TALENTUM CHANGES THE SEGMENT DIVISION USED IN ITS FINANCIAL REPORTING
Helsinki, Finland, 2012-04-17 13:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
TALENTUM OYJ COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT APRIL 17, 2012 AT 2 PM
TALENTUM CHANGES THE SEGMENT DIVISION USED IN ITS FINANCIAL REPORTING
In January 2012, Talentum Oyj altered its business unit organisation to better
support the Group's present business operations. This change included the
formation of a new management team, mainly comprising of managers of the
business units. Consequently, the Board of Directors decided on April 16, 2012
to change the company’s internal and external financial reporting structure as
follows.
Talentum's business operations are divided into six segments: Magazine Business
Finland, Magazine Business Sweden, Events, Books and Legal Training, Direct
Marketing and Other Activities.
In the Magazine Business Finland segment financial performance is reported for
periodicals. The Finnish magazines with the highest circulation are Talouselämä
and Tekniikka & Talous. In the Magazine Business Sweden segment financial
performance is reported for periodicals. The Swedish magazines with the highest
circulation are Ny Teknik and Affärsvärlden. In the Books and Legal Training
segment financial performance is reported for book publishing and Legal
Training. Talentum publishes legal and professional literature and provides
legal training in Finland. The best-known publication is the green Finnish Law
book. In the Events segment financial performance is reported for Talentum
Events Oy, operating in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. In the Direct Marketing
segment financial performance is reported for Suoramarkkinointi Mega Oy in
Finland and the Baltic countries. The company operates in the telemarketing
business. The Other Activities segment comprises Group operations as well as a
Russian subsidiary, Conseco Press. In 2011, Other Activities also included the
company Talentum HR AB, which was sold in December of that year.
The new segment division has no material impact on the reporting segments on
which the goodwill impairment testing is based on.
The Financial Statements for 2011 have been compiled using the former segment
division. The Interim Report for January-March, to be published on the 27th of
April 2012, uses the new segment division.
In this bulletin, Talentum also discloses comparison figures from 2011 for
continuing operations, which will not include the construction sector business
information operation, which is shown as a discontinued operation.
The accompanying tables present quarterly information from 2011 for continuing
operations, in accordance with the new reporting structure. The information is
unaudited.
