ANNUAL REPORT 2019 – BOSKALIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019 L E 19 -- BOSKALIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019 29.1.3 MARKET RISK Market risk concerns the risk that Group income or the value of investments in financial instruments is adversely affected by changes in market prices, such as currency exchange rates, interest rates and fuel prices. The objective of managing market risks is to keep the market risk position within acceptable boundaries while achieving the best possible return. Currency risk The presentation currency of the Group is the euro. A number of Group companies (the most important of which being Dockwise) and substantial joint ventures and associates (Smit Lamnalco, Keppel Smit Towage, Asian Lift and up to the sale; Saam Smit Towage) have other functional currencies than the euro. The main other currency is the US dollar (the functional currency of the Dockwise, Smit Lamnalco and up to the sale; Saam Smit Towage) and to a lesser extent the Pound Sterling and Singapore dollar. The revenue and expenses of these companies are largely or entirely based on their functional currency, other than the euro. In 2019 Group companies, joint ventures and associates with a functional currency other than the euro contributed approximately 30% (2018: 20%) to Group revenue, 35% (2018: 35%) to the operating result excluding impairment charges and 30% (2018: 30%) to EBITDA. The Board of Management has defined a policy to control foreign currency risk based on the hedging by Group companies of material transactions in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. The policy is that these Group companies hedge any material currency risks resulting from operational transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. This is mainly relevant for Group companies involved in dredging or offshore energy projects. The functional currency of a large part of the activities of Group companies is the euro. The expenses of these companies are mainly presented in euros and to a lesser extent in the local currency of the country in which the activities are undertaken. The Group contracts projects mainly in euro, US dollar, Pound Sterling and other currencies pegged to the US dollar. The Group only uses derivative financial instruments to hedge underlying business transactions, mainly future cash flows from contracted projects. In most cases forward currency contracts are used to hedge foreign currency cash flows. Also, cash / bank overdraft balances are sometimes used to hedge currency exposures from future cash flows. The same currency and quantity are designated to the hedge, resulting in
