THE ANNUAL REPORT AT A GLANCE

Contributions This year, ATP received member contributions totalling DKK 9.0bn. Each year, an ATP contribution of DKK 3,240 is paid on behalf of the average wage earner, two-thirds of which is paid by the employer. At ATP The lion’s share of the contributions received – 80 percent – equivalent to DKK 7.2bn are guaranteed and hedged to ensure that ATP will always be able to deliver on the guarantees made. This year, the value creation from the total guarantees was 3.9 percent. The remainder – 20 percent – equivalent to DKK 1.8bn of the contribution is invested broadly in equities, properties etc., this year generating a return of 6.5 percent. Less expenses and tax, ATP made a profit of DKK 5.3bn this year, DKK 2.8bn of which will be earmarked to increase pensions for current pensioners. The profit after allocation of bonus is DKK 2.5bn, which increases the bonus potential (the reserves). When the bonus potential is sufficiently high, it will be possible to further increase the guaranteed ATP pensions. Pension benefits When the wage earner starts receiving state-funded old-age pension, ATP Livslang Pension (Lifelong Pension) is disbursed. This year, pensioners received a total of DKK 13.7bn. The payment comprises the originally guaranteed pensions and any bonus added. The full annual ATP pension for a 65-year-old who has contributed to ATP throughout his or her working life is DKK 24,000.

Today 65-year-old men and women can expect – on average – to live until the age of 84 and 87, respectively. This is a full three years longer than in 1990, but three or four years less than is projected for 2050. Life expectancy is a key issue in a pension context. The longer the life expectancy, the more pension must be paid out. The ATP Group Annual Report 2014

Note 1 General accounting policies The consolidated financial statements and the annual report of ATP for 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Re-

 porting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and in accordance with additional Danish disclosure requirements as set out in the ‘Executive Order on Financial Reporting by the Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Scheme’ (Bekendtgørelse om finansielle rapporter for Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension – available in Danish only). In the preparation of the annual report, the Supervisory and Executive Boards list a number of assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses. Note 2 specifies the accounting estimates and assessments considered to be material in the preparation of the annual report. Accounting policies and accounting estimates for specific items are set out in the individual notes.

§ Accounting policies Materiality in presentation In the preparation of the annual report, the Supervisory and Executive Boards assess how to present the annual report. In this context, it is taken into account that the content of the annual report must be significant to the reader. In the presentation of the Group’s and ATP’s assets, liabilities, financial position and performance, it is assessed whether less significant amounts could, with advantage, be aggregated. In the preparation of the notes, the focus is on ensuring that the content is relevant and the presentation is clear. Assessments are always carried out in relation to legislation, international financial reporting and accounting standards and to ensure that the annual report provides an overall true and fair view. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the ATP Parent Company and entities controlled by ATP. ATP controls an entity when ATP is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The consolidated financial statements are based on the financial statements of the Parent Company and the individual subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. On consolidation, items of a uniform nature are added together and the following items are eliminated: intercompany income and expenses, equity holdings, intercompany balances and dividends, as well as realised and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between consolidated companies. Associates are entities in which the Group has a significant but not controlling interest. The Group is considered to have a significant interest when the Group has between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights or otherwise exercises significant influence. Minority interests arise because a few investment subsidiaries have co-investment schemes in which employees participate and in the 2014 acquisition of Galaxy properties SA, see note 28. A group overview is available on page 52. Foreign currency translation: Functional currency and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), the functional currency and presentation currency of the Parent Company. Translation of transactions and amounts A functional currency is determined for each of the Group’s reporting entities. The functional currency is the currency used in the primary financial environment in which the reporting entity operates. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Investment assets, receivables and payables in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Realised and unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the income statement under ‘Market value adjustments related to investment activities’ and ‘Market value adjustments related to hedging activities’. All of the Group’s entities use Danish kroner (DKK) as their functional currency. Cash flow statement The Group’s cash flow statement shows the cash flows for the year, broken down by operating, investment and financing activities; changes for the year in cash and cash equivalents; and the Group’s cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year. Cash flows from operating activities are presented directly and calculated as pension contributions received less pension benefit payouts. Moreover, management fees received, payments related to administration activities, payments to suppliers and staff, and direct and indirect taxes are included. Cash flows from investment activities include purchases and sales for the financial year of bonds, equity investments, financial derivatives, mutual fund units, loans to credit institutions, investment properties, as well as intangible assets and operating equipment. Cash flows from financing activities include the use of repo transactions, transactions with minority interests and repayment of mortgage debt in acquired companies, for the financial year. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and demand deposits, as well as time deposits with an original term to maturity of less than three months.

