Publication according to §37q Para 2 Sentence 1 WpHG
Herzogenaurach, Germany, 3 September – The German Accounting Enforcement Panel (DPR) has discovered, that the consolidated financial statements for the year ending on 31.12.2012 of PUMA SE, Herzogenaurach, are inaccurate:
1. In the consolidated financial statements of PUMA SE as of 31. December 2012 the pre-tax profit is understated by at least EUR10 Mio. and the provision for restructuring overstated by the respective amount. The planned inventory transfer, the expected double lease-cost in the course of a relocation into new office spaces which was in negotiation status, the consulting related to the re-engineering of the logistics, as well as expenditures for future marketing efforts out of three sailing sponsoring contracts are expenses for the future economic activity at the balance sheet date and are not regarded as contingent losses, and hence are not recognizable as liabilities.
This violates IAS 37.80 as well as IAS 37.66.
2. The consolidated financial statements disclose a goodwill of EUR289,4m, of which EUR139,4m refer to one single cash generating unit.
The notes neither include details of the book value nor of the value defining parameters of the impairment test of the corresponding cash generating unit.
Moreover, these details cannot be derived for any cash generating unit as the stated scope of the tax rates, WACC and growth rates is too large for the regional aggregated cash generating units.
This violates IAS 36.134.
