 concluded that it has a negative credit impairment.

The Company assesses the credit impairment of its receivables as of each reporting date. A financial asset has credit impairment when one or more events have a negative impact on the expected cash flows from it. Evidence of credit impairment for a debtor is as follows:

- Significant financial hardship

- Breach of contract due to default

- Probability of going bankrupt

The Company applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using the lifetime expected loss on all trade receivables. Expected credit losses are measured by grouping receivables by their shared credit risk characteristics and days overdue.

The Company has concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for these assets. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles and historical credit losses within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current expectations and information regarding macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of customers to meet their commitments. Impairment losses on accounts receivable and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses under “Impairment of financial assets and reversal of impairment losses,” see Note 22.7. Any subsequent recoveries of financial assets previously charged off are credited to the same line.

### Financial liabilities
Management accounts for its financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures its financial liabilities by their fair value less the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability. The Company subsequently measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are: (i) commercial accounts payable, (ii) other accounts payable and (iii) other financial liabilities.

Amortized cost is based using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by considering any premium or discount on the acquisition and includes transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
