Individual Risk adjustments According to IFRS, asset/investment specific risks can either be captured by i) an additional risk premium in the discount rate or ii) in the projected future cash flow assumptions The Sandvik Group applies the second option, meaning that all asset/investment specific risks are to be carefully assessed and that the projected future cash flows assumptions must be altered to reflect those identified risks (e.g. country risk, industry risk, etc.) As a consequence, the Sandvik Group can apply one common, company wide, pre-tax WACC for all asset/investment evaluations, regardless of location and asset/investment type For more information regarding risk assessment, please see the procedures below Sandvik Investment and Lease Policy and Procedures (investment evaluations) Financial Reporting Policies and Procedures (impairment tests) Sandvik M&A Policy and Procedures (M&A projects) One exception is the risk adjusted post-tax WACC, only applicable to M&A projects, that includes an additional risk premium of 3% in the cost of equity calculations
