Sensitivity analysis
If interest rate levels had been 1 percentage point higher/lower, with unchanged fixed-interest terms and volumes in the net debt, interest expenses for the period would have been SEK 123m (83; 103) higher/lower. Sensitivity analysis calculations have been performed on the risk to which Essity was exposed at December 31, 2018 using assumptions on market movements that are regarded as reasonably possible in one year’s time.
For a description of the methods used by Essity to manage its interest rate risk, refer to the Risks and risk management section.
