VALUATION RULES

WAARDERINGSREGELS

BOEKHOUDPRINCIPES EN WAARDERINGSREGELS

1.Oprichtingskosten en kosten van kapitaalverhoging

Voor zover ze niet in de resultatenrekening van het boekjaar zijn opgenomen, worden deze kosten op de actiefzijde van de balans geboekt voor het bedrag van de werkelijk gedragen of gemaakte kosten en uitgaven. In dit geval worden ze in maximaal 5 jaar afgeschreven. 2.Immateriële en materiële vaste activa

De vaste activa komen voor tegen historische kosten, verminderd met de samengestelde afschrijvingen, berekend over de geraamde economische levensduur van de betrokken activa, volgens de lineaire.

Onderzoekskosten: de onderzoekskosten worden geactiveerd en volledig afgeschreven gedurende het lopend boekjaar.

De kosten van ontwikkeling worden afgeschreven over een periode van 5 jaar.

Belastingkredieten voor onderzoek en ontwikkeling worden erkend onder andere bedrijfsopbrengsten op het moment van aangifte van de onderliggende dossiers. De opgebouwde vorderingen worden teruggenomen a rato het gebruik bij de belastingsaangifte.

De volgende levensduren worden gehanteerd:

IT software 5 tot 10

Terreinen niet afschrijfbaar Gebouwen

-Industriële gebouwen 20 behalve industriële complexen 15

-Andere gebouwen (kantoren, laboratoria, …) 40

-Infrastructuur werken, zoals wegen en spoorwegen 15

-Aanpassing en inrichting van de gebouwen 10

Installaties, machines en uitrusting 10

-behalve ovens 7

-behalve kleinere uitrusting 5

Meubilair en rollend materieel

-Informaticamaterieel 3 tot 5

-Meubilair en ander kantoormaterieel 5 tot 10

-Rollend materieel 5

-Mobiel materieel voor intern transport 7

Andere materiële vaste activa

-Huizen en woongebouwen 40

De aanschaffingen worden tegen kostprijs geboekt.

Vanaf boekjaar 2004 worden de intercalaire interesten niet meer in aanmerking genomen.

Herstellings- en onderhoudswerken worden in de resultatenrekening gedebiteerd.

3.Financiële vaste activa

De effecten van deelnemingen worden geboekt voor hun aanschaffingswaarde, rekening houdend met de eventueel nog te storten bedragen. Een specifieke waardevermindering wordt geboekt wanneer de evaluatie een duurzame minderwaarde aanwijst. 4.Voorraden

De voorraden worden gewaardeerd tegen historische kostprijs.

De verbruiks- en hulpgoederen worden geboekt tegen hun aankoopprijs, waarbij de afnemingen gebeuren tegen de gewogen gemiddelde prijs. Bij langzame omloop of buitengebruikstelling wordt een gepaste waardevermindering toegepast.

De metalen - grondstoffen, goederen in bewerking en gereed product - die het voorwerp zijn van een dekking, onder meer op de internationale metaalbeurzen, staan gewaardeerd als ingedekt element zoals toegelicht onder sectie transactionele risico's in de waarderingsregels.

De NCI (Non current inventory) "held to carry" wordt aanzien als dat ze een ongelimiteerde levensduur heeft gezien het de intentie is om deze materialen gedurende een ongedefinieerde periode te gebruiken. Dit betekent dat hier geen afschrijvingen op verricht worden. Rekening houdend dat de gebruikswaarde van de NCI's voornamelijk gerecupereerd zal worden door de gegenereerde cash flows van de businesses voor wie deze voorraden nodig zijn, hierbij worden ze onderdeel van Umicore's jaarlijkse impairment analyse toegepast door de businesses die deze voorraden gebruiken.

De NCI "held for sale" is gewaardeerd aan de "lower of the carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell (LOCOM)". In het zicht van de fysieke aspecten van deze NCI's en de gelieerde processen en systemen blijft hun classificatie onder voorraad.

De andere metalen die niet onder dat regime vallen, worden gewaardeerd volgens de methode van de gewogen gemiddelde prijzen op jaarbasis, rekening houdend met de specifieke aard van de bedrijvigheid en de moeilijkheden eigen aan de afneming van de voorraden. Op het einde van het boekjaar wordt de waarde van deze voorraden verminderd om de inventariswaarde terug te brengen tot de marktwaarde.

Deze waardeverminderingen worden systematisch teruggenomen wanneer de marktwaarde hoger is dan de voorheen geboekte boekwaarde.

De kostprijs van de gekochte producten omvat de netto-aanschaffingskosten en de bijkomende kosten. Voor gereed product en de goederen in bewerking wordt in de kostprijs, met de directe kosten, een deel van de indirecte productiekosten meegerekend.

