The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
\nThe consolidated financial statements were authorised for publication by all members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on 4 March 2025.
\nThe consolidated\u00a0financial\u00a0statements are prepared on\u00a0a going concern basis and on the historical cost principle, except for\u00a0the\u00a0following material\u00a0items\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0statement\u00a0of\u00a0financial\u00a0position:
derivative\u00a0financial\u00a0instruments are measured\u00a0at\u00a0fair value
non-derivative\u00a0financial\u00a0instruments at\u00a0fair\u00a0value through\u00a0profit\u00a0or\u00a0loss\u00a0are\u00a0measured\u00a0at\u00a0fair\u00a0value
contingent\u00a0considerations\u00a0assumed\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0business combination are measured\u00a0at\u00a0fair\u00a0value
the defined benefit asset/liability is recognised as the net total of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation and is adjusted for any effect of the asset ceiling
These\u00a0consolidated\u00a0financial\u00a0statements\u00a0are\u00a0presented\u00a0in EUR, which is the Company's functional currency. All\u00a0financial\u00a0information\u00a0presented\u00a0in this report in\u00a0EUR\u00a0has\u00a0been rounded\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0nearest\u00a0thousand, unless stated otherwise.
\nThe\u00a0preparation\u00a0of\u00a0financial\u00a0statements\u00a0in\u00a0conformity\u00a0with IFRS requires\u00a0management\u00a0to\u00a0make\u00a0judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
\nIn preparing the consolidated financial statements, management considered its climate change and sustainability ambitions. In light of this, management reviewed the material accounting estimates and judgements. This review did not lead to significant changes in these accounting estimates and judgements.
\nEstimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
\nInformation\u00a0about\u00a0judgements\u00a0made\u00a0in\u00a0applying accounting policies that have the most material effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are included in the following notes:

