REPORT
To the Shareholders
Despite the challenges caused by the pandemic, the company continued its journey towards recovery, recording a revenue growth
of 12.2% versus 2020. This was achieved through undisrupted supply and availability of products, numeric distribution expansion
and innovation and renovation initiatives supported by investments behind the brands. Volume growth, cost savings initiatives
across the value chain and portfolio and pricing management contributed to the improvement in profitability.
Nestlé is a Good Food, Good Life company, and our Purpose – to unlock the power of food to enhance quality of life, today and
for generations to come – is embedded in everything we do. Despite the pandemic, we drove innovation to create products that
are right for consumers and positively contribute to public health and the environment. We adapted quickly and worked diligently
across the company which helped us stand out from the competition.
In 2021, we launched a number of products across various categories. We introduced a range of innovative coffee products in RTD
and 3in1, new sparkling drinks under our premium NESTLÉ FRUITA VITALS brand, and introduced a new PET single-serve format
for the premium Gold Range. Dairy brought in an exciting new launch in the form of EVERYDAY KASHMIRI CHAI and in Waters,
we added NESTLÉ PURE LIFE ACTIVE into 5-gallon format, owing to the encouraging response on ACTIVE 230ml SKU launch.
We introduced a breakthrough solution in NIDO GUFs Nutritods with No Added Sucrose along with affordable nutrition offerings in
growing-up formula and baby food categories. We also had a wide range of launches by Nestlé Professional, across the portfolio,
addressing the needs of our OOH customers.
We aim to continue driving category innovations that fulfill our consumer needs and desires.
Dividends:
In view of the financial performance of the company, the Board of Directors has recommended to pay final cash dividend of

BY THE CHAIRMAN
It gives me immense pleasure to present this report to the Shareholders of Nestlé Pakistan
Limited pertaining to the overall performance of the Board and the effectiveness of its role in
attaining the company’s aims and objectives.
The company has implemented a strong governance framework supportive of an effective and prudent management of business
matters, which is regarded as instrumental in achieving long-term success of the company.
During the year, the Board Committees continued to work with a great measure of proficiency. The Board as a whole has reviewed
the Annual Report and Financial Statements, and is pleased to confirm that in its view the report and financial statements, taken as
a whole, are fair, balanced, and understandable.
The Board carries out a review of its effectiveness and performance each year on a self-assessment basis. The Board Performance
assessment for the year was based on an evaluation of the integral components i.e. Strategic Planning, Board Composition, Board
Committees, Board Procedures, Board Interactions, Board and CEO’s Compensation, Board Information and Board & CEO’s
Effectiveness.
The Board of Directors of the company received agendas and supporting written material including follow up materials in
sufficient time prior to the Board and its Committee meetings. The Board meets frequently enough to adequately discharge its

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S
REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Nestlé Pakistan Limited
Review Report on the Statement of Compliance Contained in the Listed Companies
(Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019
We have reviewed the enclosed Statement of Compliance contained in the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance)
Regulations, 2019 (“the Regulations”), prepared by the Board of Directors of Nestlé Pakistan Limited (“the Company”) for the year
ended December 31, 2021 in accordance with the requirements of regulation 36 of the Regulations.
The responsibility for compliance with the Regulations is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is
to review whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the
Regulations and report if it does not and to highlight any non-compliance with the requirements of the Regulations. A review is
limited primarily to inquiries of the Company’s personnel and review of various documents prepared by the Company to comply
with the Regulations.
As a part of our audit of the financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal control
systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not required to consider whether the Board
of Directors’ statement on internal control covers all risks and controls or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal
controls, the Company’s corporate governance procedures and risks.
The Regulations require the Company to place before the Audit Committee, and upon recommendation of the Audit Committee,
place before the Board of Directors for their review and approval, its related party transactions. We are only required and have
ensured compliance of this requirement to the extent of the approval of the related party transactions by the Board of Directors
upon recommendation of the Audit Committee. We have not carried out procedures to assess and determine the Company’s
process for identification of related parties and that whether the related party transactions were undertaken at arm’s length price or
not.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance does not
appropriately reflect the Company’s compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements contained in the Regulations as
applicable to the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.

