The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is determined on the basis of its value in use. These method uses cash flow projections based on approved financial budgets covering a period of zero years.

The key assumptions are related to marginal contribution margins. These were determined on the basis of historic performances, other external sources of information and the expectations of market development.

The discount rates used  were 14%  and are the respective average cost of capital (“WACC”), which is considered a good indicator of the cost of capital. For each cash generating unit, where the assets are assigned, a specific WACC was determined considering the industry, the country and the size of the business.

The main macroeconomic premises used are detailed below:

Goodwill has been tested annually for impairment. No impairment adjustments have been determined over these assets as a result of the tests performed.

The sensitivity analysis for the cash-generating unit to which the Goodwill was allocated was based on a 1% increase in the weighted average cost of capital. The Group concluded that no impairment loss would need to be recognized on the Goodwill  in the segment under these conditions.
