Accounting policies
Receivables are measured at their nominal value. Bad debt provisions are charged to the income statement for doubtful receivables whose collection is uncertain. In regard to the general valuation risk, TX Group applies the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 to measure anticipated loan losses, factoring in the need to make valuation allowances based on past experiences and anticipated losses from future default events for all trade accounts receivable.

At the same time, accruals relating to personnel increased by CHF 2.9 million to CHF 29.5 million, mainly due to the higher accruals for employee performance bonuses. The reduction in other deferred revenues and accrued liabilities was primarily due to television channel shares in the Goldbach sub-group.