Note 1 General accounting policies, continued Accounting policies for notes without a specific note attached Income tax Tax on results for the year, comprising current tax for the year, changes in deferred tax and prior year adjustments, if any, is recognised in the income statement. Tax payable and deferred tax are recognised under payables, while tax receivable and deferred tax assets are recognised under assets. Deferred tax resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities is measured under the statement of financial position liability method. The tax value of tax loss carryforwards is included in the calculation of deferred tax if it is likely that the tax loss carryforwards can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured in accordance with the current tax rules and at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the temporary differences reverse. Operating equipment Operating equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the acquisition price as well as expenses directly related to the acquisition until such a time as the asset is ready for use. Expenses incurred for repair and maintenance are taken directly to the income statement. Depreciation of operating equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of the assets. The depreciation periods have been determined at two to five years. Losses or gains on the sale or other disposal of property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount. The residual value and useful economic lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. If the residual value of the asset exceeds the carrying amount, depreciation is discontinued. In case of changes in the depreciation period or the residual value, the prospective effect of depreciation is recognised as a change in accounting estimate.

Note 2 Significant accounting estimates

! !

In the preparation of the annual report in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Supervisory and Executive Boards make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The Supervisory and Executive Boards base their estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable and relevant under the circumstances. The Supervisory and Executive Boards of the ATP Group consider the following estimates and related assessments to be significant in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. • • •

Estimates related to the determination of the fair value of financial instruments (note 12) The discount rate and estimates related to the valuation of pension provisions (note 22) Impairment test of intangible assets, including goodwill (note 26)

Note 3 New accounting regulations The following new and revised standards that are effective for financial periods beginning on 1 January 2014 have been implemented in the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements. The standards have been classified according to whether or not they affect the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements.



Standards implemented in 2014 which impact the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements •

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 10, the ATP Group has changed its accounting policies for determining when and how to consolidate an entity (investee) in which the Group has interests. IFRS 10 establishes a new single control model that applies to all entities in which the Group has interests by focusing on whether the Group controls an investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over an investee. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10, as at 1 January 2014 the Group thus reassessed its investments relative to the new control model. As a result of this review, the following investments were reclassified as subsidiaries: • • •

AlphaOne SICAV_FIS Secured Multi Asset Repackaging Trust P.L.C. Signum Finance V P.L.C. (Sold in 2014)

Previously, these entities were recognised in the item ‘Bonds’. The impact of this change was recognised in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS in the opening statement of financial position as at 1 January 2013. As a result, the Group’s total assets as at 31 December 2013 increased by DKK 46m and the impact was thus very limited. The change did not impact the results and bonus potential of the Group or ATP. Standards and interpretations that have been implemented without an impact on the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements • • • • • • • • •

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities Several amendments to IFRS 10, 11, 12 and IAS 27 IAS 27 (2011), Separate Financial Statements IAS 28 (2011), Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Amendments to IAS 39, Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting IFRIC 21, Levies Annual Improvements to IFRSs Cycle 2010-2012

Standards and interpretations not yet in effect A number of new and revised standards and interpretations have been issued that are not mandatory for the Group and ATP for the preparation of the annual report for 2014. None of these standards and interpretations are expected to have a material impact on the financial reporting of the Group and ATP.

§ Accounting policies Tax on pension savings returns comprises current tax on pension savings returns for the year, changes in deferred tax on pension savings returns, and prior year adjustments, if any. Tax on pension savings returns is allocated between investment, hedging and pension activities based on the return allocated to investment, hedging and pension activities, respectively. Current tax liabilities in respect of pension savings returns and current tax receivable in respect of pension savings returns are recognised in the statement of financial position as calculated tax on pension savings returns adjusted for interim payment of tax on pension savings returns. Deferred tax on pension savings returns resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities is measured under the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred tax assets in respect of pension savings returns, including the tax value of tax loss carryforwards, are included at the value at which the asset is expected to be realisable – either by elimination in pension savings returns tax on future earnings or by set-off against deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax on pension savings returns is measured in accordance with current tax rules and at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the temporary differences reverse.

