13.8. Impairment of assets with indefinite useful life

Due to the nature of the business, the majority of single non-current assets of the Group do not generate cash flows which would be independent of flows generated by other assets. Individual cash-generating units are the companies belonging to the particular operating segments.

The allocation of goodwill to the particular units generating cash flows is presented in the table below:

  31.12.2021 31.12.2020
Aluprof S.A. – Aluminium Systems Segment 17,102 17,102
Other companies of the Aluminium Systems Segment* 2,538 2,547
Extruded Products Segment 61 61
Flexible Packaging Segment 350 350
Total 20,051 20,060
*Change in goodwill in other companies stems from currency translation differences from the conversion of currency.

In the presented periods, the Group performed annual impairment tests for units to which goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives were assigned. Impairment tests carried out in the presented years did not indicate any need to recognise write-downs. The below impairment test results reflect the breakdown into companies belonging to particular operating segments.

Recognised write-downs are presented in the table below:

1) The discount rate applied is based on the discount rate prior to inclusion of the effects of taxation, as defined by IAS 36.
*Collective data for FPS and EPS, tests were made separately for each segment.
**No justified or probable changes in the key assumptions made by the management with regard to the recoverable amount of the units make the carrying amount of the units exceed their recoverable amount.

Cash flows projections were based on 2022 budget assumptions, as well as the strategic assumptions of the Group until the year 2025.

Cash flows projections assume growth of revenue and maintenance of the 2021 margin level for all tested units. Within 5-year detailed projections replacement expenditure was assumed at half the annual depreciation charges, and for the residual period, in the amount of depreciation of the last year of the detailed projection