\nThe Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. An exception on this are deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements, which are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
\nAny contingent consideration payable is initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If contingent consideration is initially classified as equity, then the amount payable is not remeasured and the related settlement is accounted for as a change in equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss as finance income or costs. Upon exercising of any related call and put option, changes in the fair value are recognised as a change in equity.
\nWritten put options to acquire a non-controlling interest are accounted for by the anticipated-acquisition method. The fair value of the consideration payable is included in financial liabilities; future changes in the carrying value of the put option are recognised in profit or loss throughout the reporting periods. Any change in carrying value at settlement date compared to the previous reporting period is recognised within equity as transaction between equity holders.
\nThe Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
The fair value of the consideration transferred;
Plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree;
Plus, if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree;
Less the net recognised amount (at fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as at that date.
\nSubsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
\nThe Group\u2019s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but no control over the financial and operating policies.
\nInterests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group\u2019s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases.
\nIntra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group\u2019s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
\nTransactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
\nNon-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
\nForeign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of financial liabilities designated as qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
\nThe assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Euro at an average rate for the month in which the transactions occurred. However, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of the average rate for a period is inappropriate and exchange rates at the date of transactions are used.
\nForeign currency differences on the translation of foreign operations to the functional currency of the Group are recognised in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests.
\nWhen the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income and are presented in the translation reserve in equity.
\nThe Group operates in two economies that are considered hyperinflationary, Argentina and T\u00fcrkiye, and applies IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies for these countries.
\nFinancial assets are classified on the basis of the business model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics.
\nThe Group initially recognises trade and other receivables that qualify as financial assets and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
\nThe Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
\nFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
\nThe Group has the following non-derivative financial assets:
\u2022 Trade and other receivables;
\u2022 Cash and cash equivalents;
\u2022 Other financial assets.
Trade and other receivables are financial assets held to collect the contractual cash flows. Trade receivables are recognised initially at transaction price minus expected credit losses. Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs minus expected credit losses. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
\nCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
\nThe Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they originate. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
\nThe Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
\nThe Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
\nOther financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, other short-term financial liabilities, and trade and other payables that qualify as financial liabilities.
\nBank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group\u2019s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
\nOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
\nWhen shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the reserve own shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.
\nThe Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
\nOn initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the following conditions are met:
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and
The hedge ratio is the same as that resulting from actual quantities of hedged items and hedging instruments used for risk management.
For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss.
\nDerivatives are recognised initially at fair value at trading date; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.
\nWhen a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity.
\nAny ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
\nWhen the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the hedge ratio will be adjusted so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. If the hedging instrument ceases to meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
\nWhen a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedging relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
\nItems of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
\nCost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is an integral part of the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
\nIf major components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, these components are accounted for separately.
\nGains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised in profit or loss.
\nSubsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
\nDepreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.
\nDepreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
\nThe estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:
\nBuildings | : 20 - 40 years |
Reconstructions and improvements | : 5 - 12 years |
Hardware and software | : 3 - 5 years |
Other non-current tangible assets | : 3 - 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
\nGoodwill\u00a0arising\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0acquisition\u00a0of\u00a0subsidiaries\u00a0is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of a business, business segment or cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is assessed and included in the determination of the profit and loss on disposal.
\nAt acquisition date, the supplier relations are recognised at fair value based on the excess earnings method. For all material supplier bases the initial valuation has been performed by an external valuator. Subsequent measurement is based on costs less amortisation. The estimation of the useful life of each supplier base is usually based on a cut-off calculation that excludes future years from the remaining useful life that account for less than 5% of the total present value of the excess earnings, unless this leads to a calculated useful life not being a proper representation of the actual useful life of the supplier relations.
\nIn addition to supplier relations, intangible assets include intellectual property rights, distribution rights, brand names, order books acquired and\u00a0non-compete\u00a0rights.\u00a0Other intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations are measured on initial recognition at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost, where intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Subsequently, intangible assets which have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation\u00a0and accumulated\u00a0impairment\u00a0losses.
\nSubsequent\u00a0expenditure\u00a0is\u00a0capitalised only when\u00a0 it increases\u00a0the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.\u00a0All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
\nAmortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
\nThe estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:
\nIMCD brand name | : indefinite |
Intellectual property rights | : 7 years |
Supplier relations acquired through business combinations | : 4- 16 years |
Other distribution, non-compete rights and order books | : (initial) contract term |
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
\nThe Group assesses at inception of the contract whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and low-value leases. For these leases the Group recognises the lease payments as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
\nThe lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
\nLease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options and
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
\nThe Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercising a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The Group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.
\nThe right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation and impairment losses.
\nRight-of-use assets are amortised or depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated or amortised over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation or amortisation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
\nThe Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in note 3.h.
\nVariable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line \u201cOther operating expenses\u201d in profit or loss.
\nAs a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
\nThe Group presents right\u2011of\u2011use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in \u2018property, plant and equipment\u2019 and 'intangible assets' and lease liabilities in \u2018loans and borrowings\u2019 in the statement of financial position.
\nInventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventories.
\nNet realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
\nAn allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) is recognised for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
\nAn ECL is determined as the difference between the contractual cash flows and the estimated expected cash flows to be collected, considering the potential risk of default.
\nAn ECL is provided for a credit loss that results from a loss event possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For credit exposures with a significant increase in credit risk a lifetime ECL is recognised and assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired.
\nObjective evidence that financial assets require an ECL can include the default of or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.
\nA simplified approach is used to determine the ECL for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables. A loss allowance is determined based on lifetime ECL on each reporting date.
\nThe Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and receivables with similar risk characteristics.
\nA provision matrix is used to determine the expected credit loss based on the Group\u2019s historical trends of incurred losses, allocated to each ageing category, adjusted for specific debtor provisions, insurance coverage and general economic developments. Management judges whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset\u2019s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investment securities. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised.
\nWhen a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
\nAn impairment loss in respect of an equity accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
The carrying amounts of the Group\u2019s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at the reporting date.
\nAn impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
\nThe recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal.
\nIn assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
\nThe Group\u2019s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.
\nImpairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and recorded as part of amortisation of intangible assets in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Subsequently, impairment losses are separately disclosed in the intangible assets movement schedule in Note 18. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
\nAn impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset\u2019s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
\nA defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
\nA defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group\u2019s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
\nThe obligation arising from these defined benefit plans are determined on the basis of projected unit credit method. The calculation of the defined benefit obligations is performed annually by qualified actuaries.
\nRemeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in OCI. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
\nWhen the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
\nThe Group\u2019s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
\nThe calculation of the other long-term employee benefits is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
\nTermination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, then these benefits are discounted.
\nThe grant date fair value of equity-settled share based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as personnel expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The grant date fair value is generally equal to the share price at the grant date, adjusted for:
expected dividends
marketability discounts for restriction periods (using the Finnerty model)
market conditions (using Monte Carlo simulations)
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
\nShort-term employee benefit obligations are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
\nA provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
\nA provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not provided for.
\nRevenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied and transfer of control is established. The amount recognised is the amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation.
\nIf the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, such as discounts and/or rebates, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which the Group will be entitled in exchange for the sale of goods.
\nThe timing of the transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.
\nWhen the Group arranges to provide goods from the supplier to the customer and does not obtain control over the goods, the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal supplier. The revenue arising from such a transaction is recognised as the net amount of commission made by the Group.
\nFinance income comprises interest income on funds invested and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
\nFinance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables) and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss.
\nFinance income and expenses includes results of changes of the fair value of contingent considerations classified as financial liabilities.
\nBorrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
\nForeign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
\nIncome\u00a0tax\u00a0expense comprises\u00a0current\u00a0and\u00a0deferred\u00a0tax. Current\u00a0tax\u00a0and\u00a0deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
\nCurrent tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
\nDeferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
\nDeferred tax is not recognised for:
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
\nDeferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
\nA deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
\nThe Group has determined that the global minimum top-up tax - which it is required to pay under Pillar II legislation - is an income tax in the scope op IAS 12. The Group has adopted the Amendments to IAS 12 on the temporary exception from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes. As a result, the Group neither recognises taxes nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes.
\nAn operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group\u2019s other components. The segmentation used by the Group is based on geography, organisation and management structure and commercial interdependencies.
\nSegment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company\u2019s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities and are presented in a separate reporting unit \u2018Holding companies\u2019.
\nThe reporting segments used are defined as follows:
EMEA: all operating companies in Europe, T\u00fcrkiye, Israel, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Africa;
Americas: all operating companies in the United States of America, Canada, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala and El Salvador;
Asia-Pacific: all operating companies in Australia, New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea;
Holding companies: all non-operating companies, including the head office in Rotterdam and the regional offices in Singapore and in the USA.
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. An exception on this are deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements, which are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
\nAny contingent consideration payable is initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

