Credit risk<br />

Credit risk is defined as the risk that the counterparty in a transaction<br />

will not fulfil its contractual commitments and that any collateral will not<br />

cover the company’s claim.<br />

An overwhelming share of the credit risk for <strong>Scania</strong> is related to<br />

receivables from customers. <strong>Scania</strong> sales are distributed among a large<br />

number of end customers with a large geographic dispersion, which<br />

limits the concentration of credit risk.<br />

The credit portfolio including operating leases in Customer Finance<br />

operations amounted to SEK 26,596 m. (25,926). To maintain a controlled<br />

level of credit risk in the Customer Finance segment, the process of<br />

issuing credit is supported by a credit policy as well as credit instructions.<br />

Credit risks are managed by active credit monitoring and administration<br />

of customers who do not follow the agreed payment plan. Collateral in<br />

Customer Finance operations mainly exists in the form of the products<br />

being financed. Provisions for bad debts from customers are based on<br />

an individual assessment of each customer, based on the customer’s<br />

payment capacity, expected future risk and the value of the underlying<br />

collateral. Provisions for credit losses amounted to 1.9 (1.8) percent of<br />

the total Customer Finance portfolio.<br />

In the Vehicles and Service segment, receivables from customers totalled<br />

SEK 8,648 m. (7,499), most of which consisted of receivables from<br />

independent dealerships and end customers.<br />

The administration of the financial credit risks that arise primarily in<br />

corporate treasury operations, among other things when investing liquidity<br />

and in derivatives trading, is regulated in <strong>Scania</strong>’s financial policy.<br />

Transactions occur only within established limits and with selected,<br />

creditworthy counterparties. “Creditworthy counterparty” means that the<br />

counterparty has received an approved credit rating from Standard and<br />

Poor’s and/or Moody’s. To reduce credit risk, the volume of exposure<br />

allowed per counterparty is limited, depending on the counterparty’s<br />

credit rating. To further limit credit risk, <strong>Scania</strong> has entered into netting<br />

contracts (ISDA) with most of its counterparties. Overall counterparty<br />

exposure related to derivatives trading, calculated as a net receivable<br />

per counterparty, amounted to SEK 855 m. as per 31 December <strong>2004</strong>.<br />

Estimated gross exposure to counterparty risks related to derivatives<br />

trading totalled SEK 1,246 m. At the end of <strong>2004</strong>, gross exposure to<br />

liquid investments amounted to SEK 2,498 m. (1,916).<br />

Refinancing risk<br />

Refinancing risk is the risk of not being able to meet the need for future<br />

funding. To ensure access to funding, <strong>Scania</strong> applies a conservative<br />

policy which prescribes that there should be a liquidity reserve, consisting<br />

of available liquid assets and unutilised credit facilities, that exceeds<br />

its funding needs for the next 1– 2 years.<br />

At the beginning of <strong>2004</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong> had committed revolving credit<br />

facilities totalling USD 1,850 m. from the international banking market,<br />

with USD 1,000 m. expiring in May 2008 and the remaining USD 850<br />

m. expiring in November <strong>2004</strong>. In July <strong>2004</strong>, the USD 850 m. facility<br />

was replaced by a new facility totalling EUR 500 m. with an expiration<br />

date of July 2009. At year-end <strong>2004</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong> had committed revolving<br />

credit facilities totalling USD 1,000 m. and EUR 500 m. in the international<br />

banking market, equivalent to SEK 11,116 m. translated at the<br />

closing day rate.<br />

In addition to its committed revolving credit facilities, <strong>Scania</strong> has<br />

capital market programmes of more than SEK 41 billion (36) translated<br />

at the closing day rate. Of this, more than SEK 19 billion (18) was being<br />

utilised at year-end.<br />

Under <strong>Scania</strong>’s Medium Term Note programme, borrowing may<br />

occur in maturities of between 1 and 10 years. At year-end <strong>2004</strong>, the<br />

ceiling was SEK 13,000 m.<br />

During <strong>2004</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong> issued a bond equivalent to SEK 180 m. At<br />

year-end, the total amount outstanding was SEK 7,354 m. Under its<br />

European Medium Term Note Programme, <strong>Scania</strong> can borrow in the<br />

international financial market, with maturities between 1 and 10 years.<br />

The ceiling at year-end was EUR 2,000 m., which was equivalent to<br />

SEK 18,014 m. translated at the closing day rate.<br />

During <strong>2004</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong> issued a bond equivalent to SEK 1,351 m. At<br />

year-end, the total amount outstanding was equivalent to SEK 11,504 m.<br />

<strong>Scania</strong> also has short-term borrowing facilities in the form of<br />

commercial paper programmes in Sweden and Belgium, totalling SEK<br />

6,000 m. and EUR 400 m., respectively. At year-end, neither of these<br />

programmes was being utilised.<br />

In addition to the above programmes, <strong>Scania</strong> has issued other<br />

bonds totalling SEK 1,813 m. The company also has bank loans with<br />

varying maturities, totalling SEK 4,942 m.<br />

facility.<br />

<strong>Scania</strong>’s liquidity reserve at the close of <strong>2004</strong>, consisting of unutilised<br />

credit facilities and liquid assets, amounted to SEK 13,614 m. (15,375).<br />

Aside from safeguarding access to credit facilities, <strong>Scania</strong> controls its<br />

refinancing risk by diversifying the maturity structure of its borrowing<br />

portfolio. At year-end, <strong>Scania</strong>’s total borrowing had the following maturity<br />

structure:<br />

Fair value of financial instruments<br />

The carrying amounts of interest-bearing assets and liabilities in the<br />

balance sheet may deviate from their fair value, among other things as<br />

a consequence of changes in market interest rates.<br />

There is also a fair value for items that are not <strong>report</strong>ed in the balance<br />

sheet, such as hedging instruments that do not correspond to net<br />

assets in the balance sheet and that meet the requirements for hedge<br />

accounting. To establish the fair value of financial assets and liabilities,<br />

official market quotations have been used for those assets and liabilities<br />

that are traded in an active market.<br />

In those cases where market quotations do not exist, fair value has<br />

been established by discounting future payment flows at current market<br />

interest rates and exchange rates for similar instruments. Fair value of<br />

financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable<br />

and other non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities that are<br />

recognised at acquisition value, minus any write-downs, is regarded as<br />
