IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 impact
IFRS 15 – New revenue recognition standard
- Implemented in Schibsted as of Q1 2018
- Negative effect on revenue and EBITDA of around NOK 8 million in Q2 2018. NOK 30 million YTD.
- Certain classifieds revenues being recognized over a longer period than previously
- The effect in Q3 to Q4 is expected to be minor
- No impact in Publishing nor Growth
IFRS 16 – New financial reporting standard for leasing
- IFRS 16 for leases will be implemented Q1 2019
- Current lease expenses indicate that this will have a positive impact of EBITDA in the magnitude of NOK 500 million
Underlying tax rate stable around 30%
- Reported tax rate may deviate significantly from the nominal tax rates in our markets. The main reasons are:
-
- Share of profit (loss) of joint ventures and associates being reported net of tax
-
- Unrecognised tax benefits from tax losses in Online Classifieds Investment phase operations and product & tech development
-
- Non-deductible expenses or non-taxable gains
- With reduced investments, the reported tax rate will in the future converge towards the Underlying tax rate
- Underlying tax rate broadly represents a weighted average of the tax rates in the countries Schibsted is in tax position. Any reduction in corporate tax rates in countries like France would reduce this rate
