SRV Group Plc changes financial reporting of associated company and joint venture form of investments

SRV Group Plc is changing the way it presents its associated company and joint venture form of investments in the consolidated balance sheet. In future, the company will present investments consolidated by the equity method as separate components in the non-current assets. Previously, these have been presented as inventories or other non-current financial assets, depending on the nature of the investment. Shares in associated companies and joint ventures amounted to EUR 67.8 million on 31 December 2013 and EUR 31.5 million on 31 December 2012. The reclassification has no impact on the company’s result, total assets or the key figures presented in the company’s financial statements. The reclassification causes a change in the cash flow statement only between net cash flow from operating activities and net cash flow from investing activities.

The company has clarified the presentation of these investments during the fourth quarter due to amended IFRS standards. The company believes that the change in presentation clarifies its balance sheet structure such that projects in which it has significant influence but no control are presented in accordance with IFRS standards as associated companies in non-current assets.

SRV Group Plc invests in international construction projects together with other investors utilising associated companies or joint ventures. The objective of these structures is to ensure sufficient capital for different projects as well as to reduce the weighting of individual projects from a risk perspective in SRV Group’s balance sheet.

With this release, SRV Group Plc publishes comparison figures for 2013. The data are unaudited.
