Consolidated <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong> in accordance with IFRSs<br />

A – Accounting policies (CoNTINuED)<br />

Calculation <strong>of</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> equity<br />

The expected cash flows are discounted at the country-specific rate <strong>of</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> capital, which is determined on the basis <strong>of</strong> the long-term risk-free<br />

interest rate <strong>of</strong> the local currency, the debt risk premium and the UniCredit equity risk premium.<br />

• risk-free rate: Calculation is based on the historical average (6 years) <strong>of</strong> the 5-year swap rate in local currency. If no swap rate was available, the<br />

most liquid and comparable interbank rate (with a 3-month tenor) was used.<br />

• risk premium for debt: This is the country risk premium calculated as the historical average (6 years) <strong>of</strong> the 5-year credit default swap paid by the<br />

country (given the lack <strong>of</strong> time series in certain countries we considered a shorter time period or the asset swap spread <strong>of</strong> a benchmark government<br />

bond).<br />

• risk premium for equity: This is calculated using the option pricing model and is based on the historical volatility <strong>of</strong> the UniCredit share price.<br />

• terminal value cost <strong>of</strong> equity: The terminal value cost <strong>of</strong> equity <strong>of</strong> CGUs in the euro area was set at 10%. For CGUs which will join the euro area<br />

by 2018, the rate is 10.35%. The terminal value cost <strong>of</strong> equity for all other CGUs was set at 11.85%. Exceptions are Kazakhstan and Ukraine,<br />

where the terminal value cost <strong>of</strong> equity was set at 12%.<br />

It should also be noted that the parameters and the information used to test goodwill impairment are significantly influenced by the macroeconomic<br />

environment and market conditions, which can be subject to rapid unforeseeable changes, possibly leading to very different results as compared to<br />

those used for the <strong>2011</strong> consolidated financial statements.<br />

A sensitivity analysis was carried out for selected CEE CGUs (see table below; for CEE CGUs not included in the table, the results <strong>of</strong> the sensitivity<br />

analysis are not significant because there is no goodwill). This involved changing the cost <strong>of</strong> equity or the terminal value growth rate so that the fair<br />

value <strong>of</strong> the CGU equals the respective carrying amount.<br />

2) In view <strong>of</strong> the high pr<strong>of</strong>itability, the results <strong>of</strong> the sensitivity analysis are not significant.<br />