\nThe Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
\nFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
\nThe Group has the following non-derivative financial assets:
\u2022 Trade and other receivables;
\u2022 Cash and cash equivalents;
\u2022 Other financial assets.
Trade and other receivables are financial assets held to collect the contractual cash flows. Trade receivables are recognised initially at transaction price minus expected credit losses. Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs minus expected credit losses. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
\nCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
\nThe Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they originate. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
\nThe Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
\nThe Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
\nOther financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, other short-term financial liabilities, and trade and other payables that qualify as financial liabilities.
\nBank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group\u2019s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
\nOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
\nWhen shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the reserve own shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.
\nThe Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
\nOn initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the following conditions are met:
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and
The hedge ratio is the same as that resulting from actual quantities of hedged items and hedging instruments used for risk management.
For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss.
\nDerivatives are recognised initially at fair value at trading date; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.
\nWhen a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity.
\nAny ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
\nWhen the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the hedge ratio will be adjusted so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. If the hedging instrument ceases to meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
\nWhen a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedging relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and low-value leases. For these leases the Group recognises the lease payments as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
\nThe lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
\nLease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options and
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
\nThe Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercising a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The Group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.
\nThe right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation and impairment losses.
\nRight-of-use assets are amortised or depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated or amortised over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation or amortisation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
\nThe Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in note 3.h.
\nVariable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line \u201cOther operating expenses\u201d in profit or loss.
\nAs a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

\nObjective evidence that financial assets require an ECL can include the default of or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.
\nA simplified approach is used to determine the ECL for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables. A loss allowance is determined based on lifetime ECL on each reporting date.
\nThe Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and receivables with similar risk characteristics.
\nA provision matrix is used to determine the expected credit loss based on the Group\u2019s historical trends of incurred losses, allocated to each ageing category, adjusted for specific debtor provisions, insurance coverage and general economic developments. Management judges whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset\u2019s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investment securities. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised.
\nWhen a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
\nAn impairment loss in respect of an equity accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
The carrying amounts of the Group\u2019s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at the reporting date.
\nAn impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
\nThe recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal.
\nIn assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
\nThe Group\u2019s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.
\nImpairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and recorded as part of amortisation of intangible assets in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Subsequently, impairment losses are separately disclosed in the intangible assets movement schedule in Note 18. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
\nAn impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset\u2019s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
\nA defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group\u2019s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
\nThe obligation arising from these defined benefit plans are determined on the basis of projected unit credit method. The calculation of the defined benefit obligations is performed annually by qualified actuaries.
\nRemeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in OCI. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
\nWhen the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
\nThe Group\u2019s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.

A number of the Group\u2019s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods described below. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability and in Note 33.
\nThe fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of acquisition between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an at arm\u2019s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably. The fair value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the market approach and cost approaches using quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement cost estimates reflect adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.
\nThe fair value of other intangible assets acquired in a business combination is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the assets.
\nThe fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.
\nThe fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their quoted price, if available. If a quoted price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
\nThe fair value of interest rate swaps is based on quotes acquired from financial institutions. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate.
\nFair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.
\nThe fair value of contingent considerations is calculated using the income approach based on the expected payment amounts and their associated probabilities (i.e. probability-weighted). Contingent considerations with a term longer than one year are discounted to present value.
\nThe fair value of the plan assets is based on the actuarial assumptions determined by certified actuaries.

