Part Andreas Schmidt I Cost reduction & improving balance sheet I Real estate portfolio & participations I Accounting standard change 1 2Change of reporting standard and of SIX segment 3 4Conclusions 5 Higher transparency: The proportional consolidation would replace the existing complicated consolidation structures ( (combined f consolidation with minority part and full equity consolidation) and would give a more realistic in view of the P+S partnership and the Zanox JV. Complexity & cost reduction: IFRS continues to increase its complexity and Swiss GAAP FER has become the more appropriate standard for a mid-sized company such as PubliGroupe. Impact of accounting: The major accounting impact will be the proportional consolidation of local.ch and Zanox. In addition, the change of the accounting treatment of acquisitions (depreciation of goodwill at acquisition) will impact balance sheet and P&L. Several other companies have done the move: Several companies have previously made this shift from IFRS to Swiss GAAP FER without any adverse external effect. The SIX domestic segment is well respected by the stock market .119