§ Accounting policies Purchase and sale of financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the trade date. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value on the trade date. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value or amortised cost.

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value In accordance with the fair value option (chosen) of IAS 39, the following assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value in the income statement: - Bonds - Equity investments, including investments in subsidiaries and associates - Mutual fund units - Loans to portfolio companies - Receivables from credit institutions - Payables to credit institutions. The assets and liabilities specified above are managed and assessed based on changes in fair value in accordance with the Group’s risk management strategy, see the section ‘Risks and risk management’.

In addition, financial derivatives (trading assets and liabilities) are also recognised at fair value on the trade date. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial derivatives are also measured at fair value. Accounting policies for financial derivatives are presented in note 13.

Adjustment of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is recognised in the income statement under ‘Market value adjustments related to investment activities’ and ‘Market value adjustments related to hedging activities’ on an ongoing basis. Determination of fair value For financial assets and liabilities that are traded in a market, the official market price is used. Bid prices are used in the measurement of financial assets, while ask prices are used in the measurement of financial liabilities. For other financial assets and liabilities, the fair value determination represents ATP’s most objective estimate of the current fair value of financial assets and liabilities, based on the most unambiguous and uniform guidelines possible and, to some extent, supported by management estimates. In the determination of these estimates, the following methods are applied:

Interest-based investment assets and liabilities For investments in bonds for which no active market exists, yield curves with the addition of yield spreads are used, so as to ensure that pricing is as fair as possible. Private equity investments. Private equity investments in real estate funds are measured based on a calculated fair value in which underlying properties and other statement of financial position items are recognised at market value. If the fair value cannot be reliably measured, cost is used.

The ATP Group Annual Report 2014

Note 12 Financial assets and liabilities, continued

!

§ Accounting policies, continued Private equity investments in private equity funds are measured on the basis of the latest market price – either in the form of a round of capital increases or a partial sale, based on the value of comparable companies and using traditional valuation methods. In traditional valuation methods, reporting received from the private equity funds, among other things, containing fair value disclosures from the funds, is used. Market-based multiples are also used for a few investments. Private equity investments in portfolio companies are measured on the basis of the latest market price, based on the value of comparable companies and using traditional valuation methods.In traditional valuation methods, reporting received from the portfolio companies, among other things, containing fair value disclosures from the funds, is used. The following factors are included in the determination of fair value:

1) valuation and other significant conditions related to the latest round of financing 2) significant events related to the company’s business, product launches, new clients and changes to the management team 3) compliance or non-compliance with significant predefined milestones and other conditions assessed to be capable of impacting the fair value, including general changes in market and competition conditions and new technology. Mutual fund units are measured on the basis of reporting received from mutual funds. This reporting contains information on fair values of the underlying assets and liabilities of the mutual funds. Loans to portfolio companies. Valuation of loans to portfolio companies is based on expected cash flows from these loans, adjusted for changes in credit risk. Receivables from credit institutions comprise amounts paid under repo transactions, i.e. purchase of securities where, as part of the agreement, the buyer agrees to sell back the security at some later date. Securities purchased are not included in the statement of financial position, and the amount paid is therefore included as a receivable. Payables to credit institutions comprise amounts received under repo transactions, i.e. sale of securities where, as part of the agreement, the borrower agrees to repurchase the security at some later date. Securities sold are still included in the statement of financial position and the amount received is included as a liability. Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost Loans and receivables, with the exception of ‘Loans to portfolio companies’ and ‘Receivables from credit institutions’, are measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is usually equivalent to nominal value. If an objective indication of impairment of a loan or receivable is believed to exist, a write-down for impairment is made to meet losses on other loans and receivables. Objective indication of impairment of a loan or receivable exists, for example, if a debtor is facing significant financial difficulties, if a debtor fails to meet its payment obligations under a contract or agreement, or if a debtor is likely to go bankrupt or be subject to other financial reconstruction.

Write-downs for impairment are made individually. Impairment losses are deducted directly from the related asset items, while the changes in impairment losses for the period under review are recognised in the income statement. Other liabilities, comprising ‘payables to subsidiaries’, ‘tax payable on pension savings returns’ and ‘other payables’, are measured at amortised cost, essentially equivalent to nominal value.

