Accounting estimates
The different methods applied by HEINEKEN to determine the fair value require the use of estimates.
Investments in equity securities
The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and fair value through OCI is determined
by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date or, if unquoted, determined using an
appropriate valuation technique. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data
where available.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed
market price is not available, fair value is in general estimated by discounting the difference between
the cash flows based on contractual price and the cash flows based on current price for the residual
maturity of the contact using observable interest yield curves, basis spread and foreign exchange rates.
These calculations are tested for reasonableness by comparing the outcome of the internal valuation
with the valuation received from the counterparty. Fair values include the instrument's credit risk and
adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the HEINEKEN entity and counterparty when appropriate.
Non-derivative financial instruments
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes or when fair value hedge accounting is applied, is
calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market
rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair values include the instrument's credit risk and adjustments to take
account of the credit risk of the HEINEKEN entity and counterparty when appropriate.
