As disclosed in Note 14 "Acquisitions", values for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been restated for fair value adjustments related to the Findus Switzerland acquisition. Amortization and impairment of €9.9 million (December 31, 2020: €7.8 million; December 31, 2019: €8.6 million) is included in ‘other operating expenses’ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Goodwill is initially recognized based on the accounting policy for goodwill (see note 3.5) and is subsequently measured at cost less amounts provided for impairment. The Company’s goodwill, brand and customer relationships values have been allocated to a level no larger than the identified operating segment. This represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. As required by IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', an annual review of the carrying amount of the goodwill and the indefinite life brands is carried out to identify whether there is any impairment to these carrying values. This is done by means of comparison of the carrying values to the value in use of the CGU. Value in use is calculated as the net present value of the projected risk-adjusted cash flows of each CGU. Key assumptions The values for the key assumptions relating to the annual review of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite life brands were arrived at by taking into consideration detailed historical information and comparison to external sources where appropriate, such as market rates for discount factors. •Budgeted cash flows: the calculation of value in use has been based on the cash flow forecasts by management for 2022 to 2025. The trends in these forecasts have been extrapolated to produce a forecast cash flow for 2026. Beyond 2026 the same assumptions have been applied for future periods in the absence of longer term detailed forecasts. These plans have been prepared and approved by management, and incorporate past performance of the entities acquired in the period, historical growth rates and projections of developments in key markets. •Revenue: projected revenues are built up with reference to markets and product platforms. They incorporate past performance, historical growth rates and projections of developments in key markets. •Profit margins: projected margins reflect historical performance, adjusted to account for volatility, such as the impact of COVID-19. •Capital expenditure forecast reflects expected expenditure requirements and includes an allowance for the replacement of leased right-of-use assets. •Discount rate: a pre-tax discount rate of 6.4% (2020: 5.8%) was applied to the cash flows. This discount rate has been calculated using a capital asset pricing model using observable market data, including the share price of Nomad Foods Limited. •Long-term growth rates: the growth rate used in the testing after the detailed forecasting period was 1.0% (2020: 1.0%). These rates do not reflect the long-term assumptions used by the Company for investment planning. Sensitivity to changes in assumptions Impairment was not required at either December 31, 2021, or December 31, 2020. In each case the valuations derived from the discounted cash flow model indicate a sufficient amount of headroom for which any reasonably possible change to key assumptions is unlikely to result in an impairment of the related goodwill.
