Duni’s accrued interest is recognized as accrued expenses. Shown below are the nominal values excluding accrued interest, and carrying amounts for Duni’s borrowings.

The interest-bearing net debt that Duni tracks as a key ratio includes pension provisions. In the table above, Duni has chosen not to include pension provisions in order to enable the net cash flow in the table to be compared against cash flow for the year and cash flow used in financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.

Fair values

Current financing

Duni’s bank loans and overdraft facility, amounting to SEK 836 m (2016: SEK 673 m), carry variable interest which is determined in conjunction with each new loan period. The discount effect for such a relatively short period of time is insignificant, and thus the fair value corresponds to the nominal value plus accrued interest.
