Translation of transactions and balances
On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction. Currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
these transactions as well as from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income statement as Financial income or expenses.
Non-current assets acquired in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of
acquisition. Gains and losses on hedges relating to the acquisition of non-current assets are recognised as part
of the value of the non-current asset at its initial recognition.
Translation of subsidiaries
In the Financial Statements, the Income statement items of subsidiaries with a functional currency different
from DKK are translated at the average exchange rate, calculated on an average for each month, while the
balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation of such subsidiaries’ equity at the beginning of the reporting period to the
exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and on translation of the Income statements from average
exchange rates to the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period are recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income and attributed to a separate translation reserve under equity.
When disposing of 100%-owned foreign enterprises, exchange differences which have accumulated in Equity
via Other Comprehensive Income, and which are attributable to the enterprise, are transferred from Other
Comprehensive Income to the Income statement together with any gains or losses associated with the
disposal.
