driving the digital future

Television has changed the world. And its best times lie ahead: Television, as ProSiebenSat.1 understands it, is the engine of a brand new ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE. No other medium benefits so much from the digital revolution — and helps to shape it.

Internet platforms, online games, social media, video portals, apps: They can all make strong TV brands even stronger — and become even more successful with them. ProSiebenSat.1 was particularly early to recognize this interplay. We use its potential consistently and regularly set new standards with our innovations.

Explanation of reporting principles in the fourth quarter or the 2012 financial year: The figures for 2012 relate to the key figures from continuing operations reported in line with IFRS 5, i.e. not taking into account the sold or held-for-sale activities in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. For the income statement and the cash flow statement, the figures for 2011 were also adjusted for the figures of the activities in Belgium and the Netherlands disposed of in 2011. For the 2010 financial year, the income statement and the cash flow statement were adjusted only for the figures of the activities disposed
of in the 2011 financial year. In the 2011 financial year, the Belgian TV activities and the Dutch TV and Print activities were deconsolidated with the completion of the contracts for the sale of the participations in June and July 2011. This means the income statement items of these companies are separately reported as the result of discontinued operations. For 2011, this result from discontinued operations shows net profit and the profit of deconsolidation after taxes.

Change rates are based on a business perspective. Improvements are shown with a plus (+), deterioration with a minus (–).
