Measurement of financial instruments by categories in accordance with IFRS 9

Based on the relevant balance sheet item of financial instruments, the following table shows an allocation of the balance sheet items to the classification by categories in accordance with IFRS 9. In addition, a fair value measurement hierarchy was introduced for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13. Level 1 contains all financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 contains all financial instruments with inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 contains all financial instruments with inputs for determining the assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

There was no change to Geberit’s classification or measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as a result of the early adoption of IFRS 9. Only the descriptions of the categories were changed in accordance with IFRS 9.
