Accounting principles

Associated companies and joint ventures

Associated companies are partly owned entities over which the Group commands a significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Normally this means a shareholding of between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting rights. A joint venture is an entity over which the Group has joint control, through contractual agreements with one or more parties. Interests in associated companies and joint ventures are recognized in accordance with the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the carrying amounts of interests in associated companies and joint ventures correspond to the recognized equity of associated companies and joint ventures, any goodwill and any other remaining fair value adjustments recognized at acquisition date. Sandvik’s share of the associated company and joint venture’s income, adjusted for dissolution of acquired surplus or deficit values, is recognized as a separate item in the consolidated income statement.
