By means of derivative contracts, corporate-level borrowings are<br />

converted to lending currencies. In Financial Services, assets should<br />

be financed by liabilities in the same currency. <strong>Scania</strong>’s borrowings in<br />

variou s currencies excluding and including currency derivatives can be<br />

seen in the table “Borrowings” in the section on interest rate risk.<br />

At the end of <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong>’s net assets in foreign currencies<br />

amounte d to SEK 16,400 m. (13,150 and 12,250, respectively). The net<br />

foreign assets of subsidiaries are normally not hedged. To the extent<br />

subsidiaries have significant net monetary assets in functional currencies,<br />

however, they may be hedged. At year-end <strong>2011</strong> no foreign net<br />

assets were hedged (0 and 0, respectively).<br />

INTEREST RATE RISK<br />

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will<br />

adver sely affect cash flow or the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.<br />

For <strong>Scania</strong>’s assets and liabilities that carry variable interest rates,<br />

a change in market interest rates has a direct effect on cash flow, while<br />

for fixed-interest assets and liabilities, the fair value of the portfolio is<br />

instead affected. To manage interest rate risks, <strong>Scania</strong> primarily uses<br />

interest rate derivatives in the form of interest rate swap agreements.<br />

At year-end <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>Scania</strong>’s interest-bearing assets mainly consisted<br />

of assets in Financial Services and of short-term investments and cash<br />

and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing liabilities consisted mainly of<br />

loans, to a great extent intended to fund lending in Financial Services<br />

operations and to a lesser extent to fund working capital in Vehicles<br />

and Services.<br />

Interest rate risk in Vehicles and Services<br />

Borrowings in Vehicles and Services are mainly used for funding of<br />

workin g capital. To match the turnover rate of working capital, a short<br />

interest rate refixing period is used in the borrowing portfolio. <strong>Scania</strong>’ s<br />

policy concerning interest rate risks in the Vehicles and Services<br />

segment is that the interest rate refixing period on its net debt should<br />

normally be 6 months, but that divergences are allowed in the range<br />

between 0 and 24 months.<br />

Net cash in Vehicles and Services was SEK 10,615 m. (7,700<br />

and –4,038, respectively) at year-end <strong>2011</strong>. The borrowing portfolio<br />

amounte d to SEK 1,418 m. (2,909 and 10,204, respectively) and the<br />

average interest rate refixing period for this portfolio was less than<br />

6 (6 and 6, respectively) months. Short-term investments and cash<br />

and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 11,468 m. (9,552 and 6,648,<br />

respectively) and the average interest rate refixing period on these<br />

assets was less than 1 (1 and 1, respectively) month. The net cash<br />

also includes derivatives that hedge borrowings with a net value of<br />

SEK 565 m. (1,057 and –482, respectively).<br />

Given the same loan liabilities, short-term investments, cash and<br />

cash equivalents and interest rate refixing periods as at year-end <strong>2011</strong>,<br />

a change in market interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percentage<br />

point) would change the interest expenses in Vehicles and Services<br />

by about SEK 15 m. (30 and 85, respectively) and interest income by<br />

about SEK 110 m. (95 and 65, respectively) on an annual basis.<br />
