Media Release
Bronschhofen, June 17, 2024 - Cicor Technologies Ltd. (SIX Swiss
Exchange: CICN) changes the accounting policy for the treatment
of Goodwill in the consolidated financial statements.
In recent years, it has become standard practice for companies
applying Swiss GAAP FER to offset goodwill against equity. For
this reason, and to facilitate comparability with other stock
listed companies, the Board of Directors of Cicor Technologies
Ltd. (Cicor) has decided that, from January 1, 2024, goodwill
from acquisitions will be offset directly against shareholders'
equity at the time of acquisition, using the accounting policy
choice provided in Swiss GAAP FER 30 'Consolidated financial
statements'. This is the consequence of the successful
implementation of Cicor's growth strategy through acquisitions.
The impact of theoretical capitalization and amortization,
including any impairment arising from the assessment of
recoverability, will be disclosed in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
Previously goodwill was capitalized and amortized over its
estimated useful life of five years. As this is a change in
accounting policy, prior periods will be restated accordingly.
Cicor previously reported the alternative performance measures
'Core EBIT', 'Core net profit' and 'Core earnings per share',
which excluded the amortization of goodwill and other intangible
assets that were capitalized as part of an acquisition. These
Core results will no longer be reported. These changes in
financial reporting will simplify the communication with
stakeholders and will be applied for the first time in the
half-year report 2024 to be published on July 24, 2024.
The table below shows the main changes following application the
new accounting policy for goodwill on the consolidated financial
statements for the first six and the full twelve months 2023:
