This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided – in addition to the financial statements and their accompanying notes – also in other parts of the interim report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with RFR 2 – Accounting for Legal Entities, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. New or revised IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) have not had any material effect on the Group's or Parent Company's reporting during the period.
In accordance with IFRS 13, financial instruments are carried at fair value based on a 3-level hierarchy. The classification is based on the input data used in the valuation of the instruments. Instruments in Level 1 are valued at quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market. Instruments in Level 2 are valued in a valuation model which uses input data that is directly or indirectly observable in the market. Input data used in the valuation model in Level 2 includes interest rates, volatility, and dividend estimates. Instruments in Level 3 are valued using a valuation technique based on input data that is not observable in a market. The valuation technique that is used for the financial instruments in Level 3 is based on net assets in the respective subsidiaries measured at fair value. No changes between the levels occurred compared with the preceding year.
