Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated for impairment testing purposes to CGUs which reflect how it is monitored
for internal management purposes, namely the various segments of the group. The carrying amount of goodwill was subject to an annual
impairment test using either the fair value less costs to sell method or the discounted cash flow method. The recoverable amount was
determined by using the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the discounted cash flow for each CGU.
The following impairments were recorded during the year:
- £9 million (R155,1 million) (2016: £nil) was recorded against goodwill relating to PCL Transport 24/7 Limited.
- £1,2 million (R21,1 million) (2016: £nil) was recorded against goodwill relating to Aktaes Holdings AS.
Fair value less costs to sell method
The calculations used projected annualised earnings based on actual operating results. A price earnings multiple was applied to obtain
the recoverable amount for each business unit. The earnings yields are considered to be consistent with similar companies within the
industry and geographic segments. An average price earnings multiple of 11,4 (2016: 12,7) was used in the valuation of Bidfood Europe,
11,5 (2016: 12,9) for Bidfood United Kingdom, 13,0 (2016: 13,0) for Bidfood Australasia, and 11,7 (2016: 14,1) for Bidfood Emerging
Markets.
Discounted cash flow method
The table below illustrates the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), cash flow growth, and terminal growth rates that were used in the
discounted cash flow valuations for each of the CGUs.

With the exception of the impairments noted for PCL Transport 24/7 Limited and Aktaes Holdings AS, other CGU valuations resulted in
significant surpluses over carrying values of the CGUs and thus the directors believe that a reasonably possible change in the WACC, cash
flow growth, terminal growth rates and PE multiples, would not result in an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill. The valuation method
is consistent with that used in the prior years and is considered a level 3 type valuation in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. |
