The Group's and Parent Company's business risks, risk management and management of financial risks are described in detail in the 2016 Annual Report. No significant events occurred during the year that affected or changed these descriptions of the Group's or the Parent Company's risks and their management.
This year-end report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Reporting for Legal Entities. The accounting and measurement policies, as well as the assessment bases, applied in the 2016 Annual Report have also been applied in this year-end report. No new or revised IFRSs that entered into force in 2017 have had any significant impact on the Group's financial reports.
IFRS 9 - Financial instruments
IFRS 9 includes accounting for financial assets and liabilities and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 have other measurement categories for financial assets and a new model for impairment testing. The classification and measurement of financial liabilities is essentially unchanged. IFRS 9 comes into force for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2018 or later. The new model for calculating credit loss reserves is based on expected credit losses. The introduction of the standard will not have a significant effect on the company's financial statements as the Group has historically had few credit losses. IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 replaces all previously published standards and interpretations that handle revenue with a single revenue recognition model. IFRS 15 comes into force for fiscal years commencing January 1, 2018 or later. A company can choose between "full retrospective" or a forward-looking application with additional information "modified retrospective". The Group will choose modified retrospective application. The Group has evaluated the effects of IFRS 15 and the conclusion is that this will not have any material impact on the consolidated income statement.
Implementation of the standard will mean that almost all leases will be recognised in the balance sheet, as a distinction between operating and finance leases no longer exist. According to the new standard, an asset (the right to use a leased asset) and a financial commitment to pay leasing fees shall be recognised. Contracts of short duration and contracts of less value are excluded. The standard is to apply for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019 or later. The standard will affect the Group's financial reporting.
New ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines on alternative performance measures are effective from 2016. HEXPOL presents financial definitions and reconciliations of alternative performance measures in this report. HEXPOL presents alternative performance measures as these provide valuable additional information to investors and the company's management as they allow evaluation of the company's performance.
