Defined benefit pension plans Plan benefits depend on salary and length of service. The defined benefit obligations are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the term of the related pension liability. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The cost of providing pensions is charged to the income statement as employee costs so as to spread the cost over the service lives of employees. Changes in actuarial assumptions and actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs and gains or losses on settlement are recognised immediately in income when they occur. Defined contribution plans For defined contribution plans, contributions are paid to pension insurance companies. Once the contributions have been paid, there are no further payment obligations. Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which the contributions relate. Other post-employment obligations Some group companies provide post-employment medical and other benefits to their retirees. The entitlement to healthcare benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment, using an accounting methodology similar to that for defined benefit pension plans. Valuations of these obligations are carried out by independent qualified actuaries.

Capital expenditure Capital expenditure, excluding acquisitions and shares, amounted to EUR 1,399 million (1,477 million) in 2022. In December 2021, UPM announced that it would invest EUR 10 million in the development of UPM Plywood's plywood mill in Joensuu, Finland. The investment includes new production lines, new workspaces and 720 square metres of completely new production space. The investment will be completed by the end of 2023. In January 2020, UPM announced that it would invest in a 220,000 tonnes next-generation biochemicals biorefinery in Leuna, Germany. The facility is scheduled to start up by the end of 2023, and the total investment estimate is EUR 750 million. In January 2019 UPM announced that it would invest in the refurbishment of the Kuusankoski hydropower plant in Finland. The average annual production of the Kuusankoski plant is expected to increase from the current 180 GWh to 195 GWh. The investment will be completed in Q1 2023. In July 2019, UPM announced that it would invest in a 2.1 million tonne greenfield eucalyptus pulp mill near Paso de los Toros, central Uruguay. Additionally, UPM will invest in port operations in Montevideo and in local investments outside the mill fence. The mill is scheduled to start up by the end of Q1 2023, and the total investment estimate is USD 3.47 billion.
In October 2019 UPM announced that it would invest EUR 95 million in a Combined-Heat-Power (CHP) plant at the UPM Nordland paper mill in Germany. The plant was connected to the grid in Q3 2022. Capitalised borrowing costs In 2022, the borrowing costs capitalised as part of non-current assets amounted to EUR 20 million (9 million). Amortisation of capitalised borrowing costs was EUR 1 million (2 million) and the average interest rate used 0.79% (0.73%), which represents the average costs to finance the projects. In 2022, capitalised borrowing costs were mainly related to the construction of the new pulp mill in Uruguay. Government grants In 2022, government grants recognised as deduction of non-current assets totalled to EUR 15 million (0 million). Grants relate mainly to the biochemicals biorefinery investment in Leuna.
