(w) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Board, who is considered
to be HEINEKEN's chief operating decision maker. An operating segment is a component of HEINEKEN that engages in business
activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any
of HEINEKEN's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Executive Board to make
decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information
is available.
Inter-segment transfers or transactions are entered into under the normal commercial terms and conditions that would also be
available to unrelated third parties.
Segment results, assets and liabilities that are reported to the Executive Board include items directly attributable to a segment
as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated result items comprise net finance expenses and income
tax expenses. Unallocated assets comprise current other investments and cash call deposits.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire P, P& E, and intangible assets other than goodwill.
(x) Emission rights
Emission rights are related to the emission of C02, which relates to the production of energy. These rights are freely tradable. Bought
emission rights and liabilities due to production of C02 are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Emission
rights received for free are also recorded at cost, i.e. with a zero value.
(y) Recently issued IFRS
New relevant standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January
2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the
Company are set out below, however HEINEKEN does not expect these changes to have a significant effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
IFRS 9 (2009) Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under
IFRS 9 (2009), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics
of their contractual cash flows. In November 2013 the IASB concluded the project phase in relation to hedge accounting. The last
phase of the project to replace IAS 39, about impairment of financial assets is ongoing and an effective date for applicability
of IFRS 9 will only be determined by the IASB when concluding on the entire project. Early adoption is allowed. HEINEKEN is in the
process of evaluating the impact of the implementation of the new standard.