\nAlthough the Group benefits from geographical, market, client and product portfolio spread, the Group\u2019s well-structured risk management process should manage its residual risks in a transparent and controlled manner.
\nThe Group's risk management and control systems are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group at various levels, to set appropriate risk controls, and to monitor risks and the way the risks are controlled.
\nKey activities within the Group's risk management and control systems are:
Identification of key business risks, based on likelihood of occurrence and their potential impact;
Setting controls for managing these key risks.
The elements of IMCD\u2019s risk management system are the following:
\nOrganisational culture based on ethical conduct and compliance, clear responsibilities and short and open communication lines;
IMCD\u2019s policies including business principles, management instructions and manuals;
Continuous compliance training of employees;
Risk management embedded in the business processes on all organisational levels;
Internal financial reviews and risk assessments performed by the Group;
Identification of risks via risk self-assessments coordinated by Corporate Control and Corporate Health, Safety, Environment, Quality and Regulatory (HSEQR);
Implementing and optimisation of effective and efficient control procedures on various levels in the organisation;
Harmonised reporting on operations, financial results and positions and risks;
Periodical reviews of financial results and risk management by the Management Board and Corporate Control;
Periodical reviews on HSEQR management by Corporate HSEQR;
Regular review meetings between Group and local management.
The Management Board, under supervision of the Supervisory Board, has overall responsibility for the IMCD risk management and control systems. Management of regional and operating companies is responsible for local operational performance and for managing the associated local risks.
\nThe Group has exposure to the following financial risks:
Credit risk;
Liquidity risk;
Market risk;
Operational risk.
This note presents information about the Group\u2019s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group\u2019s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group\u2019s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.
\nCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group\u2019s receivables from customers.
\nThe Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group\u2019s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors \u00a0may have an influence on credit risk.
\nThe Group has established a credit policy in which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group\u2019s payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group\u2019s review includes the use of external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount. These limits are reviewed periodically.
\nCustomers that fail to meet the Group\u2019s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
\nAt the reporting date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.
\nThe Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets, adjusted for forward-looking information.
\nTo mitigate the counterparty risk with financial institutions the Group's policy is to make use of financial institutions which are investment grade. The Group\u2019s main financial institutions are systemically important and are under close supervision by their respective financial regulatory bodies.
\nLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group\u2019s approach to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group\u2019s reputation.
\nThe Group typically ensures that it generally has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for the next twelve months, including the servicing of financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted.
\nIn addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit:
EUR 600 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with a maturity date of 8 February 2030 and can be drawn in EUR and USD as well as, to an agreed sublimit, in AUD and GBP. The revolving credit facility has an interest margin dependent on external credit ratings (Moody\u2019s and Fitch). As of 31 December 2024, the Group had an undrawn revolving facility of EUR 600 million;
Several credit facilities available to the subsidiaries, mainly in United States, China, Spain, Italy, India, Indonesia and South Africa.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments. The contractual cash flows are undiscounted.

\nMarket risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group\u2019s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Group management focuses on managing and controlling market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the operating result.
\nThe Group buys derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by Group Management. The Group generally seeks to use hedging instruments to manage volatility in profit or loss.
\nThe Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Euro (EUR), United States of America Dollar (USD) and the Pound Sterling (GBP).
\nThe Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mainly by using contracts having a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.
\nInterest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, primarily EUR and USD. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into. Hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.
\nIn respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group\u2019s policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
\nThe Group\u2019s net exposure to foreign currency risk based on notional and hedged amounts of monetary assets and liabilities was as follows:

A 10% strengthening of the EUR, as indicated below, against the USD, CAD, BRL, AUD, INR, CNY, KRW, MXN, GBP and IDR at 31 December 2024 and 2023 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

\nThe Group pursues a policy of ensuring that a substantial part of its exposure to changes in interest rates on long-term financing is on a fixed rate basis, taking into account assets with exposure to changes in interest rates. If required, the Group makes uses of interest rate swap contracts.
\nAt the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group\u2019s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

\nNote 29 details the variable interest rates applicable for the non-current loans.
\nOperational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Group\u2019s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Group\u2019s operations.
\nThe Group\u2019s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the Group\u2019s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.
\nThe primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern by means of optimising the debt and equity balance. The Company does not have an explicit return on capital policy. There have been no changes in the capital management policies during the year. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Capital is considered by the Company to be equity as shown in the statement of financial position.
\nThe Group\u2019s net liabilities and adjusted equity at the reporting date are as follows:
\nEUR 1,000 | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| \u00a0 | \u00a0 | \u00a0 |
Total liabilities | 2,663,165 | 2,428,389 |

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group\u2019s receivables from customers.
\nThe Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group\u2019s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors \u00a0may have an influence on credit risk.
\nThe Group has established a credit policy in which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group\u2019s payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group\u2019s review includes the use of external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount. These limits are reviewed periodically.
\nCustomers that fail to meet the Group\u2019s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
\nAt the reporting date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.
\nThe Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets, adjusted for forward-looking information.
\nTo mitigate the counterparty risk with financial institutions the Group's policy is to make use of financial institutions which are investment grade. The Group\u2019s main financial institutions are systemically important and are under close supervision by their respective financial regulatory bodies.

Group management focuses on managing and controlling market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the operating result.
\nThe Group buys derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by Group Management. The Group generally seeks to use hedging instruments to manage volatility in profit or loss.
\nThe Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Euro (EUR), United States of America Dollar (USD) and the Pound Sterling (GBP).
\nThe Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mainly by using contracts having a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.
\nInterest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, primarily EUR and USD. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into. Hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.
\nIn respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group\u2019s policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
\nThe Group\u2019s net exposure to foreign currency risk based on notional and hedged amounts of monetary assets and liabilities was as follows:

A 10% strengthening of the EUR, as indicated below, against the USD, CAD, BRL, AUD, INR, CNY, KRW, MXN, GBP and IDR at 31 December 2024 and 2023 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

A 10% weakening of the EUR against the above currencies at 31 December 2024 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
\nThe Group pursues a policy of ensuring that a substantial part of its exposure to changes in interest rates on long-term financing is on a fixed rate basis, taking into account assets with exposure to changes in interest rates. If required, the Group makes uses of interest rate swap contracts.
\nAt the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group\u2019s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

