CapitaLand Ascott Trust - Annual Report 2025

Annual Report 2025 153 Management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as valuation of investment property by external property valuers, is used to measure fair values, then management assesses and documents the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of FRSs/SFRS(I)s, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. The valuation of significant assets and their financial impact are discussed by the ARC and Board of Directors of the Managers. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group and the Stapled Group use observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement (with Level 3 being the lowest). The CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group and the Stapled Group recognise transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 32 – financial instruments. 2.5 Adoption of new accounting standards and amendments The CapitaLand Ascott REIT Group, the CapitaLand Ascott BT Group and the Stapled Group have applied the following FRSs/SFRS(I)s, amendments to and interpretations of FRSs/SFRS(I)s for the first time for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2025: • SFRS(I) 1-21: Lack of Exchangeability. The adoption of the above new and amended accounting standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements. 2 Basis of Preparation (continued) 2.4 Use of estimates and judgements (continued) Measurement of fair values (continued)
