Accounting Classifications and Fair Values

The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy for financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, which require disclosure of fair value measurements by level:

• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
• Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2);
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Additional information

• In the above table, the Company has disclosed the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities for which the book value is different than fair value in a way that permits the information to be compared with the carrying amounts.
• There are financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, namely the interest rate swaps and options, forward currency contracts and commodity swaps, which are classified at a Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). The carrying amount for these financial assets and liabilities approximates the fair value as at December 31, 2025.
• The Company has not disclosed the fair values for financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables and payables, because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair values as the impact of discounting is insignificant.
• Classes of financial instruments that are not used are not disclosed.
• No instruments were transferred between Level 1 and Level 2.
• No instruments were transferred between Level 2 and Level 3.
• None of the instruments of the Level 3 hierarchy are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position.
• No financial instruments were subject to offsetting as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
