Accounting policies
Trade receivables represent On’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional and only a passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due.

Trade receivables are initially recorded at original invoice amount and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowance calculated based on the expected credit loss (ECL) model. On applies the simplified approach to measure credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for trade receivables. This approach considers historical credit loss experience as well as future expectations.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The charges to the income statement are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Relevant judgments and accounting estimates
Expected credit losses (ECL’s) on trade receivables are calculated based on historical loss rates per region and adjusted by forward-looking quantitative and qualitative adjusted by forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information such as the global economy outlook (real GDP growth). In addition, appraisals and data used by the internal planning department are taken into consideration.

Individual allowances and write-offs (partially or fully) on trade receivables are applied if there are objective indications for missing collectability such as legal procedures, insolvency or bankruptcy.
