SRV Group Plc changes financial reporting of associated company and joint venture form of investments


Espoo, Finland, 2014-12-30 14:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SRV GROUP PLC    
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE     30 DECEMBER 2014, AT 15.00 

SRV Group Plc changes financial reporting of associated company and joint
venture form of investments 

SRV Group Plc is changing the way it presents its associated company and joint
venture form of investments in the consolidated balance sheet. In future, the
company will present investments consolidated by the equity method as separate
components in the non-current assets. Previously, these have been presented as
inventories or other non-current financial assets, depending on the nature of
the investment. Shares in associated companies and joint ventures amounted to
EUR 67.8 million on 31 December 2013 and EUR 31.5 million on 31 December 2012.
The reclassification has no impact on the company's result, total assets or the
key figures presented in the company's financial statements. The
reclassification causes a change in the cash flow statement only between net
cash flow from operating activities and net cash flow from investing
activities. 

The company has clarified the presentation of these investments during the
fourth quarter due to amended IFRS standards. The company believes that the
change in presentation clarifies its balance sheet structure such that projects
in which it has significant influence but no control are presented in
accordance with IFRS standards as associated companies in non-current assets. 

SRV Group Plc invests in international construction projects together with
other investors utilising associated companies or joint ventures. The objective
of these structures is to ensure sufficient capital for different projects as
well as to reduce the weighting of individual projects from a risk perspective
in SRV Group's balance sheet. 

With this release, SRV Group Plc publishes comparison figures for 2013. The
data are unaudited.
