Trade receivables disclosed in the table above are net of contract liabilities related to discounts and trade marketing expenses of €222.2 million.
Loans and borrowings includes €94.1 million relating to lease liabilities.
The Company has determined that the carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables and cash and cash equivalents are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Derivative financial instruments
The financial instruments are not traded in an active market and so the fair value of these instruments is determined from the implied forward rate. The valuation technique utilized by the Company maximizes the use of observable market data where it is available. All significant inputs required to fair value the instrument are observable. The Company has classified its derivative financial instruments as level 2 instruments as defined in IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement”.
Interest bearing loans and borrowings
The fair value of the senior secured notes is determined by reference to price quotations in the active market in which they are traded. They are classified as level 1 instruments. The fair value of the senior loans is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the period end’s prevailing interest rates. They are classified as level 2 instruments. There is no requirement to determine or disclose the fair value of lease liabilities.
Syndicated loans includes the Senior U.S. Dollar debt of $686.1 million (€582.1 million) (the “Senior USD Loan”) and Senior EUR debt of €130.0 million (a "Senior EUR Loan") both repayable on November 10, 2029, as well as the Senior EUR debt of €553.2 million (a "Senior EUR Loan") repayable in June 2028. The Senior USD Loan includes an annual amortization repayment, equivalent to 1.0% of the outstanding loan value post the last repricing or $6.9 million (€5.9 million) in October each year until maturity. The Senior EUR Loan is repayable only upon maturity. As required under the Senior Facilities Agreement, the Company is also required to undertake an annual excess cash flow calculation whereby additional principal could be repaid.
On February 2, 2024, the Company completed on the repricing of its existing Senior EUR Loan of €130.0 million principal due 2029. Following the closing, the margin on the Senior EUR Loan was reduced by 75 basis points to EURIBOR plus 2.75%. There are no changes to the maturity of the Term Loan as a result of this repricing. The repricing represents a modification of a financial liability, such that a net modification gain of €4.1 million has been recognized, representing the difference between the remaining original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows, both discounted at the original effective interest rate. On April 10, 2024, our interest rate swaps were amended to align more closely with the amended cash flows of our EUR term loan following the repricing.
On May 7, 2024, the Company completed on the repricing of its existing Senior USD Loan of $686.1 million principal due 2029, subject to customary closing conditions. Following the closing, the margin on the Senior USD Loan was reduced by 50 basis points to SOFR plus 2.5% effective from May 7, 2024. There are no changes to the maturity of the Senior USD Loan as a result of this repricing. The repricing represents a modification of a financial liability, such that a net modification gain of €10.3 million has been recognized, representing the difference between the remaining original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows, both discounted at the original effective interest rate. Eligible transaction costs associated with the modification of €1.8 million were added to the loan carrying amount and amortized over the remaining loan term. Cross currency interest rate swaps were also amended to align more closely with this change, also taking effect on May 7, 2024.
The Senior Loans, Senior Secured Notes and any drawn balances of the Revolving Credit Facility are secured with equal ranking against assets of the Company and specified subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility will expire on June 24, 2026. The Company expects to be able to renew the facility.
