Economy is key

Sandro Macciacchini Chief Financial Officer

First-half 2015: financial report


Significant changes to the consolidated companies and activities • On 25 March 2015, Tamedia sold its 100 per cent stake in the Aktiengesellschaft des

Winterthurer Stadtanzeiger AG to Zürcher Oberland Medien AG. Pro memoria: significant changes in the previous year • On 28 July 2014, Tamedia AG acquired a 88 per cent holding in Trendsales ApS,

Copenhagen. • Tamedia acquired a further 51 per cent holding in Doodle AG on 11 November 2014,

thus increasing its stake in the company to 100 per cent.

Discontinued operations There were no significant discontinued operations in the period under review.

Changes in reporting / restatement of first-half 2014

• The Print Regional and Print National are now referred to as the Publishing Regional and Publishing National business divisions respectively. Publishing Regional and Publishing National now also cover the revenue and net income of the digital publishing offerings that were previously assigned to the Digital business division.

30

Notes on first-half 2015 (1/2)


Changes in reporting / restatement of first-half 2014 (continued) • The net income share of associated companies and joint ventures is now reported as

part of EBITDA in the consolidated income statement and the segment information. The dividends of associated companies and joint ventures are now reported as cash flow from trading activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.

• The effect of IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” is now shown outside the business segments in the segment information. The segments’ operating expenses only contain the standard employer contributions as employee benefit expenses. The difference between employer contributions and employee benefit expenses is shown in the elimination column in accordance with IAS 19.

• The prior-period figures in the consolidated income statement, the segment information and the consolidated cash flow statement were subsequently adjusted as a result of the restatement. The restatement has no effect on the consolidated balance sheet, earnings per share or the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income.

Changes in the accounting standard No new or revised standards or interpretations were introduced in the period under review.
