2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

  1. Statement of compliance
    The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements that are issued by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (SOCPA) and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("last annual financial statements").

SAVOLA GROUP COMPANY (A Saudi Joint Stock Company)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended December 31, 2020

(Expressed in thousands of Saudi Riyal unless otherwise stated)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

  1. Statement of compliance (continued)
    These financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements, however, accounting policies and selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since last annual financial statements.
    1. Accounting convention / Basis of Measurement
      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accrual basis of accounting, going concern concept and under the historical cost basis, except for investments other than those carried at amortized cost, firm commitments and inventory under fair value hedging relationship, derivative financial instruments, lease liabilities and employee benefits which are recognised at the present value of future obligation using the Projected Unit Method. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
    2. Functional and presentation currency
      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Saudi Riyals (SR) which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
  2. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
    The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
    Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
    The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual consolidated financial statements. However, the Group has reviewed the key sources of estimation uncertainties disclosed in the last annual consolidated financial statements against the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes that other than the expected credit losses arising on the financial assets, impairment assessment on non- financial assets and certain actuarial assumptions for valuation of present value of defined benefit obligations, all other sources of estimation uncertainty remain similar to those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements. Management will continue to monitor the situation and any changes required will be reflected in future reporting periods.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's annual consolidated financial statement as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the amendment to the basis of revenue recognition relating to the commercial and promotional income from the retail business. Such income has been reclassified to the cost of revenues after re-evaluating the contractual terms with the suppliers based on the interpretation of the IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" and to align with related industry best practices. Further, during the year, the Group established a Long-Term Incentive Plan for its employees and applied the accounting policy as per the requirements of IFRS

2 "Share-based payment", as discussed below:

A. Commercial and promotional income

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the management has resolved that such income from suppliers that was historically recognised as part of revenues, does not necessarily represent a distinct performance obligation under interpretations of IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers". Accordingly, such income has now been recognised as a reduction of cost of revenue with retrospective application on the comparative amounts as per the requirements of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" in order to conform to the current presentation.

This adjustment did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial position as at December 31, 2019 or consolidated operating results including gross profit, net profit, basic or diluted earnings per share and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended. Consequently, the reported amounts of Revenues and Cost of revenues for the comparative period have been adjusted as follows:

A number of amendments to standards which are effective from January 1, 2020 and certain reclassifications made to the comparative amounts, do not have a material effect on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

  1. Equity-settledshare-based payment
    The grant-date fair value of equity-settledshare-based payment plan granted to employees is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis in the statement of profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity as 'Other reserves', over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service conditions at the vesting date.

  1. SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLAN (continued)
    Fair value per share on grant date is the closing price per share on Tadawul as at the grant date.
    The total expense recognised for employees' services received during the year ended December 31, 2020 under the Plan amounted to SR 1.4 million (December 31, 2019: SR Nil) and is included in
    'salaries and employee related expenses' with a corresponding increase in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity under the 'Other reserves'.
    During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group purchased 341,675 treasury shares amounting to SR 16.5 million in connection with the Plan. This includes shares funded by certain subsidiaries that are held by the Company in fiduciary capacity until vesting.
  2. STATUTORY RESERVE
    In accordance with the Company's bylaws and the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Company transfers 10% of the net income for the year to a statutory reserve until such reserve equals 30% of its share capital. Since the Company has reached the required reserve level, therefore, no additional transfers are required to be made.
    The statutory reserve in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements is the statutory reserve of the Company. This reserve currently is not available for distribution to the shareholders of the Company.

9. LOANS AND BORROWINGS (continued)

  1. These represent borrowings obtained from commercial banks and other financial institutions by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. These borrowings are mainly in Saudi Riyals, Egyptian Pounds, Iranian Riyals, US Dollars, Algerian Dinar, Moroccan Dirham, Turkish Lira, United Arab Emirates Dirhams and Sudanese Pounds. Certain of these borrowings are secured by a charge on the property, plant and equipment of certain overseas subsidiaries. Certain loan agreements include covenants which, amongst other things, require certain financial ratios to be maintained. Some of the borrowings of subsidiaries are secured by corporate guarantees of the Parent Company. As at December 31, 2020, loans and borrowings include sharia-compliant financing facilities amounting to SR 5.9 billion (December 31, 2019: SR 6.5 billion).
  2. On January 22, 2013, the Group completed its initial offering by issuing Sukuk with a total value of SR 1.5 billion with a tenor of 7 years and carrying an expected variable return to the Sukuk- holders of 6 months SIBOR plus 1.10% payable semi-annually. The covenants required certain financial and other conditions to be complied during the tenure. The Sukuk had matured on January 22, 2020.

On July 9, 2019, the Group completed the offering of its new Sukuk, under the new program, with a total value of SR 1 billion with a tenor of 7 years and carrying an expected variable return to the Sukuk-holders of 6 months SIBOR plus 1.60% payable semi-annually. The Sukuk will mature on July 9, 2026. The issuance included SR 507 million of the previous Sukuk, that has been redeemed and exchanged.

  1. Property, plant and equipment amounting to SR 252 million (December 31, 2019: SR 286 million) of certain overseas subsidiaries of the Group are pledged as collateral with commercial banks.
  2. Inventories amounting to SR 98 million (December 31, 2019: SR 62 million) are pledged with foreign banks as collateral against the bank borrowing facilities of certain overseas subsidiaries.
  3. As at December 31, 2020, the Group has unused bank financing facilities amounting to SR 4.8 billion (December 31, 2019: SR 5.3 billion) to manage short term and long term liquidity requirements.

