Other hedging measures – foreign currency risk<br />

The HORNBACH-<strong>Baumarkt</strong>-<strong>AG</strong> <strong>Group</strong> also deploys hedging measures which do not meet the hedge accounting<br />

requirements set out in IAS 39, but which nevertheless make an effective contribution towards hedging the<br />

<strong>Group</strong>’s financial risks in line its risk management principles. For example, the HORNBACH-<strong>Baumarkt</strong>-<strong>AG</strong><br />

<strong>Group</strong> hedges the foreign currency risks involved in select (planned) transactions, including the embedded<br />

foreign currency derivatives potentially resulting from the transactions, such as those involved in the purchase<br />

of merchandise in the Far East using US dollars, by working with forward exchange transactions or by<br />

making fixed deposit investments denominated in foreign currencies in the form of macro hedges.<br />

The fair value of forward exchange transactions, including the embedded forward exchange transactions,<br />

amounted to € -81k at February 28, 2013 (2011/2012: € -366k). Of this sum, € 226k (2011/2012: € 368k)<br />

has been recognized under financial debt and € 146k (2011/2012: € 2k) under other assets.<br />

No fair value hedges or net investment in a foreign operation hedges have been undertaken to date.<br />

As all interest swaps are included in effective hedging relationships, the changes in their value, less deferred<br />

taxes, have basically been recognized in the hedging reserve within equity. The ineffective portion is recognized<br />

through profit or loss under net financial expenses:
