Stockmann - Company Announcement

Stockmann Group 2014 comparison data for the new segment structure


Helsingfors, Finland, 2015-03-31 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STOCKMANN plc,
Company Announcement 31.3.2015 at 15:00 EET 

As of 1 January 2015, Stockmann's new divisions and reportable segments are
Stockmann Retail, Real Estate and Fashion Chains. Previously, Stockmann Retail
and Real Estate were reported together as the Department Store Division. The
Stockmann Retail division consists of the Stockmann department stores, the
Academic Bookstore and Hobby Hall, their online stores and Stockmann Beauty.
The Real Estate division comprises the business operations of the properties
that the Group owns in Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallinn and Riga. The Fashion
Chains division comprises the fashion chains Lindex and Seppälä. Seppälä's sale
will be concluded on 1 April 2015. 

As of 1 January 2015, Stockmann has applied the revaluation model as prescribed
by the IAS 16 standard to its properties in place of the previously applied
cost model. The properties will be carried at their revalued amount, which is
the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation. Any increase in the carrying amount as a result of revaluation is
disclosed in the revaluation reserve in equity. Measurement at fair value
increases the amount of depreciation following valuation, which affects the
consolidated operating result. While revaluation will not be applied
retroactively, the figures in the segment comparison data reflect the change
for illustrative purposes. 

The 2014 comparison data containing the new reporting structure and property
revaluation are presented in the adjoining tables. The figures are unaudited.
In addition to the revaluation, the comparison data illustrates the segments'
revenue and operating result had Stockmann Retail paid rent to the Real Estate
unit on the facilities in its use in the properties in the centre of Helsinki
in 2014. The data includes the actual rent paid on properties in St Petersburg,
Tallinn and Riga.