AGRICULTURE

Sustainability agenda is at the heart of the company. Nestlé Pakistan is supporting farmers in
replacing low-yield cows with high yield for sustainable dairy farming. In addition to cows, our
trained and highly motivated team provided technical assistance in farm constructions and
awareness of good farm practices.
Nestlé Pakistan keeps on exploring opportunities for the socio-economic benefits of the farmers
and minimizing the impact of climate change. We have been promoting alternate energy sources,
particularly amongst the dairy farmers. During 2021, Nestlé has contributed to installation of
solar systems at 10 dairy farms to introduce renewable energy for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and energy costs. If not handled properly, cow dung can also increase GHG emissions.
However, proper treatment of cow-dung through biodigester not only provides alternate energy
as biogas but also provides a good source of organic matter to our agricultural land. In 2021, we
supported 10 biogas digesters installation at various supplier farms. With cost and environmental
benefits, these farms with solar and biogas installations are also serving as a lighthouse in their
surrounding areas.
Pakistan is amongst the countries which have started facing adversities of climate change. Nestlé
Pakistan is not ignoring this challenge and contributing through innovation and partnerships with
key stakeholders. Nestlé together with its partners has developed a low-cost soil moisture sensor
that helps farmers to decide when, and when not to irrigate their crops. Our initial field estimates
have shown considerable water saving in irrigation with crop yield improvement. Until 2021,
we have installed 107 soil moisture sensors at various locations in the agriculture value chain.
These are not only helping farmers in saving irrigation but also serving as a lighthouse of efficient
irrigation system. Similarly, Nestlé Pakistan continued its support to farmers in drip irrigation. Until
2021, we have helped installation of drip irrigation at 198 acres of land in North Punjab.
While reducing the impact of greenhouse gases impact, we also explored ways for carbon
sequestration. This is an important element to aim net zero in the food value chain. Tree
plantation is one of the best ways to sequester carbon in the environment. For this, we have
donated around 60,000 moringa plants to our farmers. This will serve as a carbon sink as well as
provide a source of high-quality nutrition for cows. To further strengthen our knowledge, Nestlé
Pakistan has signed an understanding with the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to conduct
various studies on regenerative agriculture practices.
Nestlé is committed towards zero carbon. For an effective action plan, we need to gain
experience of various interventions implemented to reduce greenhouse gases under local
conditions. For this purpose, we are developing a dairy farm with maximum possible interventions
with aims to make it carbon neutral in the next few years.
While continuing our fruit and rice sourcing from Punjab, the Nestlé team is now working with
farmers in heavenly valleys of Gilgit Baltistan for fruit sourcing. During 2021, Nestlé Pakistan
sourced high-quality apples from Hunza, Nagar, and Ghizer valleys which are renowned for being
natural and where fruit trees are nourished with water from glaciers. The initiative is helping
farmers in reducing fruit waste, hence converting waste to value for farmers.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as applicable in Pakistan. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of Pakistan (the Code) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual report for the year ended
31 December 2021, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the unconsolidated financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed,
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and the Board of Directors for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the
accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of Companies Act, 2017(XIX of 2017)
and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as applicable
in Pakistan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
64
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as
a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide to the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Abdullah Fahad Masood.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
The Company is principally engaged in manufacturing, processing and sale of dairy, nutrition, beverages and food
products including imported products. Registered office (which is also the Head Office) of the Company is situated
at Babar Ali Foundation Building, 308-Upper Mall, Lahore. The Company has four manufacturing facilities located at
Sheikhupura, Kabirwala, Port Qasim Karachi and Islamabad.
– International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IASB”) and Islamic Financial Accounting Standards (“IFAS”) issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Pakistan as notified under the Companies Act 2017;
– Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from the IFRS or IFAS, the
provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates
are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in
the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The areas
where various assumptions and estimates that have a significant risk and result in material adjustments to the
Company’s financial statements or where judgments, that had the significant effect on the amounts that have
been recognized in the period, were exercised in application of accounting policies are as follows:
2.3.1 Judgements
Lease term
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods
covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an
option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease options that include extension and termination options. The Company applies
judgements in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether to exercise the option to renew or terminate
the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal
73
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
or termination. After the commencement period, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant
event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects the ability to exercise or not to exercise
the option to renew or to terminate.
Other areas, where estimates are involved to determine the amounts, are mentioned in their respective notes.
All financial assets or financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability
is initially measured at fair value. For an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its
acquisition or issue are added to its fair value. A receivable without a significant financing component is initially
measured at the transaction price.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its
business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the
first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
Amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated
as at FVTPL:
– it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
– its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized
cost is reduced by impairment losses, interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is recognized in statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost comprise of trade debts, long term loans, cash margin withheld by
banks against imports, advances to employees against salaries, other deposits, receivables and bank balances.
74
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
– it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets; and
– its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains
and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to
statement of profit or loss. However, the Company has no such instrument at the statement of financial position
date.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in statement of
profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net
gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. However, the Company has
no such instrument at the statement of financial position date.
On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the
requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly
reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend
income, are recognized in statement of profit or loss. However, the Company has no such instrument at the
statement of financial position date.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company
considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains
a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet
this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
– contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
– terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
– prepayment and extension features; and
– terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
75
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially
all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither
transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the
financial asset.
The Company might enter into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of financial
position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these
cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
Financial liabilities comprise of: long term and short term financing, lease liabilities, customer security deposits,
unclaimed dividend, trade and other payables and interest and markup accrued, and all are recognized at
amortized cost.
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or
expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the
modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms
is recognized at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount
extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is
recognized in statement of profit or loss.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are
possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected
over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). However,
in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external
information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before
taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there
is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
76
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
For trade debts and other receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs based
on lifetime expected credit losses. The provision matrix is initially based on the Company’s historical observed
default rates. The Company will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-
looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., gross domestic product and inflation) are
expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in the sector, the
historical default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated
and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed. The expected credit losses are recognized in the
statement of profit or loss. For long term loans to employees, the Company applies simplification under IFRS
9 as these financial assets have low credit risk. At every reporting date, the Company evaluates whether this
financial instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that
is available without undue cost or effort. For bank balances and cash margin, the Company applies a simplified
approach in calculating ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company reviews internal and
external information available for each bank balance to assess expected credit loss and the likelihood to receive
the outstanding contractual amount. The expected credit losses are recognized in the statement of profit or
loss.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets,
are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows
that largely are independent from other assets and groups.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating
units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce
the carrying amount of the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses on goodwill shall not
be reversed.
– Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or
liability or an unrecognised firm commitment;
– Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a
particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or
the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment; and
– Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
77
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge
relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the
risk being hedged and how the Company will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge
effectiveness reguirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio
is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness
requirements:
– There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
– The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic
relationship.
– The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged
item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company
actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below:
The Company uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in forecast
transactions and firm commitments. The ineffective portion relating to foreign currency contracts is recognised
as other expense.
The forward element is recognised in OCI and accumulated in a separate component of equity under cost of
hedging reserve.
The amounts accumulated in OCI are accounted for, depending on the nature of the underlying hedged
transaction. If the hedged transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item, the
amount accumulated in equity is removed from the separate component of equity and included in the initial
cost or other carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and will
not be recognised in OCI for the period. This also applies where the hedged forecast transaction of a non-
financial asset or non-financial liability subsequently becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge
accounting is applied.
For any other cash flow hedges, the amount accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.
If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI must remain
in accumulated OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will
be immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After discontinuation, once the
hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in accumulated OCI must be accounted for depending on the
nature of the underlying transaction as described above.
78
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
2.4.5 Taxation
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
2.4.5.1 Current
Provision of current tax is based on the taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing
law for taxation of income and the decisions of appellate authorities on certain cases issued in past. The charge
for current tax is calculated using prevailing tax rates or tax rates expected to apply to the profit for the year if
enacted after taking into account tax credits, rebates and exemptions, if any. The charge for current tax also
includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision for tax made in previous years arising from
assessments framed during the year for such years.
2.4.5.2 Deferred
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax
losses and tax credits can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside statement of
profit or loss is recognized outside statement of profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation
to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected
unit credit method. When calculation results in potential assets for the Company, the recognized asset is limited
to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reduction
in future contributions to the plan.
Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses, the return on
plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest) are recognized
immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company determines net interest expense / (income) on the
defined benefit obligation for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit, taking into account any change
in the net defined benefit obligation during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net
interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in statement of profit or
loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates
to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in statement of profit or loss.
The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement
occurs.
79
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate,
management considers the interest rates of government bonds, as set by Pakistan Society of Actuaries, and
interpolated linearly as needed along the yield curve to correspond with the expected term of the defined
benefit obligation.
2.4.7 Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. This assessment
involves the exercise of judgement about whether it depends on a specified asset, whether the Company
obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset, and whether the Company has the
right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date,
except for short term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low value items, which are expensed in the
statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payment that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) applicable in the market for such leases.
The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires
estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and
conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates)
when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and
remeasured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset) when there is a change in future lease
payments in case of renegotiation, changes of an index or rate or in case of reassessment of options.
At inception, the ROU asset comprises the initial lease liability, initial direct costs and the obligations to refurbish
the asset, less any incentives granted by the lessors. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease
term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an
indicator for impairment, as for owned assets.
80
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
2.4.10 Dividend
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial
statements in the period in which dividends are approved.
Depreciation is charged to statement of profit or loss, unless it is included in the carrying amount of another
asset, on straight line method whereby cost of an asset is written off over its estimated useful life at the rates
given in note 17.
Residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Depreciation on additions is charged from the month in which asset is capitalized / available for use, while no
depreciation is charged for the month in which asset is disposed off. Where an impairment loss is recognized,
the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount over its
estimated useful life. The estimates with respect to depreciable lives and pattern of flow of economic benefits
are based on the analysis of the management of the Company based on similar transactions in the past.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to statement
of profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense.
Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits
embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are charged to statement of profit or
loss as and when incurred.