Significant accounting estimates Significant accounting estimates are associated primarily with the measurement of financial assets and liabilities at fair value where the valuation is based to a lesser extent on observable market data. This includes parts of the Group’s equity investments, mutual fund units, investment properties and loans to portfolio companies, see level 3 assets in note 20 ‘Fair value disclosure’. In the determination of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities for which no active market exists, uncertainty primarily relates to: •

Choice of discount rate (market rate)



Determination of expected future cash flows from financial assets

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including financial derivatives for which no quoted market prices exist, is based on the best information available under the circumstances. The accounting methods include discounting to net present value of future cash flows and assessment of underlying market conditions. Assumptions of interest rates, risk premiums, volatility, default, prepayments and other information are included in the use of these methods. Reference is made to note 20 ‘Fair value disclosure’, containing information on input variables etc. in relation to fair value measurement.

Note 13 Financial derivatives Group The ATP Group uses various financial derivatives as part of its risk management such as interest rate swaps, equity futures, inflation swaps and forward exchange contracts. A characteristic of financial derivatives is that their value depends on developments in the value of an underlying instrument, index or the like. Using financial derivatives makes it possible to increase or reduce the exposure to market risks, among other things.

Interest rate contracts The ATP Group uses interest rate swaps, among other instruments, as part of the hedging of the interest rate risk of the Group’s pension liabilities. Interest rate swaps are included in the Group’s hedging portfolio. In addition to interest rate swaps, the group of interest rate contracts used by the Group in 2014 also included interest rate swaptions and interest rate futures. Below, fair values as at 31 December 2014 are listed by positive and negative values, respectively.

2014 Fair value

§ Accounting policies, continued On initial recognition, i.e. the date of entering into the derivative transaction, financial derivatives are recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial derivatives are also measured at fair value. For financial derivatives that are traded in a market, the official market price is used. For financial derivatives that are not traded in a market, various generally accepted valuation methods are used, depending on the type of instrument involved. For interest rate instruments, valuation is based on the market rate expressed as the zero coupon yield curve at the statement of financial position date. Bid prices are used in the measurement of financial assets, while ask prices are used in the measurement of financial liabilities. Changes in the fair value of financial derivatives are recognised in the income statement as they occur. Financial derivatives with a positive fair value are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets, while financial derivatives with a negative fair value are recognised in the statement of financial position as liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents received as part of a margin settlement are recognised in the statement of financial position, given that ATP has the right of disposal of margin account balances. Securities which, as part of collateral security, have only been formally assigned to ATP’s ownership are not recognised in the statement of financial position, given that ATP neither bears the risk nor benefits from the return on these securities. Similarly, securities which ATP only has assigned formally to counterparties as part of collateral security are still recognised in ATP’s statement of financial position. ATP enters into foreign exchange contracts with external counterparties on behalf of several of the Group’s subsidiaries. The positive or negative market values in relation to subsidiaries are not included in the above, but are presented as ‘Receivables from subsidiaries’ and ‘Payables to subsidiaries’ in ATP’s statement of financial position.

ATP

§ Accounting policies In accordance with the fair value option of IAS 39, investments in subsidiaries are measured at fair value in ATP’s financial statements, see note 12. Investments in the earnings of subsidiaries are assessed based on fair value in accordance with ATP’s and the ATP Group’s risk management and investment strategies. Reporting to the Supervisory and Executive Boards of the ATP Group is based on this. Starting in 2013, the functional currency of the ATP Group’s foreign subsidiaries was changed from local currency to Danish kroner (DKK). The activities of the foreign subsidiaries are mainly an extension of the activities already carried out by the ATP Parent Company (integrated foreign entities). Price differences previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised in results only if and when the foreign entities are disposed of. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date as far as assets and liabilities are concerned and at average exchange rates as far as income statement items are concerned.

§ Accounting policies In accordance with the fair value option of IAS 39, investments in associates are measured at fair value in the Group’s and ATP’s financial statements, see note 12. Investments in the earnings of associates are assessed based on fair value in accordance with ATP’s and the ATP Group’s risk management and investment strategies. Reporting to the Supervisory and Executive Boards of the ATP Group is based on this. Associates are entities in which the Group has a significant but not controlling interest. Significant interest is typically achieved through direct or indirect ownership or right of disposal of more than 20 percent of the voting rights, but less than 50 percent. In the assessment of whether the Group has a significant interest, potential voting rights that may be exercised at the statement of financial position date are taken into account. An overview of the Group’s associates in 2014 and 2013 is listed below with relevant accounting information. Owner

