Impairment testing for CGUs containing goodwill

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than the Group’s operating segment.

The allocation of goodwill to the CGUs is as follows:

The recoverable amount of these CGUs was based on its value in use and was determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGUs. These calculations use cash flow projections over a period of five years, based on next year financial budgets approved by management, with extrapolation for the remaining period, and an average of the range of assumptions as mentioned below.

 

The key assumptions used in the estimation of value are set out as below. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on the historical data from both external and internal sources.

* EBITDA margin is defined as Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a percentage of Adjusted margin.

 

The above pre-tax discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of comparable market participant, which is adjusted for specific risks.

 

These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.

 

The cash flow projections included specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate, Adjusted margin growth rate and EBITDA margins were determined based on management's estimate. Budgeted EBITDA margin was based on expectations of future outcomes taking into account past experience, adjusted for anticipated Adjusted margin growth. Adjusted margin growth was projected taking into account the average growth levels experienced in past and the estimated adjusted margin growth for future. The estimation of value in use reflects various assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including key assumptions regarding expected growth rates and EBITDA margin, as well as other key assumptions with respect to matters outside of the Group's control. It requires significant judgments and estimates, and actual results could be materially different than the judgments and estimates used to estimate value in use.

Based on the above, no impairment was identified as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value. No reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying amount of these CGUs to exceed their recoverable amount.