\nNote 29 details the variable interest rates applicable for the non-current loans.
\nIn presenting information on the basis of operating segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of the Group\u00b4s operations. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets with the exception of assets related to holding companies, which are presented in a separate reporting unit.
\nTransactions between companies within an operating segment have been eliminated. Transactions between operating segments are based on arm\u2019s-length principle and are not included in the reported revenue per segment as the reported revenue per segment relates to revenue with third parties.
\nA key performance indicator for controlling the results of the operating segments is Operating EBITA.
\nOperating EBITA is defined as the sum of the result from operating activities, amortisation of intangible assets, and acquisition costs and results related to one-off adjustments to the organisation. The acquisition costs and results related to one-off adjustments to the organisation items, as disclosed in Note 11, include:
Income related to divestments;
Cost of corporate restructurings and reorganisations;
Cost related to realised and non-realised acquisitions.
While the amounts included in Operating EBITA are derived from the Group\u2019s financial information, it is not a financial measure determined in accordance with adopted IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or result from operating activities as a sole indicator of the Group\u2019s performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of the Group\u2019s liquidity. The Group uses Operating EBITA as a key performance indicator in its business operations in order to, among other things, develop budgets, measure its performance against those budgets and evaluate the performance of its operations.
\nThe bridge from result from operating activities to operating EBITA is as follows:
\nEUR 1,000 | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| \u00a0 | \u00a0 | \u00a0 |
Result from operating activities | 425,109 | 428,523 |

Amortisation of intangible assets | 95,197 | 80,934 |
Acquisition costs and results related to one-off adjustments to the organisation | 10,579 | 5,076 |
Operating EBITA | 530,885 | 514,533 |
The acquisition costs and results related to one-off adjustments to the organisation income and expenses included in the result from operating activities of 2024 and 2023 mainly relate to income from divestments of business and assets, costs of acquisitions of businesses and costs related to one-off adjustments to the organisation.
\nOperating expenses of non-operating companies are reported in the segment Holding companies. Inter-segmented amounts receivable and amounts payable are not considered in the value of the total assets and total liabilities of each segment. The results of the operating segments are as follows:

Reported revenue per segment relates to revenue with third parties, hence no inter-segment revenues are included. IMCD and its operating segments have a diverse customer base of over 68,000 customers in many countries and of various sizes. IMCD and its segments do not rely on a single customer or a single group of customers for its operations. With a supplier base of approximately 3,400 suppliers and product portfolio of about 52,000 products, the same applies with regard to the reliance on a single supplier or a single group of suppliers and a single product or range of products.

Together, these four acquisitions generated a total revenue of approximately EUR 27 million in 2023.
\nThe aforementioned transactions added EUR 209.5 million of revenue and EUR 13.6 million of result for the year to the Group\u2019s results in 2024. If the acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2024, management estimates that the consolidated revenue would have been EUR 4,818.4 million and the consolidated net profit would have been EUR 285.9 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2024 The total consideration related to the aforementioned transactions, transferred in cash in 2024, amounts to EUR 367.6 million. As of 31 December 2024, the deferred and contingent considerations payable amount to EUR 49.3 million.

The completion of the acquisition of the remaining 30% was executed on the basis of the share purchase agreement of November 2021. As IMCD obtained full control over Megasetia as per November 2020, this purchase price obligation was included in IMCD\u2019s reported net debt position and results of Megasetia are consolidated in full into the IMCD figures since the November 2021 acquisition date.
The identifiable assets recognised and liabilities assumed are recognised on the basis of provisional purchase price allocation. Based on the information currently available we do not anticipate significant adjustments to the purchase price allocation. At the acquisition dates the recognised amounts are as follows:

The intangible assets recognised primarily relate to the supplier relationships acquired. Notably, the acquisition of CJ Shah, which focused on business lines and supplier contracts, resulted in a significant recognition (EUR 26.8 million) of intangible assets and is presented under the \"Other\" category.
\nThe supplier relations have been determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method. This method considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by the supplier relationships, by excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets. The cash flows which have been used as input were based on the projections made by the sellers, adjusted for future supplier losses due to exclusivity conflicts, projected market developments based on external sources and our own expectations based on our extensive market knowledge. Furthermore, attrition rates are determined based on the annual decrease in revenues related to suppliers (when applicable) in the most recent financial years, adjusted for annual inflation. These attrition rates have been applied in the projections.
\nThe gross contractual value of the trade and other receivables acquired amounts to EUR 38.5 million of which EUR 9.5 million relates to Euro-Chemo, EUR 8.6 million relates to Blumos Group and EUR 6.6 million relates to Valuetree.
\nGoodwill recognised as a result of the acquisitions in the financial year is as follows.