§ Accounting policies Investment properties are properties held by the ATP Group to earn rental income and/or capital gains. Investment properties are properties which the ATP Group does not use for administration etc. as such properties are classified as owner-occupied properties, see note 27. Properties with elements of owner-occupied properties and investment properties are allocated proportionately between the two asset types. On initial recognition, investment properties are recognised at cost including transaction expenses. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. A return-based model is used to determine the fair value of the properties. The determination of the return on individual properties is based on expected rental income at full occupancy of the properties. Expected operating, administration and maintenance expenses are deducted. The value subsequently calculated is adjusted for recognised vacancy rent loss for a suitable period and expected expenses related to major maintenance work; deposits and prepaid rent are also added. The required rates of return are determined based on external estate agents' assessment of the market level. Expenses incurred in the form of new or improved qualities which result in an increase in the fair value determined immediately prior to the incurrence of the expenses, are added to the acquisition price as improvements. Fair value is determined based on the following rates of required return: Group

Note 17 Market risks ATP’s risk limits are, in addition to statutory limits, based on an overall risk framework in which market risks are included as well as a number of specific limits. The overall risk framework is expressed by a risk budget, determined on the basis of the bonus potential and guaranteed benefits, while the overall risk is determined using the Value-at-Risk target with a risk tolerance of 0.5 percent and a one-year time frame. The overall risk framework and the related risk target are determined by the Supervisory Board. ATP’s risk limits – statutory limits, limits set by the Supervisory Board and internally established limits – are monitored and reported on a daily basis in relation to ATP’s actual risks, and any deviations from these limits are reported to the ATP Supervisory and Executive Boards. Market risks Market risks in the ATP investment portfolio are based on the investment portfolio’s division into the risk classes Interest Rates, Credit, Equities, Inflation and Commodities. A number of risk targets are used in the measurement of ATP’s market risks, including Expected Shortfall, which is a generally used target for risk in worst-case scenarios. In connection with the determination of risk allocation between the five risk classes, Expected Shortfall over a three-month time frame and a 1 percent quantile (ES, three months, 99 percent) is used. This risk target expresses the average of the 1 percent worst losses over a three-month time frame.

ATP’s risk management provides limits for the allocation of risk on the investment portfolio’s five risk classes with a view to ensuring appropriate diversification of ATP’s investments. The risk allocation has been determined as each risk class’s share of the sum of risk for the five risk classes. The ATP Supervisory Board has set a long-term target and upper and lower limits for each risk class’s share of the overall risk of the investment portfolio.

Currency risks ATP’s currency risks are, as a general rule, hedged in DKK and euros. However, a limit applies for the currency exposure to other currencies. This limit allows for the fact that hedging is not completely precise and that it may therefore be inexpedient to hedge some currencies. As a general rule, emerging market currency exposure is not hedged. ATP’s currency exposure as at 31 December 2014 Incl. hedging

Note 18 Credit and counterparty risks The Group’s credit risks are associated, in part, with investments in the Credit risk class, in part with bonds, loans, receivables and cash and cash equivalents and, in part, with financial derivatives with a positive fair value.

As part of the ATP investment strategy, ATP actively assumes credit risks by investment in emerging market government bonds, corporate bonds, mezzanine capital and payment-in-kind notes. Credit risks associated with these investments are regarded as a separate risk class, Credit, to which separate limits apply.

ATP’s portfolios of government bonds and mortgage bonds involve a credit risk which, in the case of government bonds, is assessed as being close to zero, as ATP’s portfolio of government bonds consisted exclusively of German and domestic government bonds at year-end 2014, and, in the case of mortgage bonds, is assessed as being moderate. Moreover, ATP’s cash deposits with banks are subject to credit risk, which is assessed as being moderate.

Note 19 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the ATP Group will not have sufficient funds available to meet its contractual obligations when they fall due. Liquidity risk is associated, in particular, with hedging activities, but also with contribution payments, pension benefit payouts and payment of tax on pension savings returns.



The Group must at all times be able to meet requirements for paying liquidity or providing collateral in the form of bonds. ATP’s management of liquidity risk is based on calculations of liquidity needs and liquidity under various scenarios with related limits for how much liquidity ATP must be able to muster in the short term (five days) and the long term (one year). In addition, current cash budgets are prepared. The net liquidity effect on contribution payments and pension payouts over the year is stable. The Group’s cash reserves are comprised of cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets and unutilised credit facilities. Maturity analysis In the table below, the Group’s and ATP’s financial liabilities are broken down by contractual maturity including interest.

