Associates/joint ventures

in CHF 000   2021   2020
Share of net income / (loss) of associates / joint ventures   14 321   4 796
Equity share in associates / joint ventures   900 650   61 179

The share of net income of associates and joint ventures for the reporting year of 2021 is CHF 14.3 million (previous year: CHF 4.8 million). The increase is attributable to increased operating income. The associated company Karriere.at accounted for much of this. See the table in the following section for details. The net income share of 31 per cent attributable to the SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG joint venture was recognised in the 2021 financial year for the two months of November and December and amounted to CHF -1.5 million. The negative result is attributable to amortisation of intangible assets in the amount of CHF -3.5 million (before deferred taxes), which were revalued in connection with the merger (purchase price allocation as per IFRS 3 “Business combinations”). Impairment testing for the carrying amounts recorded for investments in 2021 failed to show any need for impairment. In the previous year, impairments totalling CHF 2.9 million had had a negative effect on the share of net income of associates and joint ventures for 2020.

The share of equity accounted for by associates and joint ventures amounts to CHF 900.5 million (previous year: CHF 61.2 million). The share in SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG were recognised at CHF 837.0 million as of 1 November 2021 and have since been recognised with equity accounting (see Note 1 “Changes to the group of consolidated companies”).

Detailed financial information on the individual companies deemed to be material associated companies is provided below. The reported amounts refer to the 100 per cent stake in the companies and include the fair value adjustments at the time of acquisition as well as any deviations caused by differences in application of accounting policies. The income statements include in particular the depreciation and amortisation to be recognised by the TX Group on the intangible assets owned at the acquistion date. The figures for associates and joint ventures may be based on provisional and unaudited figures, so the tables below may contain some adjustments to the final figures from the previous year.

Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. A distinction is made between joint ventures and joint operations when assessing joint arrangement companies. These companies are deemed to be joint ventures because, in all cases and on the basis of contractual agreements, the TX Group exercises control over financial and operational decisions together with partners and holds rights to the company’s net assets.

Except for Virtual Network SA (30 June), all of the associates and joint ventures have a balance sheet date of 31 December under commercial law. As none of the associates and joint ventures have shares that are publicly traded, there are no published share prices. As most of the associates and joint ventures do not apply IFRS, their available financial statements have been adjusted to reflect IFRS principles, requiring estimates to be made in some cases. Adjustments may be necessary in the coming years if new information becomes available.

Details on transactions with associates and joint ventures are disclosed in Note 39.
