Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements31 December 2024ESR Group Limited Annual Report 2024141STRATEGIC REPORTSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTS2.4MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)Business combinations and goodwill (continued)Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cashgenerating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained.Fair value measurementThe Group measures its investment properties, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at 31 December 2024 and 2023. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant%u2019s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:Level 1 %u2013 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2 %u2013 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observableLevel 3 %u2013 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservableFor assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at 31 December 2024 and 2023.