Note 20 Fair value disclosure This note discloses how the ATP Group determines the fair value of various financial assets and liabilities. Most of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The table below shows how the fair value of various financial assets and liabilities is determined. Disclosures are not provided specifically for the ATP Parent Company. Apart from the size of amounts, these disclosures are identical to those of the Group. All fair value measurements disclosed are recurring value measurements.

The ATP Group Annual Report 2014

Note 20 Fair value disclosure, continued Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value or amortised cost, see accounting policies for financial instruments in note 12. In the determination of fair value, the ATP Group uses a predefined hierarchy in IFRS 7, consisting of three levels of inputs. Level 1 – quoted prices: The market price of the financial instrument is used if an active market exists. The market price can be in the form of a quoted price or price quotation. Level 2 – observable inputs. If a financial instrument is listed on a non-active market, the valuation is based on the most recent transaction price. Adjustments are made for subsequent changes in market conditions. For some financial assets and liabilities, no actual market exists. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is made using an estimated value based on recent transactions in similar instruments. For financial derivatives, valuation techniques based on market conditions, e.g. yield curves and exchange rates, are widely used. Level 3 – unobservable inputs. The valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities is based substantially on unobservable inputs. For a significant portion of the Group’s equity investments and a small portion of the Group’s bond portfolio, valuation is based on unobservable inputs. Note 12 describes the individual valuation methods used to determine the fair value of these financial assets. Transfers between levels are assessed, as a minimum, at each closing of quarterly financial statements. For individual financial assets and liabilities, it is assessed whether the most significant input variables in connection with the fair value determination have changed, for example from unobservable to observable. If this is the case, the asset or liability is transferred out of the relevant level and into the new level from the time the input variables changed.

Note 21 Disclosures about offsetting financial assets and liabilities This note contains disclosures about offsetting financial assets and liabilities for the ATP Group. The ATP Group does not use offsetting in connection with the settlement of financial liabilities. Thus, there is no difference between the columns ‘Recognised assets, gross’ and ‘Net amounts of financial assets presented in the statement of financial position’. The ATP Group extensively uses collateral provided to and from counterparties when entering into financial contracts. Net amounts thus indicate the exposure after provision of collateral. Disclosures are not provided specifically for the ATP Parent Company. These disclosures are identical to those of the Group.

Note 22 Guaranteed benefits, continued

!

§ Accounting policies Guaranteed benefits are calculated at the fair value of the Group's pension liabilities, i.e. the value in use of guaranteed benefits and rights (the pension commitment) assessed as a function of the current discount rate at the statement of financial position date. The discount rate is calculated in accordance with the provision basis reported to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, based on the zero coupon yield curve at the statement of financial position date, reflecting the term of the guaranteed benefits. The rate thus calculated has been reduced by the tax rate under the Danish Pension Savings Returns Act (Pensionsafkastbeskatningsloven), currently accounting for 15.3 percent.The determination of the discount rate is described in detail in note 1 ‘Significant accounting estimates and assessments‘.

The changes for the year in guaranteed benefits are allocated between hedging and pension activities. Changes related to changes in the market rate and changes in maturity reduction are recognised in hedging activities. Changes related to contribution payments for the year and pension benefit payouts for the year are recognised in pension activities. Other minor changes are also recognised in pension activities. In addition, changes due to life expectancy update are also recognised in pension activities. The life expectancy update comprises observed and expected future increases in life expectancy. Bonus is not allocated to the Group’s business areas.

! !

Significant accounting estimates

When assessing pension provisions, these provisions are calculated on the basis of customary actuarial assumptions, with the most significant assumptions relating to the discount factor being based on the discount rate specified and on life expectancies for ATP’s, see the section ’Risks and risk management’. These assumptions are assumed to reflect current market conditions.