5.Vorderingen en schulden

De vorderingen en schulden worden tegen hun nominale waarde geboekt. Als ze in vreemde valuta zijn opgesteld, worden ze voor hun tegenwaarde in EURO tegen de koers van de dag van de aanschaffing geboekt. Op het einde van het boekjaar worden ze gewaardeerd tegen de laatste wisselkoers van het boekjaar. Wat de vorderingen betreft zijn de regels van waardevermindering vergelijkbaar met die voor effecten.

6.Geldbeleggingen

Onder deze rubriek worden de vorderingen in termijnrekeningen op kredietinstellingen en aangeschafte effecten volgens de marktopportuniteiten of een tijdelijke wederbelegging van overtollige liquide middelen geboekt.

Ze worden gewaardeerd tegen hun aanschaffingswaarde of de beurswaarde voor genoteerde effecten en tegen de geraamde waarde voor niet genoteerde effecten, indien deze laatste waarde lager is dan de eerstgenoemde.

7.Voorzieningen

Bij de aanleg van voorzieningen worden, naast de wettelijke ook de feitelijke verplichtingen ("constructive obligation") in aanmerking genomen. Feitelijke verplichtingen ontstaan uit de handelingen van de onderneming waarbij:

-de onderneming aan andere partijen te kennen geeft, bepaalde verantwoordelijkheden te accepteren welke voortvloeien uit een patroon van in het verleden gevolgde gedragslijnen, gepubliceerde beleidsregels of een voldoende specifieke actuele verklaring -de onderneming als gevolg daarvan, bij die andere partijen een geldige verwachting heeft gewekt deze verantwoordelijkheden op te nemen.

De bedragen van de voorzieningen worden verdisconteerd.

Voorzieningen voor pensioenen

VALUATION RULES

De rustpensioenen die onder de verschillende verplichte pensioenregelingen verschuldigd zijn waaraan werkgevers en werknemers bijdragen, worden in het algemeen ten laste genomen door extern gespecialiseerde instellingen. De bijdragen die voor het boekjaar verschuldigd zijn, worden in het resultaat van die periode geboekt.

De aanvullende pensioenplannen die voor de betrokken ondernemingen verplichtingen scheppen, worden opgenomen in de voorzieningen die door actuariële methodes worden berekend op basis van de vermoedelijke vergoedingen op het einde van de loopbaan. 8.Financiële instrumenten

De onderneming gebruikt afgeleide financiële- en commoditeiteninstrumenten voornamelijk om de blootstelling aan negatieve schommelingen van wisselkoersen, metaalprijzen, rentevoeten en andere marktrisico's te beperken. De onderneming gebruikt voornamelijk contant- en termijncontracten om het metaal- en valutarisico in te dekken, en swapcontracten om het renterisico in te dekken. De transacties die verricht worden op de termijnmarkt zijn niet speculatief van aard. Transactionele risico's

De afgeleide financiële en commoditeiteninstrumenten die tot doel hebben de reële waarde van de onderliggende ingedekte elementen te beschermen, worden initieel opgenomen tegen de transactiewaarde. Zowel de instrumenten als de ingedekte elementen worden nadien gewaardeerd aan de reële waarde op de balansdatum. Alle winsten en verliezen op de ingedekte posities worden onmiddellijk opgenomen in de resultatenrekening als bedrijfsresultaat, als ze betrekking hebben op basisproducten en als financiële resultaten als ze betrekking hebben op valuta's en rente. Op de niet-ingedekte posities worden enkel de verliezen opgenomen. Het principe van de marktwaardevergelijking is het berekenen van het verschil tussen de transactiekoers en de slotkoers, contant ten opzichte van contant of termijn ten opzichte van termijn, afhankelijk van de gebruikte transactiekoers.

Structurele risico's

Afgeleide financiële en commoditeiteninstrumenten die tot doel hebben toekomstige kasstromen te beschermen, worden niet opgenomen in het bedrijfsresultaat zolang de onderliggende kasstroom niet erkend is. Er worden geen marktwaarde-vergelijkings mechanismen toegepast -

OTHER INFORMATION TO DISCLOSE

Begin 2020 heeft het Federaal Agentschap voor Nucleaire Controle (FANC) richtlijnen uitgevaardigd voor de definitieve sanering en opslag van historisch radioactief materiaal gerelateerd aan Umicore's site in Olen (België). Er zijn gezamenlijke werkgroepen opgericht met overheidsinstellingen zoals NIRAS, OVAM en het FANC en Umicore om een plan op te stellen met de verschillende stappen die moeten worden genomen om tot een oplossing voor definitieve opslag te komen. De gezamenlijke werkgroepen zullen updates geven over de geschatte toekomstige sanerings- en opslagkosten en de specifieke bestaande milieuvoorzieningen. De voorziening zal worden aangepast op basis van veranderende omstandigheden en inzichten die worden verworven gedurende het project. Momenteel wordt verwacht dat het ontwikkelen en implementeren van dit uitvoerige stappenplan meerdere jaren in beslag zal nemen. Ondertussen zal Umicore de situatie blijven monitoren om te garanderen dat het afval geen risico vormt voor de werknemers op de site of voor de omwonende bevolking
