Accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Leasehold improvements include costs incurred to enhance and expand offices, own retail stores and showrooms.

Depreciation is primarily calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the individual assets or asset categories:
Leasehold improvements: 3 to 8 years (or the lease term, whichever is shorter)
Trade tools (e.g. point-of-sale): 3 years
Production equipment (e.g. molds at the factory sites and machines): 2 years
Furniture and fixtures: 5 to 8 years
Other: 3 to 8 years

For certain production equipment related to Lightspray, depreciation is calculated using the units of production method.

At each reporting date, the residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted prospectively, if applicable. Furthermore, On assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less cost of disposal or value in use) of the individual asset is determined. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is included in the income statement.