2.4.13 Inventories
Inventories are valued as per below mentioned valuation basis:
2.4.13.4 Provision for obsolete spares and unusable raw and packing material
Provision for stores and spares and stock-in-trade is made on the basis of management’s estimate of net
realizable value and ageing analysis prepared on an item-by-item basis. Net realizable value calculations are
estimated based on last recently-held transactions and values expected to be recovered for sale in normal
course of business less an estimate for selling costs.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, net of returns,
amounts collected on behalf of third parties (sales taxes etc.), pricing allowances, other trade discounts, volume
rebates and couponing, price promotions to customers / consumers and any other consideration payable to

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risks (including currency risks, other price risks
and interest rate risks), credit risks and liquidity risks. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance.
The Company finances its operations through equity, borrowings and management of working capital with a view to
maintain an appropriate mix between various sources of finance to minimize risk. The Company follows an effective
cash management and planning policy and maintains flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
Market risks are managed by the Company through the adoption of appropriate policies to cover currency risks and
interest rate risks. The Company applies credit limits to its customers and obtains advances from them.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or
receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies.
The Company is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to
various currencies. Currently, the Company’s foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to the amounts
receivable from / payable to the foreign entities. The Company’s major exposure to currency risk is as follows:
Assets
Foreign currency bank accounts USD 438,783 60,452
Cash in hand USD 29,915 29,915

