EXMAR report 2025

5.2 Consolidated financial statements 199 Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis per currency as either other finance income or finance expense. m. Taxes Income tax expense consists of current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred tax is recognised in the profit or loss statement. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss of the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced when it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that is has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain conditions are met. Tonnage tax and withholding taxes due on service income from certain jurisdictions are not accounted for as income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 and are not presented as part of income tax expense in the profit or loss statement but are shown under other operating expenses unless the withholding taxes can be offset with the income taxes due. n. Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group 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 the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. The result for each segment includes all income and expenses generated directly by this segment, as well as part of the income and expenses that can reasonably be allocated to this segment. The assets and liabilities allocated to a segment include as a minimum the assets and liabilities which are periodically reported to the Chief operating decision maker, being the Group’s CEO and the Executive Committee. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. o. Emission allowances EXMAR owns and is mandated to manage vessels that fall in the scope of the European Union Emission Trading System. This results in incoming flows from its customers, settled by transfer of allowances based on the emissions of the vessel operated for the respective customers, on the one hand, and in outgoing transfers of allowances to the competent EU authority on the other hand. Environmental emission allowances, acquired for the purpose of settling emissions in the ordinary course of business, are classified as intangible assets. They are originally measured at cost. Allowances that will be retired within the next 12 months are classified as current intangible fixed assets and are included within other current assets. In case that allowances are acquired in cash, cash flow is classified as an investing cash flow. The obligation to deliver environmental emission allowances, which arises due to emissions in the operations of vessels as per European Union Emission Trading System regulations, is reported as a liability within accruals under Trade and other Payables. This liability is valued at the cost of the allowances obtained (the allowances at hand) and a provision is recognised for the difference between allowances to surrender and allowances at hand. The provision is measured at the fair value of allowances at the reporting date, being the best estimate of the expenditure required to obtain allowances not at hand at the reporting date. In the income statement only the net cost (representing the shortfall of allowances available to settle the obligation) is reported in other operating expenses.
