2 8. | Financial Assets and Liabilities
We have various financial assets such as trade and non-trade receivables, cash and short-term deposits. Our principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise of bank loans, finance leases, trade and non-trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance our operations. We also enter into derivative transactions, primarily principal only-currency swap agreements, interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts and options to manage the currency and interest rate risks arising from our operations and sources of financing. Our accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Financial Instruments. The following table sets forth our consolidated financial assets and financial liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

| (1) | Fair values determined using observable market inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| (2) | Fair values determined using inputs other than quoted market prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liabilities.
| (3) | Fair values determined using discounted values of future cash flows for the assets or liabilities.
As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value: Long-term financial assets and liabilities: Fair value is based on the following:
Type |  | Fair Value Assumptions |  | Fair Value Hierarchy
Noncurrent portion of advances and other noncurrent assets |  | Estimated fair value is based on the discounted values of future cash flows using the applicable zero-coupon rates plus counterparties’ credit spread. |  | Level 3
Fixed Rate Loans: U.S. Dollar notes |  | Quoted market price. |  | Level 1
Investment in debt securities |  | Fair values were determined using quoted prices. For non-quoted securities, fair values were determined using discounted cash flow based on market observable rates. |  | Level 1 Level 3
Other loans in all other currencies |  | Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable Commercial Interest Reference Rate and BVAL rates for similar types of loans plus PLDT’s credit spread.(1) |  | Level 3
Variable Rate Loans |  | The carrying value approximates fair value because of recent and regular repricing based on market conditions. |  | Level 2
| (1) | Effective October 29, 2018, PHP BVAL Reference Rates replaced PDST Reference Rates (PDST-RI and PDST-R2).
Derivative Financial Instruments Forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps: The fair values were computed as the present value of estimated future cash flows using market U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates as at valuation date. The valuation techniques considered various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties. Due to the short-term nature of the transactions, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and dividends payable approximate their carrying values as at the end of the reporting period. Our derivative financial instruments are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or transactions not designated as hedges. Cash flow hedges refer to those transactions that hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized financial asset or liability and exposures arising from forecast transactions. Changes in the fair value of these instruments representing effective hedges are recognized directly in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in our consolidated income statement. For transactions that are not designated as hedges, any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized directly to income for the period. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, we have taken into account the counterparties’ credit risks (for derivative assets) and our own non-performance risk (for derivative liabilities) and have included a credit or debit valuation adjustment, as appropriate, by assessing the maximum credit exposure and taking into account market-based inputs which considers the risk of default occurring and corresponding losses once the default event occurs. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value. The table below sets out the information about our consolidated derivative financial instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The main risks arising from our financial instruments are liquidity risk, foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The importance of managing those risks has significantly increased in light of the considerable change and volatility in both the Philippine and international financial markets. Our Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. We also monitor the market price risk arising from all financial instruments. Liquidity Risk Our exposure to liquidity risk refers to the risk that our financial requirements, working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures will not be met. We manage our liquidity profile to be able to finance our operations and capital expenditures, service our maturing debts and meet our other financial obligations. To cover our financing requirements, we use internally generated funds and proceeds from debt and equity issues and sales of certain assets. As part of our liquidity risk management program, we regularly evaluate our projected and actual cash flows, including our loan maturity profiles, and continuously assess conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives. These activities may include bank loans, export credit agency-guaranteed facilities, debt capital and equity market issues. Any excess funds are primarily invested in short-term and principal-protected bank products that provide flexibility of withdrawing the funds anytime. We also allocate a portion of our cash in longer tenor investments such as fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the Republic of the Philippines, and Philippine banks and corporates and managed funds. We regularly evaluate available financial products and monitor market conditions for opportunities to enhance yields at acceptable risk levels. Our investments are also subject to certain restrictions contained in our debt covenants. Our funding arrangements are designed to keep an appropriate balance between equity and debt and to provide financing flexibility while enhancing our businesses. Our cash position remains sufficient to support our planned capital expenditure requirements and service our debt and financing obligations; however, we may be required to finance a portion of our future capital expenditures from external financing sources. We have cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments amounting to Php24,369 million and Php314 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2019, which we can use to meet our short-term liquidity needs. See Note 16 – Cash and Cash Equivalents. The following table summarizes the maturity profile of our financial assets based on our consolidated undiscounted claims outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Various Trade and Other Obligations PLDT Group has various obligations to suppliers for the acquisition of phone and network equipment, contractors for services rendered on various projects, foreign administrations and domestic carriers for the access charges, shareholders for unpaid dividends distributions, employees for benefits and other related obligations, and various business and operational related agreements. Total obligations under these various agreements amounted to approximately Php153,255 million and Php145,892 million as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. See Note 23 – Accounts Payable and Note 24 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities. Commercial Commitments Our outstanding consolidated commercial commitments, in the form of letters of credit, amounted to nil and Php20 million as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These commitments will expire within one year. See Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Investments of PLDT in VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare. Collateral We have not made any pledges as collateral with respect to our financial liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated financial assets and liabilities as a result of the appreciation or depreciation of the Philippine Peso is recognized as foreign exchange gains or losses as at the end of the reporting period. The extent of foreign exchange gains or losses is largely dependent on the amount of foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities. While a certain percentage of our revenues are either linked to or denominated in U.S. Dollars, a substantial portion of our capital expenditures, a portion of our indebtedness and related interest expense and a portion of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, mostly in U.S. Dollars. As such, a strengthening or weakening of the Philippine Peso against the U.S. Dollar will decrease or increase in Philippine Peso terms both the principal amount of our foreign currency-denominated debts and the related interest expense, our foreign currency-denominated capital expenditures and operating expenses as well as our U.S. Dollar-linked and U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues. In addition, many of our financial ratios and other financial tests are affected by the movements in the Philippine Peso to U.S. Dollar exchange rate. To manage our foreign exchange risks and to stabilize our cash flows in order to improve investment and cash flow planning, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swap contracts, currency option contracts and other hedging products aimed at reducing and/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our operating results and cash flows. Further details of the risk management strategy is recognized in our hedge designation documentation. We use forward foreign exchange purchase contracts, currency swap contracts and currency option contracts to manage the foreign currency risks associated with our foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities. We accounted for these instruments as either cash flow hedges, wherein changes in the fair value are recognized in our consolidated other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction affects our consolidated income statement or transactions not designated as hedges, wherein changes in the fair value are recognized directly as income or expense for the year. The impact of the hedging instruments on our consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