10. ZAKAT AND INCOME TAXES

  1. Zakat status
    During the year 2019, the Company has finalised its Zakat status for the years 2005 to 2018. The General Authority for Zakat and Tax (GAZT) conducted a field audit on the Company's accounts for the years 2005 to 2012, and claimed additional Zakat difference of SR 85.8 million. Subsequently, the assessment was agreed with the GAZT Settlement Committee and the Company settled the liability with an amount of SR 10.2 million. Moreover, the years from 2013 to 2018 were also finalized based on the amended returns which resulted in an assessment of SR 5.4 million. During the year, the GAZT issued a revised claim for the previously finalized years from 2014 to 2018. The management is in the process of filing an objection against the said claim and believes that the settlement of the claim is not probable, therefore no provision has been recorded in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The Company has open years 1999 and 2000, for which there is an ongoing objection of SR 1.9 million against the assessment issued by GAZT.

(Expressed in thousands of Saudi Riyal unless otherwise stated)

10. ZAKAT AND INCOME TAXES (continued)

  1. Zakat status (continued)
    Certain subsidiaries in the foods processing sector have also received final or provisional zakat certificates until the year 2019. Accordingly, payment plans have been pursued as per the agreement with GAZT and liabilities have been adjusted against the final settlement amounts. Further, the GAZT claimed additional zakat amounting to SR 63 million in relation to a subsidiary for certain years previously finalized. As a result of objection filed by the subsidiary against these claims, the GAZT issued a revised assessment with no additional liability.
    Additionally, in one of the Group's subsidiaries, zakat accruals amounting to SR 21 million in relation to the assessment years 2008-2014 were reversed after considering the application of the statute of limitation under the regulations issued by the GAZT.

Also, the Group has pending appeals against assessments of certain subsidiaries with total Zakat differences of SR 7.8 million (December 31, 2019: approximately SR 8.2 million).

  1. Income tax status
    The Group's foreign subsidiaries are obliged to pay income tax as per applicable tax laws of their countries of incorporation. Tax paying foreign subsidiaries determine their liabilities based on applicable corporate rates to the adjusted taxable income for the year. Certain foreign subsidiaries are also obliged to pay quarterly advance tax determined on prior year tax liability bases.
    Certain foreign subsidiaries have received final tax assessments for certain years and provisional tax assessments for other years. They have also received queries from departments of income tax after their assessment or inspections for open years, for which replies have been filed.
    The Group management believes that there are no significant amounts under protest with departments of income tax in any foreign operation.

Basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 have been computed by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company for such periods by the weighted average number of shares outstanding 533.874 million (December 31, 2019: 533.981 million) during such periods.

Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, have been computed by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company for such periods by the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares i.e. 533.981 million (December 31, 2019: 533.981 million).

Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of computing basic earnings per share are as follows:

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group has five reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's Chief Executive Officer (Chief Operating Decision Maker) reviews internal management reports on at least quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments:

Food processing - includes manufacturing, sale and distribution of Edible oils, Sugar, Pasta and food products.

Retail - includes hyper markets, supermarkets and convenience stores operations.

Food services - includes food products and fast food restaurants' chain operated by Herfy.

Frozen Food - includes manufacturing, wholesale and retail distribution of frozen food products operated by Good Food Company.

Investments - includes real estate activities, investments in equity-accounted investees and other investments.

The segments which do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2020 and 2019, are classified as "Others / Eliminations", which mainly include the eliminations.

Performance is measured based on segment profit net of income tax and zakat, as included in the internal management reports. Management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below:

15. HYPERINFLATIONARY ACCOUNTING

The Group has been closely monitoring the economic conditions in Iran and reviewing qualitative considerations prescribed in IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies to establish if the country is under hyperinflation and accordingly the reported amounts of their local operations needs to be adjusted for changes in Consumer Price Index (CPI). Among other consumer behaviours; a significant deterioration in the value of Iranian Rial against USD in foreign exchange markets has also been observed over last three years. Moreover, during the period ended September 30, 2020 the cumulative inflation rate over three years also exceeded 100 percent. In this regard, a reference has been made to inflation data published on International Monetary Fund website by World Economic Outlook and the Statistical Centre of Iran.

The Group has applied the requirements of IAS 29 in preparing and presenting its condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Furthermore, the Group has operations in Sudan through its subsidiary Savola Edible Oils (Sudan) Ltd., which had been declared as hyperinflationary economy by International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) in 2018, accordingly, the requirements of IAS 29 also remains applicable for the Group's Sudan operations.

The main effects on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements due to hyperinflationary accounting (which includes both indexing up and using of closing exchange rate) for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

  1. Accounting classification and fair values

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

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

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability falls into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest input level that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between fair value categories of level 1 and level 2.

As the Group's financial instruments are compiled under the historical cost convention, except for investments and derivative financial instruments which are carried at fair values, differences can arise between the book values and fair value estimates. Management believes that the fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values.

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

17. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and to maintain a strong capital base to support the sustained development of its businesses.

The Group manages its capital structure by monitoring return on net assets and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group also monitors capital using a leverage ratio, which is net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings including finance cost thereon, trade and other payables, less cash and bank balances. The leverage ratio as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

There are no new standards issued, however, the adoption of the following amendments to the existing standards had no significant financial impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group on the current period or prior periods and is expected to have no significant effect in future periods:

  • Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards;
  • Definition of a Business (Amendment to IFRS 3);
  • Definition of Material (Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8); and
  • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)

PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED AND NOT YET EFFECTIVE

A number of new pronouncements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.
  • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)

19. IMPACT OF COVID-19

The existence of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was confirmed in early 2020 and has spread across multiple geographies, causing disruptions to businesses and economic activity. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and its resulting disruptions to the social and economic activities, the Group's management has assigned a task force to assess and monitor the possible impact on its business in Saudi Arabia and other geographies where Group operates. The management has also taken a series of preventive measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees, customers and wider community as well as to ensure the continuity of its operations.
