There is no waiver of use of the employer contribution reserve. In the reporting year, no pension fund contributions were offset against the employer contribution reserve (previous year: CHF 16.4 million). The change of CHF 0.8 million results from the positive performance on the assets of the employer contribution reserve (previous year: CHF 1.9 million), which was allocated to financial income. In the previous year, the employer contribution reserve decreased by CHF 2.3 million due to divestments of business units.

Accounting principles

The pension obligations of the group companies for retirement, death or disability are based on the regulations and practices applicable in the respective countries. Contributions are made on an ongoing basis. The income statement includes the pension and benefit payments and outstanding benefits during the accounting period and the regular contributions to the various pension funds. The private pension plans in Switzerland are designed to build up retirement assets with conversion into fixed retirement pensions and with supplementary risk benefits. Actual economic effects of pension plans on the company are calculated as of the balance sheet date. An economic benefit is capitalized if it will be used for the company’s future pension expenses. An economic obligation is recognized as a liability if the conditions for recognizing a provision are met. Separately existing, freely available employer contribution reserves are recognized as assets. The difference between the economic benefits and obligations determined each year and the change in the employer contribution reserve is recognized in the income statement.
