IFRS 18 (Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements) Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027

The new standard on presentation and disclosure in IFRS 18 focuses on updates to the structure of the statement of profit or loss. This includes required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation that apply to primary financial statements and notes in general.

IFRS 18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively.

The Group has initiated an impact assessment and is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, its impact on presentation and disclosure is expected to be pervasive. In particular, the impact of the adoption is anticipated to include:

  • The presentation of new subtotals in the statement of profit or loss;
  • The review and alignment of income and expense classifications into categories; and
  • Additional disclosures for management-defined performance measures (MPMs).