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
41.1.1.1 The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year :
2021 2020
If the functional currency, at reporting date, had increased by 10% against the foreign currencies with all other
variables held constant, the impact on profit before taxation would have been as follows:
2021
(Rupees in 000) 2020
The effect may be respectively lower / higher, mainly as a result of exchange gains / losses on translation of
foreign exchange denominated financial instruments.
Currency risk sensitivity to foreign exchange movements has been calculated on a symmetric basis.
Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether
those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors
affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Significant interest rate risk exposures are primarily managed by
a mix of borrowings at fixed and variable interest rates.
115
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments is:
2021
(Rupees in 000) 2020
The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss. Therefore, a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss of the Company.
If interest rates on loans from borrowings from banks, at the year end date, fluctuate by 100 bps higher / lower
with all other variables, in particularly foreign exchange rates held constant, profit before taxation for the year
and 2020 would have been affected as follows:
2021
(Rupees in 000) 2020
The effect may be higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower mark-up income on floating rate loans /
investments.
The sensitivity analysis prepared is not necessarily indicative of the effects on the profit for the year and assets
/ liabilities of the Company.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
Underlying the definition of fair value is the presumption that the Company is a going concern and there is no
intention or requirement to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse
terms.
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly
available from an exchange dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those
prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
116
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ requires the company to analyze assets carried at fair value by valuation
method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
– Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
– Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset either directly
(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)
– Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unadjusted) inputs
(Level 3)
Transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period during
which the changes have occurred.
The following table shows the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities. None of them are
currently measured at fair value since their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of their fair value
except for foreign exchange forward contracts.

defined above.

The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximate their
fair values. Fair value is determined on the basis of objective evidence at each reporting date and is measured
in accordance with IFRS 13.
Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other
party by failing to discharge an obligation. Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its long term loans,
trade debts, advances, deposits and other receivables and balances at banks. The Company manages its credit
risk by the following methods:
118
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:
2021
(Rupees in 000) 2020
Particulars
Trade debts 923,484 1,930,333
Advances, deposits and other receivables 1,339,083 736,453
Long term loans 276,658 313,269
Bank balances 737,248 782,886
3,276,473 3,762,941
The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure “Expected Credit Losses” (ECL) of trade debtors. Overdue
balances at the reporting date are immaterial and impact of application of ECL model, if any, is reflected in the
provision for doubtful debts recognized.
The Company does not believe it is exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over
several institutions and customers. However to manage any possible exposure the Company applies approved
credit limits to its customers.
The Company obtains crossed cheques from employees of the full loan amount in the name of the Company
without mentioning any date as part of collateral. The Company has assessed, based on historical experience
and available securities, that the expected credit loss associated with loans to employees is trivial and therefore
no impairment charge has been accounted for.
Advances and other receivables mainly comprise of cash margin withheld by banks against imports and
other deposits. The Company has assessed, based on historical experience and available securities, that the
expected credit loss associated with these financial assets is trivial and therefore no impairment charge has
been accounted for.
119
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit
ratings. The Company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is
spread over a large number of counter parties The credit quality of cash and bank balances that are neither
past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings or to historical information about
counterparty default rate:
Short Term Long Term Agency Short Term Long Term Agency
Due to the Company’s long standing business relationships with these counterparties and after giving due
consideration to their strong financial standing, management does not expect non performance by these
counter parties on their obligations to the Company. Accordingly, the credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions. For this purpose the
Company has sufficient running finance facilities available from various commercial banks to meet its liquidity
requirements. Further, liquidity position of the Company is closely monitored through budgets, cash flow
projections and comparison with actual results by the Board.

