Accounting policies
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The net realisable value corresponds to the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling expenses.
Its valuation generally follows the last acquisition price, which, given the high inventory turnover in the Group’s operations, does not differ materially from what would be determined using the FIFO (First In, First Out) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, and other direct costs.
