(iii) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by Heineken from
a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is
measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected
net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, Heineken recognises any impairment
loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(0) Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans and
borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using
the effective interest method. Loans and borrowings included in a fair value hedge are stated at fair value in
respect of the risk being hedged.
Loans and borrowings for which the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, are classified as non-current liabilities.
