Provisions related to employment and non-income taxes are mainly associated with business acquisitions within the scope of IFRS 3. For the acquisition of COMPAREX group in 2019, risks to an amount of TCHF 14,689 have been identified and classified as contingent liabilities. By the end of the year, there are still provisions to an amount of TCHF 3,062 which are related to employment (TCHF 1,467; prior year: TCHF 2,772) and non-income taxes (TCHF 1,595; prior year: TCHF 3,134). Indemnification assets related to the acquisition of COMPAREX group have been reduced to TCHF 49 (prior year: TCHF 4,303). Further risks also exist for the acquisition of Predica, InterGrupo, Intelligence Partner and ITST to a lesser extent. For a significant portion, indemnification assets have been recognised, refer to Note 13 Other receivables and prepaid expenses.
Earn-out-related provisions are associated with contingent consideration arrangements that could result in additional cash payments to the previous owners of the acquired companies. They are presented as provisions if they are contingent on continued employment and thus compensation for services. The amount of the earn-out depends on KPI developments for a contractually defined period and, where appropriate, a multiplier derived from other variables. They are recognised as personnel expenses during the period of service.
The earn-out calculations are based on the following KPIs:
