Fair value measurement
The majority of the funding, loans, investments, other non-derivative receivables and liabilities, trade receivables and trade payables held by the Group have short remaining terms to maturity. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using appropriate valuation methods on the basis of observable market information at the reporting date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of currency forwards is calculated on the basis of the forward rates at the reporting date. In the KION Group, all derivative financial instruments are classified as level 2 measurement as defined by IFRS 7.
In order to minimise default risk to the greatest possible extent, the KION Group only enters into derivatives with counterparties holding a high credit rating.
With the exception of derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale assets, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
