Acquisition of Interest and Control

Accounting policy

A business combination is accounted for applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured in order to classify and allocate them according to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired company is measured based on its interest in net assets identified in the acquired company. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and to be transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired (identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net). After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the respective Company’s operating segments. When the cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, a gain is recognized directly in the statement of income. Costs related to the acquisitions are recorded in the statement of income when incurred.