Discount rate The discount rate curve is comprised of a zero-coupon yield curve, estimated using a recognised method, and a long-term required rate of return of 3 percent.The assets included in the estimation basis reflect the relevant currency denomination, maturity and liquidity. The percentage breakdown of the assets included in the estimation basis is as follows:

Interest rate swaps denominated in Danish kroner – 15% Interest rate swaps denominated in euros – 35% Domestic government bonds –

25%

German government bonds – 25%

The zero-coupon yield curve is estimated on the basis of buying and selling rates on the asset side of the breakdown above and determined on the basis of a specific set of maturities up to 30 years. The four input curves, weighted using the zero-coupon yields, are used for this purpose. Other points on the yield curve are determined by linear interpolation between the estimated points. For interest rate swaps denominated in Danish kroner (DKK), Danish CIBOR fixings and Danish swap rates are used. For interest rate swaps denominated in euros, EURIBOR fixings, euro forward rate agreements and euro swap rates against EURIBOR and EONIA are used. For domestic government bonds, yields on domestic government bonds with a term to maturity of more than two months are used. For German government bonds, yields on German government bonds with a term to maturity of more than two months are used.

From 40 years onwards, the required rate of return of 3 percent is used.

The table below shows selected points on the zero-coupon yield curve in 2014 and 2013.

Note 24 Bonus potential, continued

!

§ Accounting policies ATP’s and the Group’s bonus potential are reserves that are not distributed to ATP’s members. The bonus potential is calculated at the amount equivalent to the carrying amount of total assets related to ATP less guaranteed benefits, provisions for claims outstanding and the sum of the carrying amount of ATP’s other liabilities. The reserves can be distributed as bonus. Bonus additions are transferred to guaranteed benefits over results and comprehensive income. Comprehensive income for the year is transferred to the bonus potential. Revaluations and reversal of revaluations of owner-occupied properties are recognised directly in the bonus potential over other comprehensive income. The bonus potential thus rises and falls with the size of the net results for the year and other comprehensive income.

Bonus policy The framework of ATP’s bonus policy is defined in section 18(3) of the ATP Act (ATP Loven), stipulating that the aim is to pursue a long-term bonus policy to ensure that the real value of pensions is preserved. The ATP Supervisory Board decides once a year whether to add bonus. This depends, among other things, on the size of the bonus rate. The bonus rate is defined as bonus potential relative to guaranteed benefits, see note 33. In 2013, the ATP Supervisory Board resolved to expand ATP’s indicative bonus policy with an option to increase pensions for current pensioners. If the bonus rate exceeds 10 percent, pensions for current pensioners can be increased. In 2014, the bonus potential was sufficient to adjust pensions at year-end by 1.5 percent for all current pensioners.

ATP’s individual reserve requirement based on the upcoming European Solvency II regulation for insurance companies was calculated at DKK 31.6bn as at 31 December 2014, see the section ‘Risks and risk management’.

§ Accounting policies Deposits under the remaining contracts of the SP scheme (Special Pension Savings Scheme) transferred to ATP include contributions paid into the scheme by account holders with the addition of the accrual of returns for the year and less extraordinary payouts during the year, social security contributions and administration expenses incurred.

Deposits comprise provisions for remaining SP account holders which could not be disbursed as part of the automatic disbursement of SP funds in 2010. The provisions represent 62,000 remaining account holders. In 2014, DKK 4m was disbursed.Any funds undisbursed at the end of April 2015 will, by statute, accrue to ATP’s bonus potential.

At the beginning of 2013, provisions for SUPP unit-linked contracts were transferred to ATP as part of the conversion of SUPP savings to ATP pensions.

§ Accounting policies Goodwill On initial recognition, goodwill is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost as described under acquisition of companies, see note 28. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Internal development projects Clearly defined and identifiable development projects, for which the technical rate of utilisation, sufficient resources and a potential future market or application in the company can be demonstrated, and where the intention is to produce, market or use the project, are recognised as intangible assets, provided that the cost of these assets can be measured reliably and there is a sufficient degree of certainty of the future value in use. Other development costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Development costs include expenses, remunerations and amortisation attributable to the Group’s development activities.

Internal development projects are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of the assets, typically from three to ten years. The useful economic lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.

Recoverable amount

The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the value in use and the fair value less selling costs. The recoverable amount is based on the value in use, determined through use of expected net cash flows based on budgets approved by the Supervisory and Executive Boards.

Impairment tests of development projects and other assets Internal development projects in progress comprise primarily the tendering of the contract for IT systems relating to Udbetaling Danmark. The carrying amount of tendering of the contract for IT systems totalled DKK 103m as at 31 December 2014.

The objective of tendering the contract is to reduce IT expenses through procurement of operationally reliable and cost-effective business solutions.

The remaining carrying amount as at 31 December 2014 relates to a few part projects that have not yet been completed for operation.