Enabling healthier and happier lives
2030 Global Ambition: Help 50 million children lead healthier lives
Food is not just a source of nutrition, it also brings us together as families or friends. The United Nations
believes the food industry has a vital role to play in helping enable healthier lives. At Nestlé, we believe this
with the aim to help shape a better and healthier world. This was how we started more than 150 years ago
when our founder Henri Nestlé created an infant cereal that saved the life of a child.
Nestlé is building, sharing and applying its nutritional knowledge, and contributing to a healthier future.
We firmly believe that nutrition and hydration have a role to play in helping manage and treat diseases and
we have teams of researchers focused on how to achieve this.
Nestlé for Healthier Kids
Pakistan has been reported to have one of the highest prevalences of child malnutrition compared to
other developing countries. A focus on the quality of diet and nutrition awareness is extremely essential to
prevent stunting, wasting and other forms of malnutrition.
This was the impetus behind the launch of Nestlé for Healthier Kids (N4HK) program in Pakistan in 2010.
Nestlé for Healthier Kids is a global initiative which empowers parents, caregivers, and educators to foster
healthier eating, drinking and lifestyle habits among school-age children. The program equips children
with nutrition education to enable them to make better nutrition decisions from an early age to promote a
healthier future.
The program supports public health objectives and empowers schools to improve nutrition knowledge and
promote healthy habits among children through teaching the importance of balancing good nutrition and
healthy hydration with an active lifestyle.
To date, the program in Pakistan has educated more than 285,000 children in rural, suburban and urban
areas, and has trained over 1,500 teachers on nutrition in 340 schools.
The program has partnerships nationwide and covers schools across Punjab, Islamabad Capital Territory,
Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and aspires to reach more areas. The program works in collaboration
with 10 educational partners from the development, private and public sectors, including Care Foundation,
Punjab Workers Welfare Board, Trust for Education and Development of Deserving Students (TEDDS),
and Zindagi Trust to name a few. Nestlé for Healthier Kids is a curriculum-based program, comprising of a
book designed by Oxford University Press (in both English and Urdu), which provides basic knowledge on
nutrition and encourages physical activity and the intake of a balanced diet.
Testimonial
“Education is a powerful tool for ensuring that children understand the value of nutrition and physical
activity and continue leading healthy lives as they grow older. It’s important to educate children about the
importance of healthy habits and an active lifestyle and raise awareness among those who are around
children.”

Nutrition Support Program
Under the Nutrition Support Program, Nestlé Pakistan
regularly provides milk, to approximately 20,000
children and underprivileged people who suffer from key
micronutrient deficiencies in urban, semi-urban and rural
areas. The children that attend the educational institutes
we support are poor and their parents cannot afford to
fulfill their nutritional needs. The schools are selected after
giving due consideration to the profile of the managing
organization to ensure that the benefits of this program
reach those who need it most. The initiative is geared
to support school-going children whose parents are
unable to provide them with a serving of milk to fulfill their
nutritional needs. The program also supports organizations
working with destitute women as well as social welfare
organizations for sports, culture, and differently-abled
children.
Fortified Products
Nestlé is committed to play its role to help reduce
micronutrient deficiencies on a global scale. In Pakistan,
we are fortifying products with essential micronutrients
that combat the impact of micronutrient deficiencies on
Pakistan’s population. In 2021, approximately 2.54 billion
fortified servings were served across the country.

OUR COMMUNITIES
Helping develop thriving, resilient communities
2030 Global Ambition: Help to improve 30 million livelihoods in communities
directly connected to our business activities.
Nestlé began as a family business in a small town over 150 years ago. This local approach still informs
everything we do. We are part of the local communities where our factories and offices are based. But
being part of a community brings responsibility too. It means respecting the rights of those who work for
us and with us wherever we operate.
The main premise of Nestlé BISP Rural Women Sales Program was to work
for the upliftment of the rural women of Pakistan and put them on the path to
prosperity. There is no ‘magic bullet’ to women empowerment and central to
this tenet, is the acknowledgment that long-term prosperity is only possible
when women are provided a level playing field to achieve their potential.
To date, this program has enrolled over 1900 BISP beneficiaries as Sales
Agents. Nestlé Pakistan has also partnered with Akhuwat Pakistan (the
largest interest-free microfinance program) whereby, improving access to
finance, micro-loans worth PKR 2 million have been disbursed as part of this
program to many women looking to scale their business.
This program has shown that economic upliftment can lead to wider social
empowerment. Traditionally, women of rural Pakistan have been unable to
participate in any structured economic activity. This intervention has helped
these women get into the business of retail hence paving the way for
economic empowerment. Furthermore, this project is allowing for greater
financial inclusion, by improving financial access for these ‘poorest of the
poor’ women.

them into our business value chain.
The results of our endeavors have been quite fruitful, as the partner farms have shown considerable improvement both in
the quality and quantity of Chaunsa mangoes.
We have been procuring good quality pulp of Chaunsa mango from these farmers for past three years that is used for our
