The decrease in deferred income taxes due to the change in the scope of consolidation includes a reduction of CHF 5.2 million resulting from the finalisation of the purchase price allocation of the Mademoiselle Desserts Group.

Other provisions include, among others, liabilities for staff expenses in foreign countries as required by law (reporting year: CHF 9.4 million, previous year: CHF 8.9 million) and provisions for pending legal matters and business disputes (reporting year: CHF 2.7 million, previous year: CHF 2.4 million). In all cases, the likelihood of occurrence of such events has been assessed at above 50%.