In 2014, the Supervisory and Executive Boards conducted an impairment test of the carrying amount of development projects in progress. The assessment is that the recoverable value exceeds the carrying amount. The assessment of the recoverable amount is based on value in use calculations, determined through use of expected cash flows based on budgets for the years 2015-2019 as approved by the Supervisory and Executive Boards.

For other completed development projects, the Supervisory and Executive Boards have assessed the amortisation period determined. For a few projects, the Supervisory and Executive Boards have assessed that the value in use should be reduced, and, in addition, in 2014 impairment was provided for a few completed projects.

§ Accounting policies Owner-occupied properties are properties used by the Group for administration purposes. Properties with elements of both owner-occupied properties and investment properties are allocated proportionately between the two asset types by square metre. Owner-occupied properties are recognised at cost and subsequently measured at fair value using a revaluation model. The fair value of owner-occupied properties is assessed using the principles applied to the Group’s investment properties, see note 16. Depreciation of owner-occupied properties is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of the assets. The depreciation periods have been determined at 50 years. No depreciation is provided for land. Revaluation at the statement of financial position date of property, plant and equipment from cost to fair value is recognised under the bonus potential as a revaluation reserve. Increases in the fair value of a property are recognised directly in the item ‘Revaluation reserve’ under bonus potential, unless the increase is offset by a corresponding decrease in value previously recognised in the income statement. A decrease in the fair value of a property is recognised in the income statement, unless the decrease is offset by a corresponding increase in value previously recognised directly in the item ‘Revaluation reserve’ under the bonus potential. In that case, the decrease in value is transferred directly as a reduction in the revaluation reserve.

Note 28 Acquisition of companies



In 2014, the ATP Group acquired two companies in Denmark and Belgium, respectively. The ATP Group acquired two companies in 2013.

On 12 May 2014, the ATP Group acquired 90 percent of the shares of the property company Galaxy Properties SA. The payment totalled DKK 43.8m. As at 12 May 2014, the net assets acquired amounted to DKK 43.8m. As at 30 September 2014, the ATP Group acquired 100 percent of the shares in Ejendomselskabet Borups Allé P/S at a total price of DKK 21.3m.The net assets acquired amounted to DKK 21.3m. These acquisitions had no significant impact on the ATP Group’s income statement or statement of financial position, either individually or collectively. Had the companies acquired been owned by the ATP Group throughout the year, the Group’s income statement and statement of financial position would not have been significantly impacted either.

!

§ Accounting policies Newly acquired or newly formed companies are recognised in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and the date of formation, respectively. The date of acquisition is the time at which control of the company is actually acquired. Companies that are sold or disposed of are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income until the date of sale and disposal, respectively. On the acquisition of new companies at which the Group achieves a controlling interest in the acquired company, the purchase method is applied under which the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the newly acquired companies are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. The acquisition payment for a company is the fair value of the payment made for the acquired company. If the determination of the payment is conditional upon one or more future events, these events are recognised at the fair value thereof at the date of acquisition. Expenses related to the acquisition are recognised in the income statement when incurred.

A positive balance (goodwill) between, on the one hand, the acquisition payment for the acquired company and the fair value of equity investments previously acquired and, on the other hand, the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised under intangible assets and tested for impairment at least once a year. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, it is written down to the lower recoverable amount, see note 26.

Under certain conditions, the ATP Group is not subject to income tax on the activities of its subsidiaries ATP Ejendomme A/S and

Ejendomsselskabet Vangede A/S as of and including 2001. If the conditions for tax exemption are not met, provisions are made for both current and deferred tax in the company. In 2014, ATP Ejendomme A/S and Ejendomsselskabet Vangede A/S met the conditions for tax exemption. ATP has joint VAT registration with a number of subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable for the payment of VAT and payroll tax included in the joint registration for VAT.

!

§ Accounting policies Decisions regarding the accounting treatment of contingent assets and liabilities are based on an assessment of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. If it is almost certain that a future economic benefit will flow to the ATP Group, the asset and the related income are recognised. If, on the other hand, it is probable that a future economic benefit will flow from the ATP Group when discharging the liability, the contingency is recognised as a liability. Where it is not possible to estimate an amount with sufficient certainty, or it is not possible to estimate the outcome of a given matter, information to this effect will be provided. Decisions relating to such matters may generate realised profits or losses in future accounting periods that exceed the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
