Measurement of fair values
Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
Level 1 fair value was determined based on the actual trading of the unsecured notes, due in 2026, and the trading price on June 30, 2026. The following tables show
the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
Type
Valuation Techniques
Significant unobservable inputs
Forward exchange contracts
Forward pricing: the fair value is determined using quoted forward
exchange rates at the reporting date and present value calculations based
on high credit quality yield curve in the respective currencies.
Not applicable
Financial instruments measured at fair value
Interest rate swaps
Swap models: the fair value is calculated as the present value of the
estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating-rate cash flows
are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing
rates.
Not applicable
Commodity derivatives
Fair value is determined based on the present value of the quoted forward
price.
Not applicable
Equity investments
The valuation is based on either the multiple approach or the net asset
value, depending on the investee's industry characteristics and the nature
of its operations
EBITDA multiple; Discount for lack of

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far
as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The sources of financing are diversified and the bulk of the loans are irrevocable, long-term and maturities are
spread over different years.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

The Group has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the
above table. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the debt agreements.
The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as
market interest rates change. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at
significantly different amounts than stated above.
