Since the beginning of 2017 the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER. The comparative figures were adjusted retroactively to reflect the change to Swiss GAAP FER.

Payments of TCHF 4,612 received from disposals of group companies relate to a payment on account received on an adjustment in the purchase price for Repower’s high-voltage grid, which was transferred to Swissgrid in 2013. The payment on account received was classified as a liability.

Prior to the liquidation of group company SEI S.p.A. during the 2016 financial year, the shareholders waived the claims vis-à-vis the company and thus provided it with TCHF 8,934 in finance not affecting cash flows from the group’s point of view.
