Other Comprehensive Income

25. Other Comprehensive Income

The "Other Comprehensive Income" line balances comprise the amounts, net of the corresponding tax effects, of adjustments to assets and liabilities temporarily recognized in equity, as presented in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until they are extinguished or realized, at which point they are definitively recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The values arising from subsidiaries, interest in associates, and joint ventures are presented, line by line, in the appropriate line items according to their nature.

It is important to note that the consolidated statements of comprehensive income include changes in the "Other Comprehensive Income" line item, as follows:

-   Adjustment to fair value - Gains/(Losses): this includes the net income amount, after deducting expenses incurred during the year, recognized directly in equity. The amounts recognized in equity for the year remain in this line item, even if they are transferred to the income statement or to the initial carrying amount of assets or liabilities, or reclassified to another line item within the same year.

-   Amounts transferred to the income statement: these include the revaluation gains and losses previously recognized in equity, even if within the same fiscal year, which are recognized in the income statement.

-   Amounts transferred to the initial carrying amount of the hedged item: these include the revaluation gains and losses previously recognized in equity, even if within the same fiscal year, which are recognized in the initial carrying amount of assets or liabilities as a result of cash flow hedges.

-   Other reclassifications: these include the value of transfers made during the year among various fair value adjustment items.

In the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, "Other Comprehensive Income" is recognized on a gross basis, including amounts related to non-controlling interests, and the corresponding tax effect is presented in a separate line item, except for entities that apply the equity method of accounting, whose amounts are presented net of the tax effect.
