(*1)
Allocated to the cash-generating unit that will benefit from the synergy effect of the business combination, and the cash-generating unit is generally comprised of the operating segment or
sub-sectors.
(*2)
The Group has acquired Saudara Bank to expand retail sales in Indonesia, and recognized the goodwill as it is expected to strengthen the competitiveness by securing a local sales network in Indonesia.
(*3)
The Group has acquired VisionFund Cambodia to expand retail sales in Cambodia, and recognized goodwill based on the economies of scale and acquired customer base.
(*4)
The Company acquired PT Batavia Prosperindo Finance Tbk to expand its installment financing operations in Indonesia. Goodwill was recognized due to the anticipated enhancement of competitiveness through securing a network in the Indonesian used car market and strengthening existing customer relationships.
2)
Impairment test
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is measured at larger amount between the fair value less costs to sell and the value to use.
The net fair value is calculated by deducting costs of disposal from the amount received from the sale of the cash-generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between the parties with reasonable judgment and willingness to negotiate. In case of difficulty in measuring this amount, the sale amount of a similar cash-generating unit in the past market is calculated by reflecting the characteristics of the cash-generating unit. If reliable information related to fair value less costs to sell is not available, value in use is considered as recoverable amount. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the cash-generating unit. Future cash flows are estimated based on the latest financial budget approved by the management, with an estimated period of up to five years. The Group applied 1.0% growth rate to estimate future cash flow for the period over five years. The main assumptions used to estimate cash flows are about the size of the market and the share of the group. The appropriate discount rate for discounting future cash flows is the pre-tax discount rate, including assumptions about risk-free interest rates, market risk premium, and systemic risk of cash-generating units. The impairment test, which compares the carrying amount and recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated, is conducted every year and every time an impairment sign occurs.
