Net gains and losses on financial instruments mainly include measurement results from currency translation, fair value adjustments, impairments and reversals of impairments as well as the recognition of premiums and discounts. Dividends and interest are not recognized in the net gains and losses on financial instruments, except for dividends and interest in the category “held for trading”. At Merck, the category “held for trading” only includes derivatives not in a hedging relationship.

The net gains and losses on financial instruments by category on the reporting date were as follows:

In 2013, foreign exchange gains of € 26.0 million resulting from receivables and payables in operating business, their economic hedging, as well as hedging of forecast transactions in operating business were recorded (2012: losses of € 60.4 million). Foreign exchange losses of € 4.3 million resulting from financial balance sheet items, their economic hedging as well as fair value fluctuations of option contracts to hedge forecast transactions were recorded (2012: gains of € 11.2 million).

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on the official market prices and market values quoted on the balance sheet date (Level 1 assets and liabilities) as well as mathematical calculation models with inputs observable in the market on the balance sheet date (Level 2 assets and liabilities). Level 1 assets comprise stocks and bonds and are classified as “available-for-sale”, Level 1 liabilities comprise issued bonds and are classified as “other liabilities”. Level 2 assets and liabilities are primarily liabilities to banks classified as “other liabilities”, interest-bearing securities classified as “available-for-sale” as well as derivatives with and without hedging relationships. The fair value of interest-bearing securities is determined by discounting future cash flows using market interest rates. The fair value measurement of forward exchange contracts and currency options uses spot and forward rates as well as foreign exchange volatilities applying recognized mathematical principles. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined with standard market valuation models using interest rate curves available in the market.

The fair values of the financial instruments disclosed in the balance sheet and the fair values deviating substantially from the carrying amount were determined as follows:

From an economic perspective, netting is only possible at Merck with derivatives. This possibility results from the framework agreements on derivatives trading which Merck enters into with commercial banks. However, Merck does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities in its balance sheet.