IMCD's business model is based on long lasting relationships with suppliers of speciality chemicals and ingredients. In order to provide more insight in the segmentation per market, IMCD has decided to break down the sales in the market segments Life Science and Industrial.
\nLife Science consists of the following lines of business: Pharmaceuticals, Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Nutrition and Home Care and I&I. In general, the lines of business within Life Science historically have been less sensitive to economic fluctuations. Furthermore, the Life Science segment consists of lower order volumes and higher margins than the Industrials market segment.
\nThe Industrial segment contains the lines of business of Coatings & Construction, Lubricants & Energy, Industrial Solutions and Advanced Materials. This segment has a more cyclical nature as the performance is dependent on the developments of, amongst others, the housing and real estate, automotive and oil & gas markets.

Under this equity settled LTIP, performance shares are awarded based on certain performance conditions. The aims of the LTIP are to drive long-term value creation, incentivise performance through shared success, and retain key employees.
\nThe applicable performance conditions for the Management Board are:
50%: relative Total Shareholder Return performance (TSR), a market-related condition, compared with a selected group of peer companies and
50%: cash earnings per share (internal performance condition).
The performance period starts every year on 1 January and lasts three financial years. After vesting, the unconditional shares are subject to a holding period of two years and become unrestricted five years after grant date.
\nThe performance conditions for the Executive Committee and for senior managers are solely internal performance conditions and include:
20%: growth in cash earnings per share (only for the Executive Committee);
50%: operating EBITA;
30% (Executive Committee) or 50% (senior managers): discretionary assessment by the Management Board.
The performance period for the Executive Committee and for senior managers starts every year on 1 January and lasts one year. The shares become unconditional after a service period of three years, i.e. two years after the performance period. All performance share plans are equity-settled.
\nThe fair value of the TSR performance shares is determined as of the date of each grant, and based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Management Board members are not allowed to sell the delivered shares until five years after the date of the conditional award, i.e. just over two years after vesting. The level of this marketability discount is calculated by using the Finnerty Model and represents the compensation that a risk-averse investor would require for holding the shares for this extra period. The inputs for determining the marketability discount are:
The volatility of the underlying shares (2024: 28%)
The length of restriction period (2024: 2 years)
The dividend yield of the underlying shares (2024: 1.4%)
The marketability discount for the LTIP 2024 is determined at 10% and the fair value of the TSR hurdle shares granted in 2024 is EUR 114.32 per share.
\nThe fair value of the operating EBITA/Cash earnings per share related performance share granted to Executive Committee and senior managers in 2024, is determined by discounting the share price at grant date (EUR 142.25, discounted: EUR 136.50). The fair value of the cash earnings per share related performance share granted to the Management Board in 2024 is EUR 152.05 (discounted: EUR 145.94). The applied discount rates is based on a risk-free interest rate and caters for the missed dividends during the period between the grant date and the settlement date, using the historical dividend yield.
\nThe fair value is charged to the profit or loss during the vesting period, based on the on-target awards of the TSR part and the expected cash earnings per share and operating EBITA outcome.
\nAt each balance sheet date, the non-market conditions (operating EBITA and cash earnings per share) and the employee attrition, are reassessed. Any adjustment required is charged to the income statement.
\nThe shares yet to be vested of a LTIP member who resigns from the Group within the three-year vesting period will, in principle, be forfeited.
\nThe number of performance shares granted is as follows.

Shares granted to Executive Committee and certain senior managers | 30,823 | 150.69 | 24,488 | 140.83 |
The total number of performance shares granted in 2024 is based on a target performance (100 per cent) with an upward and downward potential for the Management Board and the Executive Committee. The expected total number of performance shares is 85,949 with vesting dates in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The weighted average share price of granted shares is equal to the share price at the grant date adjusted for the expected retention and expected dividends, based on the Company's dividend policy, during the vesting period. In addition, the weighted average share price of shares granted to the Management Board is adjusted for market-related performance conditions and for the impact of the restriction period.

\nIMCD is subject to Pillar II tax legislation as of 1 January 2024, establishing that the Group pays tax on its profits at an effective tax rate of at least 15% within each jurisdiction. IMCD applies the temporary Country-by-Country (CbCR) Safe Harbours to the largest extent possible. To the extent the CbCR Safe Harbours are not available, the Group prepares the detailed calculation, to determine whether a current tax expense relating to the top-up tax must be recognised.
\nFor 2024, a current tax expense of EUR 606 thousand (2023: nil) is recognised, which fully relates to the activities in Puerto Rico. As such, the top-up tax calculated over the year 2024 does not have a material tax impact on the Group.
\nAs Puerto Rico has not yet enacted new tax legislation to implement a qualified domestic top-up tax, the Group has recognised the Pillar II current tax expense at the level of the ultimate parent company in the Netherlands.
\nThe Group is continuing to assess the impact of the Pillar II rules on its future financial performance.