| (1) | The exchange rate used to convert the U.S. Dollar amounts into Philippine Peso was Php50.80 to US$1.00, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate as quoted through the Bankers Association of the Philippines as at December 31, 2019.
| (2) | The exchange rate used to convert the U.S. Dollar amounts into Philippine Peso was Php52.56 to US$1.00, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate as quoted through the Bankers Association of the Philippines as at December 31, 2018.
As at March 30, 2020, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate was Php51.04 to US$1.00. Using this exchange rate, our consolidated net foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities would have increased in Philippine Peso terms by Php76 million as at December 31, 2019. Approximately 9% and 13% of our total consolidated debts (net of consolidated debt discount) were denominated in U.S. Dollars as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our consolidated foreign currency-denominated debt decreased to Php17,029 million as at December 31, 2019 from Php23,352 million as at December 31, 2018. See Note 21 – Interest-bearing Financial Liabilities. The aggregate notional amount of our consolidated outstanding long-term principal only-currency swap contracts were US$36 million and US$47 million as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Consequently, the unhedged portion of our consolidated debt amounts was approximately 8% (or 8%, net of our consolidated U.S. Dollar cash balances allocated for debt) and 12% (or 8%, net of our consolidated U.S. Dollar cash balances allocated for debt) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Approximately 15% and 16% of our consolidated revenues were denominated in U.S. Dollars and/or were linked to U.S. Dollars for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Approximately 11% and 8% of our consolidated expenses were denominated in U.S. Dollars and/or linked to the U.S. Dollar for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In this respect, the higher weighted average exchange rate of the Philippine Peso against the U.S. Dollar increased our revenues and expenses, and consequently, affects our cash flow from operations in Philippine Peso terms. In view of the anticipated continued decline in dollar-denominated/dollar-linked revenues, which provide a natural hedge against our foreign currency exposure, we are progressively refinancing our dollar-denominated debts in Philippine Pesos. The Philippine Peso appreciated by 3.35% against the U.S. Dollar to Php50.80 to US$1.00 as at December 31, 2019 from Php52.56 to US$1.00 as at December 31, 2018. As a result of our consolidated foreign exchange movements, as well as the amount of our consolidated outstanding net foreign currency financial assets and liabilities, we recognized net consolidated foreign exchange gain of Php408 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, while we recognized net consolidated foreign exchange losses of Php771 million and Php411 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Management conducted a survey among our banks to determine the outlook of the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate until December 31, 2020. Our outlook is that the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate may weaken/strengthen by 0.59% as compared to the exchange rate of Php50.80 to US$1.00 as at December 31, 2019. If the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate had weakened/strengthened by 0.59% as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the year 2019 and stockholders’ equity as at year end 2019 would have been approximately Php62 million and Php58 million, respectively, lower/higher, mainly as a result of consolidated foreign exchange gains and losses on conversion of U.S. Dollar-denominated net assets/liabilities and mark-to-market valuation of derivative financial instruments. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. Our policy is to manage interest cost through a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. We evaluate the fixed to floating ratio of our loans in line with movements of relevant interest rates in the financial markets. Based on our assessment, new financing will be priced either on a fixed or floating rate basis. We enter into interest rate swap agreements in order to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Further details of the risk management strategy is recognized in our hedge designation documentation. We make use of hedging instruments and structures solely for reducing or managing financial risk associated with our debt obligations and not for trading purposes. The impact of the hedging instruments on our consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Fixed rate financial instruments are subject to fair value interest rate risk while floating rate financial instruments are subject to cash flow interest rate risk. Repricing of floating rate financial instruments is mostly done on intervals of three months or six months. Interest on fixed rate financial instruments is fixed until maturity of the particular instrument. Approximately 18% and 21% of our consolidated debts were variable rate debts as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our consolidated variable rate debt decreased to Php35,098 million as at December 31, 2019 from Php36,575 million as at December 31, 2018. Considering the aggregate notional amount of our consolidated outstanding long-term interest rate swap contracts of US$233 million and US$323 million as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, approximately 88% and 89% of our consolidated debts were fixed as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Management conducted a survey among our banks to determine the outlook of the U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates until December 31, 2020. Our outlook is that the U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates may move 15 basis points, or bps, and 20 bps higher/lower, respectively, as compared to levels as at December 31, 2019. If the U.S. Dollar interest rates had been 15 bps higher/lower as compared to market levels as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the year 2019 and stockholders’ equity as at year end 2019 would have been approximately Php2 million each lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings and loss/gain on derivative transactions. If the Philippine Peso interest rates had been 20 bps higher/lower as compared to market levels as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the year 2019 and stockholders’ equity as at year end 2019 would have been approximately Php14 million each lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings and loss/gain on derivative transactions. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that we will incur a loss arising from our customers, clients or counterparties that fail to discharge their contracted obligations. We manage and control credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk we are willing to accept for individual counterparties and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits. We trade only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is our policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis to reduce our exposure to bad debts. We established a credit quality review process to provide regular identification of changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties. Counterparty limits are established and reviewed periodically based on latest available financial data on our counterparties’ credit ratings, capitalization, asset quality and liquidity. Our credit quality review process allows us to assess the potential loss as a result of the risks to which we are exposed and allow us to take corrective actions. Maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets not subject to impairment The gross carrying amount of financial assets not subject to impairment also represents our maximum exposure to credit risk as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |

Maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets subject to impairment The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of our consolidated statements of financial position, including derivative financial instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The maximum exposure is shown gross before both the effect of mitigation through use of master netting and collateral arrangements. The extent to which collateral and other credit enhancements mitigate the maximum exposure to credit risk is described in the footnotes to the table. For financial assets recognized on our consolidated statements of financial position, the gross exposure to credit risk equal their carrying amount.

Maximum exposure to credit risk after collateral held or other credit enhancements Collateral held as security for financial assets depends on the nature of the instrument. Debt investment securities are generally unsecured. Estimates of fair value are based on the value of collateral assessed at the time of borrowing and are regularly updated according to internal lending policies and regulatory guidelines. Generally, collateral is not held over loans and advances to us except for reverse repurchase agreements. Collateral usually is not held against investment securities, and no such collateral was held as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Our policies regarding obtaining collateral have not significantly changed during the reporting period and there has been no significant change in the overall quality of the collateral held by us during the year. We have not identified significant risk concentrations arising from the nature, type or location of collateral and other credit enhancements held against our credit exposures.

Capital Management Risk We aim to achieve an optimal capital structure in pursuit of our business objectives which include maintaining healthy capital ratios and strong credit ratings, and maximizing shareholder value. In recent years, our cash flow from operations has allowed us to substantially reduce debts and, in 2005, resume payment of dividends on common shares. Since 2005, our strong cash flow has enabled us to make investments in new areas and pay higher dividends. Our approach to capital management focuses on balancing the allocation of cash and the incurrence of debt as we seek new investment opportunities for new businesses and growth areas. On August 5, 2014, the PLDT Board of Directors approved an amendment to our dividend policy, increasing the dividend payout rate to 75% from 70% of our core EPS as regular dividends, although we amended our dividend policy to reduce the regular dividend payout to 60% of core EPS in 2016. In declaring dividends, we take into consideration the interest of our shareholders, as well as our working capital, capital expenditures and debt servicing requirements. The retention of earnings may be necessary to meet the funding requirements of our business expansion and development programs. However, in view of our elevated capital expenditures to build-out a robust, superior network to support the continued growth of data traffic, plans to invest in new adjacent businesses that will complement the current business and provide future sources of profits and dividends, and management of our cash and gearing levels, the PLDT Board of Directors approved on August 2, 2016, the amendment of our dividend policy, reducing the regular dividend payout to 60% of core EPS. As part of the dividend policy, in the event no investment opportunities arise, we may consider the option of returning additional cash to our shareholders in the form of special dividends or share buybacks. Philippine corporate regulations prescribe, however, that we can only pay out dividends or make capital distribution up to the amount of our unrestricted retained earnings. Some of our debt instruments contain covenants that impose maximum leverage ratios. In addition, our credit ratings from the international credit ratings agencies are based on our ability to remain within certain leverage ratios. No changes were made in our objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
