IFRIC 23 explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and the calculation of the group’s tax expense and income tax liabilities involves a degree of estimation and judgement. Tax balances reflect the current understanding and interpretation of existing tax laws and the latest information available about the positions expected to be taken by tax authorities. Tax matters at UPM are managed by UPM’s own tax function, which is complemented by third-party tax services in order to comply with local tax reporting, filings and other duties. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect of situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and adjusts income tax liabilities where appropriate using the most likely amount expected to be paid. The group applied IFRIC 23 retrospectively without adjusting comparative information. At the end of 2018, the group has reviewed its uncertain tax positions and concluded that there are appropriate tax liabilities recognised for periods which are open for reviews and audits by tax authorities. Thus, the adoption of IFRIC 23 on 1 January 2019 did not have any impact on the group’s financial statement on transition. On 1 January 2019, UPM has changed its accounting policy relating to forest assets by capitalising forestry renewal costs on the balance sheet during the growth cycle and reclassifying forest assets-related cash flows from operating cash flow to investing cash flow. Previously UPM has recognised forestry renewal costs in income statement and reported forest assets-related cash flows, including forest renewal costs, forest asset purchases and sales, in operating cash flow. UPM has consistently increased the weight of the Southern hemisphere plantations in its forest asset portfolio, where the growth cycle is significantly shorter and significance of forestry renewal cost substantially higher compared to the Northern hemisphere. Majority of UPM’s forest renewal costs are related to Southern hemisphere plantations. Thus, the change of accounting policy results in more relevant information on group’s financial performance and cash flows. The change has an impact on the following key figures in UPM group, UPM Biorefining and Other operations: EBITDA, EBITDA margin, operating and investing cash flows, operating cash flow per share and net debt to EBITDA ratio. Operating profit, comparable EBIT and balance sheet are not affected. The comparative years have been restated according to the new reporting principles.

The group has elected to early adopt the Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform issued in September 2019. In accordance with the transition provision, the amendments have been adopted retrospectively to hedging relationships that existed at the start of the reporting period or where designated thereafter. The amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships directly affected by IBOR reform. The reliefs have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement. Furthermore, the amendments set out triggers for when the reliefs will end, which include the uncertainty arising from interests rate benchmark reform no longer being present. The Group’s risk exposure that is directly affected by the IBOR reform is fair value hedge accounting of long-term fixed-rate debt for changes in fair value attributable to USD LIBOR which is the current benchmark interest rate. Group currently has only few contracts which reference USD LIBOR and extend beyond 2021. Group Treasury oversees the Group’s IBOR transition and follows changes to ISDA and other market guidelines on effects of these changes to UPM’s contracts. In fair value hedging relationships, fair value for both the hedged item and hedging instrument is calculated with identical rate. Therefore no ineffectiveness is expected.