For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the following cash generating units.
\nEUR 1,000 | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
EMEA | 471,042 | 444,897 |
Americas | 501,767 | 421,491 |
Asia-Pacific | 899,681 | 745,962 |
| \u00a0 | 1,872,490 | 1,612,350 |
A cash generating unit (CGU) represents the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
\nThe recoverable amount per CGU is based on its value in use and is determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continued use of the CGUs. The cash flow forecasts were derived from the budget for 2025 and the plan years 2026 and 2027 which were established at the legal entity level and approved by Management Board and Supervisory Board. The forecasted cash flows have been extrapolated to the years 2028 and 2029. For the period 2030 and after a growth rate equal to the weighted average of the forecasted annual real GDP growth rate for the period 2030-2055 is taken into account.
\nThe pre-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is estimated per CGU and varies mainly due to differences in risk free rates. The risk-free rates per CGU are equal to the weighted average of the rate of return on local sovereign bonds or strips. The WACC has predominately decreased due to lower risk-free rates. The main assumptions used to determine the WACC were assessed by an external certified valuation expert.
\nThe key assumptions for 2024 and 2023 for each CGU are as follows:
\n| \u00a0 | 2024 | 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \u00a0 | Pre-tax WACC | Terminal | Pre-tax WACC | Terminal |
EMEA | 14.1% | 2.5% | 14.5% | 2.8% |
Americas | 16.5% | 2.4% | 16.7% | 2.7% |
Asia-Pacific | 14.4% | 3.4% | 15.0% | 3.5% |
No impairment of goodwill was necessary following impairment tests on all cash generating units within the Group. The discounted future cash flows from all cash generating units exceed the value of the goodwill and other relevant net assets.
\nIt is inherent in the method of computation used that a change in the assumptions may lead to a different conclusion. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is performed based on a change in a key assumption while keeping all other assumptions unchanged.
\nThe following changes in assumptions are assessed:
Decrease of the average growth rate 2025-2029 to the terminal growth rate;
Decrease of the terminal growth rate by 1.0%;
Increase of the WACC by 1.0%.
The conclusion based on the sensitivity analysis performed is that any reasonable change in the key assumptions would not lead to an impairment. For Asia-Pacific the break-even point is reached earlier than the other segments, but taking into account the considerable growth of the region and the expansion by means of the recent acquisitions this scenario is highly unlikely.
\nThe supplier relationships consist of supplier bases within the following regions and remaining useful lives (RUL):
\nEUR 1,000 | RUL | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
EMEA | 4-13 | 108,418 | 115,586 |
Americas | 5-16 | 177,029 | 151,953 |
Asia-Pacific | 4-16 | 394,814 | 324,679 |
| \u00a0 | \u00a0 | 680,261 | 592,218 |
The remaining useful lives of supplier bases are assessed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Furthermore, triggering events for a possible impairment are evaluated annually by means of assessing the potential impact of available internal and external information sources.
\nBrand names relate to the IMCD brand. As no assumption can be made about the durability of its economic use, the brand name has an indefinite useful life. The IMCD brand name is considered as a corporate asset and hence allocated to the individual CGUs for goodwill impairment testing purposes. The carrying amount of the brand name has been allocated to the CGUs as follows: EMEA: EUR 10.5 million (2023: EUR 10.9 million), Asia-Pacific: EUR 6.8 million (2023: EUR 6.1 million) and Americas: EUR 7.7 million (2023: EUR 7.9 million).

\nEUR 1,000 | 2024 | 2023 |

EMEA | 471,042 | 444,897 |
Americas | 501,767 | 421,491 |

| \u00a0 | 1,872,490 | 1,612,350 |
A cash generating unit (CGU) represents the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
\nThe recoverable amount per CGU is based on its value in use and is determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continued use of the CGUs. The cash flow forecasts were derived from the budget for 2025 and the plan years 2026 and 2027 which were established at the legal entity level and approved by Management Board and Supervisory Board. The forecasted cash flows have been extrapolated to the years 2028 and 2029. For the period 2030 and after a growth rate equal to the weighted average of the forecasted annual real GDP growth rate for the period 2030-2055 is taken into account.
\nThe pre-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is estimated per CGU and varies mainly due to differences in risk free rates. The risk-free rates per CGU are equal to the weighted average of the rate of return on local sovereign bonds or strips. The WACC has predominately decreased due to lower risk-free rates. The main assumptions used to determine the WACC were assessed by an external certified valuation expert.
\nThe key assumptions for 2024 and 2023 for each CGU are as follows:
\n| \u00a0 | 2024 | 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \u00a0 | Pre-tax WACC | Terminal | Pre-tax WACC | Terminal |
EMEA | 14.1% | 2.5% | 14.5% | 2.8% |
Americas | 16.5% | 2.4% | 16.7% | 2.7% |
Asia-Pacific | 14.4% | 3.4% | 15.0% | 3.5% |
No impairment of goodwill was necessary following impairment tests on all cash generating units within the Group. The discounted future cash flows from all cash generating units exceed the value of the goodwill and other relevant net assets.
\nIt is inherent in the method of computation used that a change in the assumptions may lead to a different conclusion. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is performed based on a change in a key assumption while keeping all other assumptions unchanged.
\nThe following changes in assumptions are assessed:
Decrease of the average growth rate 2025-2029 to the terminal growth rate;
Decrease of the terminal growth rate by 1.0%;
Increase of the WACC by 1.0%.
The conclusion based on the sensitivity analysis performed is that any reasonable change in the key assumptions would not lead to an impairment. For Asia-Pacific the break-even point is reached earlier than the other segments, but taking into account the considerable growth of the region and the expansion by means of the recent acquisitions this scenario is highly unlikely.
\nThe supplier relationships consist of supplier bases within the following regions and remaining useful lives (RUL):
\nEUR 1,000 | RUL | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
EMEA | 4-13 | 108,418 | 115,586 |
Americas | 5-16 | 177,029 | 151,953 |
Asia-Pacific | 4-16 | 394,814 | 324,679 |
| \u00a0 | \u00a0 | 680,261 | 592,218 |
The remaining useful lives of supplier bases are assessed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Furthermore, triggering events for a possible impairment are evaluated annually by means of assessing the potential impact of available internal and external information sources.
\nBrand names relate to the IMCD brand. As no assumption can be made about the durability of its economic use, the brand name has an indefinite useful life. The IMCD brand name is considered as a corporate asset and hence allocated to the individual CGUs for goodwill impairment testing purposes. The carrying amount of the brand name has been allocated to the CGUs as follows: EMEA: EUR 10.5 million (2023: EUR 10.9 million), Asia-Pacific: EUR 6.8 million (2023: EUR 6.1 million) and Americas: EUR 7.7 million (2023: EUR 7.9 million).

