Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, rebates and value added tax. It comprises revenue from the sale of valves, actuators, instrumentation and associated process control equipment and, where applicable, the provision of related services.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of valves, actuators, instrumentation and other process control equipment is recognised when control of the goods has passed to the customer, which is generally on dispatch of the goods to the customer in accordance with the contractual terms of sale. Revenue is recognised only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Where services are provided, including installation, commissioning, calibration and technical support services, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the stage of completion of the service contract at the reporting date. The stage of completion is measured by reference to costs incurred as a proportion of total estimated contract costs. Where the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of recoverable costs incurred.
