Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting<br />

Hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 is used to hedge foreign<br />

currency risks of firm commitments, future receivables and liabilities<br />

denominated in foreign currency, commodity price risks arising from<br />

sales and purchase transactions, and interest rate risks from noncurrent<br />

financings.<br />

Cash flow hedges<br />

Cash flow hedges are mainly used to hedge future cash flows against<br />

foreign currency and commodity price risks arising from future sales<br />

and purchase transactions as well as interest rate risks from noncurrent<br />

liabilities. These derivatives are measured at fair value, divided<br />

into an effective and ineffective portion. Until realization of the hedged<br />

underlying transaction, the effective portion of fluctuations in fair value<br />

of these derivatives is recognized directly in equity in the cumulative<br />

other comprehensive income position, while the ineffective portion is<br />

recognized in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in<br />

equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period during which<br />

the future underlying transactions (hedged items) affect profit or loss.<br />

As of 30 September 2011, hedging instruments with positive fair value<br />

totaled €82 million (2010: €150 million) and those with negative fair<br />

value totaled €96 million (2010: €66 million). For the 2010/2011 fiscal<br />

year, €1 million (2009/2010: €97 million) (before tax) in unrealized<br />

gains or losses have been recognized directly in equity in the<br />

cumulative other comprehensive income position. Cash flows from<br />

future transactions are currently hedged for a maximum of 60 months.<br />

During the current fiscal year, €(2) million (2010: €(6) million) of<br />

cumulative other comprehensive income were reclassified to sales in<br />

profit or loss as a result of the underlying transactions being realized<br />

during the year. €(0.4) million (2010: 0) thereof are included in<br />

discontinued operations. In addition, €74 million (2010: €102 million),<br />

thereof €4 million (2010: €2 million) in discontinued operations, of<br />

cumulative other comprehensive income were reclassified to decrease<br />

cost of inventories, as the hedged commodities were recognized,<br />

although the underlying transaction had not yet been taken to profit or<br />

loss. This resulted in decreased expenses of €93 million, thereof €5<br />

million in discontinued operations, in 2010/2011 an expense of €19<br />

million, thereof €1 million in discontinued operations, of that<br />

reclassified amount is expected to impact earnings in the subsequent<br />

fiscal year. Furthermore, €5 million (2010: €121 million) of cumulative<br />

other comprehensive income were reclassified and decreased (2010:<br />

increased) cost of property, plant and equipment. Thereof expenses of<br />

€0.2 million impacted earnings in 2010/2011. In addition, €0.2 million<br />

of that reclassified amount is expected to impact earnings in<br />

2011/2012, €4.4 million in subsequent fiscal years.<br />

As of September 30, 2011, net income from the ineffective portions of<br />

derivatives classified as cash flow hedges totaled €(23) million<br />

(2009/2010: €11 million).<br />

The cancellation of cash flow hedges during the current fiscal year<br />

resulted in earnings of 0 (2009/2010: €(4) million) due to<br />

reclassification from cumulative other comprehensive income. These<br />

fluctuations in fair value of derivatives originally recognized in equity<br />

were reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged underlying<br />

transaction was no longer probable to occur.<br />

In the subsequent fiscal year fluctuations in fair value of derivatives<br />

included in cumulative other comprehensive income as of the reporting<br />

date is expected to impact earnings by income of €72 million. During<br />

the 2012/2013 fiscal year, earnings are expected to be impacted by<br />

income of €2 million, during the 2013/2014 fiscal year by expenses of<br />

€8 million and during the following fiscal years by expenses of €50<br />

million.<br />

Fair value hedges<br />

Fair value hedges are mainly used to hedge the exposure to changes in<br />

fair value of a firm commitment and exposure to inventory price risks<br />

as well as to hedge interest rate risks. These commodity and interest<br />

rate derivatives are measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of<br />

the corresponding underlying transactions are adjusted for the change<br />

of the fair values of the hedged risks. As of September 30, 2011,<br />

hedging instruments with positive fair value totalled 0 (2010: €4<br />

million) and those with negative fair value totalled 0 (2010: €1 million).<br />

Fluctuations in fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss<br />

under sales, cost of sales or financial income/(expense), net,<br />

depending on the type of underlying transaction. During the fiscal year,<br />

income/(expense), net from the measurement of fair value hedging<br />

instruments totalled €1 million (2009/2010: 0), while<br />

income/(expense), net from the corresponding underlying transactions<br />

during the same period amounted to €(1) million (2009/2010: 0).
