''Financial reporting''.
'Outturn' market rates are the rates or prices which actually occur in the relevant market - in other words the rates which 'turn out' to be the case in the market.
Outturn market rates may be compared with, for example, forecast rates, expected rates, or hedged rates.  


For example if hedging a borrowing with an interest rate option with a strike price of 6%.
In financial reporting, primary statements are the main accounting statements required to be presented.  
At an outturn market rate of 8% the borrower's option would be exercised (and pay out to the holder assuming it was cash-settled).
At an outturn market rate of 5% the borrower's option would lapse worthless.


Outturn rates in this sense are related to - but different from - the all-in hedged rates achieved. The ''hedged rate achieved'' means the total income or expense resulting, taking account both of the underlying exposure and of the hedging instrument.


So continuing the same example, and assuming an option premium paid of 0.5%.
These normally include statements of:


i. At an outturn rate of 5%, the hedged rate borrowing achieved = 5% market rate + 0.5% option premium = 5.5%.
* Financial position (balance sheet).
* Comprehensive income (profit or loss).
* Changes in equity.
* Cash flows.


ii. At an outturn rate of 8%, the hedged borrowing rate achieved = 6% option strike price + 0.5% option premium = 6.5%.

Financial reporting.

In financial reporting, primary statements are the main accounting statements required to be presented.


These normally include statements of:

  • Financial position (balance sheet).
  • Comprehensive income (profit or loss).
  • Changes in equity.
  • Cash flows.


The primary statements are supported by notes providing additional and more detailed financial information.


The names of the primary financial statements are not normally mandatory, and they also differ according the accounting regime under which an entity is reporting.


Comprehensive income and profit or loss

Comprehensive income includes both:

  • Profit or loss for the period; and
  • Other comprehensive income for the period.


Many entities report their profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two separate statements.

In these cases, there are FIVE primary financial statements: cash flows, changes in equity, comprehensive income, financial position, and profit or loss.


The statement of profit or loss is also known as the income statement.
