In the year under review, IT hardware was obtained under an operating lease as part of the move to outsource some standardised IT services. The relevant contracts have a term of three years with the option for the Repower Group to extend for a further three years. A purchase option applies in the event of premature contract termination. Future minimum lease payments for the residual contract term amount to CHF 3 million (previous year: CHF 2.4 million), of which CHF 1.6 million (previous year: CHF 1.2 million) falls due within one year.