| \u00a0 | \u00a0 | \u00a0 |

Future salary increases | 1.38% | 1.57% |
Future pension increases | 1.24% | 1.20% |
Price inflation | 2.04% | 2.02% |
The four significant defined benefit plans are the schemes in The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada. Assumptions regarding future mortality are based on published statistics and mortality tables. The following tables have been used:
The Netherlands: AGPrognose2022Hoog 7 based on income class high-middle
The United Kingdom: before retirement and after retirement - S4PXA_L CMI 2023 model
Canada: CPM 2014 Public & Private with 2D projections using Scale B
Switzerland: BVG/LPP 2020 Generation Tables
The Group expects EUR 3.388 thousand in contributions to be paid to its defined benefit plans in 2025. The Canadian pension plans are partially unfunded. The duration of the funded obligation based on expected cash flows is 11 years, the unfunded plans have an expected duration of 12 years.
\nThe defined benefit plans in Austria, Germany, India, South Korea, the Philippines and The United States relate to a limited number of (retired) employees. For that reason, sensitivity analyses for these plans are not provided. The four significant defined benefit plans are the schemes in The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada.
\nThe plan in the Netherlands was an average salary defined benefit plan until 31 December 2016. The plan is financed through an insurance policy. There are no specific material entity risks to which the plan is exposed and the plan assets are not invested in a single class of investments. From 2016 onwards, no additional retirement benefits accrue in the defined benefit plan. The retirement benefits related to employee services in 2017 and onwards accrued in a new pension plan, effective from 1 January 2017. As a result of the parameters in the new pension contract, it classifies as a defined contribution plan.
\nThe plan in the United Kingdom has 29 members and is a final salary defined benefit plan. The plan is financed through a pension fund. The plan assets are not invested in a single class of investments.
\nThe plan in Canada consists of three separate plans: a pension and supplementary retirement pension plan for certain (former) executive members (9 members) and a non-pension post-retirement benefit plan providing extended health, dental, life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits.\u00a0 The supplementary plan and non-pension plan are unfunded.
\nThe pension plan of IMCD Switzerland has 64 active members. The plan is financed through a pension fund and the plan assets are not invested in a single class of investments.
\nThe obligations arising from the defined benefit plans mentioned above are determined using the projected unit credit method. The projected unit credit method determines the expected benefits to be paid after retirement, taking dynamic measurement parameters into account and spreading them over the entire length of service of the employees participating in the plan. For this purpose, an actuarial valuation is obtained every year. The actuarial assumptions for the discount rate, salary growth rate, pension trend and life expectancy, which are used to calculate the defined benefit obligation are established on the basis of the respective economic circumstances.
\nThe plan assets measured at fair value are deducted from the present value of the defined benefit obligation (gross pension obligation). Plan assets are assets where the claim to said assets has, in principle, been assigned to the beneficiaries. This results in a net liability or a net asset to be recognised.
\nReasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligations of the three significant defined benefit plans by the amounts shown below:

The amount assumed in business combinations relates to the deferred purchase prices for the acquisitions of Valuetree, Blumos Group, and some smaller earn-outs.
\nThe net gain included in profit and loss of EUR 35.799 thousand (2023: gain of EUR 29,287 thousand) is the result of remeasuring contingent considerations. The main fair value adjustments in 2024 relate to a reduction in the estimated deferred consideration, consisting of Sanrise (China) of EUR 25.9 million (2023: EUR 15.6 million), Megasetia (Indonesia) of EUR 7.7 million (2023: EUR 12.0 million) and Valuetree (India) of EUR 5.9 million. The reductions are the consequence of the actual lower level of profitability of the acquired entities, compared with the assumptions used in the previous fair value determination.
\nThe fair value of contingent considerations is subject to two principal assumptions. The effects of reasonable changes to these assumptions, keeping other assumptions constant, are set out below.
