The Group is committed to communicating in a timely and transparent way to shareholders, potential investors, financial analysts and customers. Toward this end, the Board of Directors takes an active interest in fostering good relations and engagement with shareholders and other stakeholders. In addition, the Company complies with its obligations under the rules of SIX Swiss Exchange, including the requirements on the dissemination of material and price-sensitive information.
The Group publishes an annual report that provides audited consolidated financial statements, audited financial statements and information about the Company including the business results, strategy, products and services, corporate governance, corporate responsibility and executive compensation. The annual report is published within four months after the 31 December balance sheet date. The annual results are also summarised in the form of a press release. In addition, the Company releases results for the first half of each year within three months after the 30 June balance sheet date. The published half-year and annual consolidated financial statements comply with the requirements of Swiss company law, the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Furthermore, the Group publishes trading statements for the first and third quarters in the form of a press release. The quarterly press releases contain unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company’s annual report, half-year report, and quarterly releases are distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of SIX Swiss Exchange and are announced via press releases and investor conferences in person or via telephone.
