Fair value through profit and loss

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Accounting principles Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value have been cate- gorised as follows: Level 1 Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 Fair value is determined by using valuation techniques that use observable price information from market. Level 3 Fair value are not based on observable market data, but on company’s own assumptions.

The fair values of electricity, natural gas and fuel oil derivatives are determined by using public price quotations in an active market (Level 1). The fair values of currency forwards and options are determined by using the market prices of the closing date of the reporting period. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk adjusted discount rate, supported by market interest rates and other market data of the closing date of the reporting period (Level 2). For financial instruments not traded on an active market, the fair value is determined by valuation techniques. Judgment is used when choosing the different techniques and making assumptions, which are mainly based on circumstances prevailing in the markets on each closing date of the reporting period (Level 3).

Trade receivables and other receivables do not include advance payments, accrued tax receivables and periodisations of employee costs (Note 4.5). Trade payables and other financial liabilities do not include advance pay- ments, accrued tax liabilities and periodisations of employee costs (Note 4.7). In Metsä Board, all interest-bearing liabilities are valued in the balance sheet at amortised cost based on effective interest method.

Fair values are based on present value of cash flow of each liability or assets calculated by market rate. The discount rates applied are between 1.9–4.3 per cent (2.2–4.6). The fair values of accounts and other receiva- bles and trade payables and other liabilities do not materially deviate from their carrying amounts in the balance sheet.
