4.4 Net financing costs 
 
Keeping it simple . . . 
 
This section details the interest income generated on the Group's cash and other financial assets and the interest expense
incurred on borrowings and other financial liabilities. 
 
In reporting 'adjusted profit', the Group adjusts net financing costs to exclude mark-to-market movements on interest rate
and foreign exchange derivatives, gains/losses on bond buybacks, net pension interest, interest and fair value movements in
acquisition-related liabilities and other financing costs. 
 
Read more on our rationale for adjustments made to financing costs in the Financial and Performance Review. 
 
Accounting policies 
 
Net financing costs comprise interest income on funds invested, gains/losses on the disposal of financial instruments,
changes in the fair value of financial instruments, interest expense on borrowings and finance leases, unwinding of the
discount on provisions, unwinding of the discount on liabilities to non-controlling interest, foreign exchange
gains/losses, and imputed interest on pension assets and liabilities. Interest income and expense is recognised as it
accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. 
 
Net financing costs 
 
Net financing costs can be analysed as follows: 
 
                                                                                         2014   2013

As detailed in note 4.1, losses on early settlement of £30 million (2013: £61 million) were incurred as a result of the
remaining repurchase of the £62 million 2019 bilateral loan. 
 
Interest on financial liabilities relates to the interest incurred on the Group's borrowings in the year. 
 
Other finance income primarily relates to acquisition-related contingent liabilities, where estimates of the future
performance against stretch targets is reassessed, resulting in adjustments to the related put option liabilities and
contingent consideration are required. Other finance expense includes the amortisation of facility commitment and upfront
fees.

4.5 Fair value hierarchy 
 
Keeping it simple . . . 
 
The financial instruments included on the ITV statement of financial position are measured at either fair value or
amortised cost. The measurement of this fair value can in some cases be subjective, and can depend on the inputs used in
the calculations. ITV generally uses external valuations using market inputs or market values (e.g. external share prices).
The different valuation methods are called 'hierarchies' and are described below. 
 
The tables below set out the financial instruments included on the ITV statement of financial position at 'fair value'.

Level 1 
 
Fair values are measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
 
Level 2 
 
Fair values are measured using inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability either directly or indirectly. 
 
Interest rate swaps and options are accounted for at their fair value based upon termination prices. Forward foreign
exchange contracts are accounted for at the difference between the contract exchange rate and the quoted forward exchange
rate at the reporting date. 
 
Level 3 
 
Fair values are measured using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. 
 
Contingent consideration is the Group's only financial instrument classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As
noted in the accounting policy section of note 3.3, the key assumptions taken into consideration when measuring this
acquisition-related liability are the performance expectations of the acquisition and a discount rate that reflects the
size and nature of the new business. There is no reasonable change in discount rate or performance targets that would give
rise to a material change in the liability at year end. 
 
The table below summarises the key movement in the contingent consideration during the year.

4.7 Share-based compensation 
 
Keeping it simple . . . 
 
The Group utilises share award schemes as part of its employee remuneration packages, and therefore operates a number of
share-based compensation schemes, namely the Deferred Share Award (DSA), Performance Share Plan (PSP), Long Term Incentive
Plan (LTIP) and Save As You Earn (SAYE) schemes. 
 
A transaction will be classed as share-based compensation where the Group receives services from employees and pays for
these in shares or similar equity instruments. If the Group incurs a liability whose amount is based on the price or value
of the Group's shares then this will also fall under a share-based transaction
