3. Basis of Preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Deutschland Holding AG are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information and disclosures required for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (see Note 3, Basis of Preparation).

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2017 are unaudited.

Functional currency and presentation currency

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the functional currency of the Telefónica Deutschland Group.

Unless otherwise stated, the amounts in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Euros (EUR million) and are rounded according to established commercial principles. Therefore, recalculations may slightly differ from the totals shown in the respective tables.

Other

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to establish accounting policies that contain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. A significant change in the facts and circumstances on which these judgements, estimates and assumptions are based could materially affect the Telefónica Deutschland Group's net assets, financial position and result of operations.

During the three months ended 31 March 2017, management believes there have been no significant changes to the items that we disclosed within our critical accounting policies and estimates in Note 4, Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (Note 4, Accounting Policies).

The Group entered into a EUR 750 million revolving syndicated loan facility (revolving credit facility or RCF) on 22 March 2016. The maturity of this syndicated loan facility was extended for the first time in February 2017 by one year to March 2022 and includes the option to renew for one additonal year through March 2023. Due to the long-term nature of the committed line of credit, the relevant loans from the syndicated loan facility are included in non-current financial liabilities. As of 31 March 2017, EUR 50 million (31 December 2016: EUR 50 million) of the revolving credit facility were outstanding.

On 13 June 2016, the Telefónica Deutschland Group signed a EUR 450 million financial agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB). EUR 250 million of the facility with a fixed interest rate had been drawn as of 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 250 million). The funds are intended to finance the consolidation, modernisation and expansion of the Telefónica Deutschland Group's mobile network after the acquisition of the E-Plus Group. The funds already provided by the EIB are due by December 2024 and will be repaid annually in equal instalments of EUR 41.67 million starting in December 2019. The remaining credit facility may be drawn on via floating- or fixed-rate tranches. The interest rates of the fixed-rate tranches are determined according to the principles defined by the bodies of the European Investment Bank for loans of the same type.

Asset retirement obligations 397 48 400 57
Other provisions 36 9 35 5
Provisions 550 148 561 190

The Telefónica Deutschland Group's provisions have decreased from 31 December 2016, particularly due to lower pension obligations, lower restructuring obligations and lower asset retirement obligations. The change in restructuring obligations mainly results from the planned utilisation, while the reduction of the pension obligations and the asset retirement obligations is primarily attributable to the current interest rate trend.

7. Measurement Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The following tables summarise the fair value of all financial assets and financial liabilities of the Telefónica Deutschland Group in accordance with the measurement categories of IAS 39 and the requirements of IFRS 13.

As of 31 March 2017, the carrying amount of the financial assets and financial liabilities represented an appropriate approximation for the fair value (with the exception of the portion of the bonds that is not hedged – see below).

For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (see Note 10, Measurement Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities).

In addition, the tables show the classification of the financial assets and financial liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritises the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

  • Level 1: Primary market value: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
  • Level 2: Significant other observable input parameters: inputs observable, either directly or indirectly, which are subject to certain limitations;
  • Level 3: Significant unobservable input parameters: all unobservable inputs, which might include the entity's own data as a starting point and which should be adjusted if reasonably available information indicates that other market participants would use different data.

At 31 March 2017, EUR 11 million of the non-current financial assets and EUR 1 million of the current financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These relate to swap agreements in connection with the bonds.

In addition, EUR 23 million of the non-current financial assets are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. They relate to investments in start-ups and are classified as level 3, because reliable measurement using a market price is not possible. These entities generate start-up losses, and the existing business plans contain numerous unpredictable assumptions. Therefore, their fair value is determined based on IAS 39.46c at amortised cost. The increase of EUR 1 million relates only to investments in start-up companies as there were no gains or losses recognised in the current period.

All other financial assets as of 31 March 2017 are categorised as loans and receivables.

Please refer to the respective notes for further information. At 31 March 2017, EUR 359 million of the noncurrent interest-bearing debt is classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and relates to the fair value hedges of the bonds. The fair value hedges include one interest rate swap each.

The fair values of the bonds (non-current interest-bearing debt) are determined based on primary market values (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets).

The non-current and current trade and other payables are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Please refer to the respective notes for further information.
