Management’s review

Egmont is a leading media group in the Nordic region.

Our media world spans magazines, books, films, cinemas, interactive games and TV. Egmont publishes media in more than 30 countries and has 6,400 dedicated­ employees.

Our vision is to be the most attractive media group for our employees and business partners as well as consumers.

Egmont is a commercial foundation that donates a portion­of its profits to help improve the lives of vulnerable children and young people.

PROFIT IMPROVEMENT IN 2011 Revenue Egmont’s total revenue in 2011 amounted to EUR 1,386.3 million, 2.6 % lower than in 2010. Magazines and TV 2 generated higher advertising revenue, and TV 2 boosted income generated from distributors and user-paid services. The Nordisk Film distribution business experienced a decrease after a solid year in 2010.

The divestment of book clubs and the music business contributed to lower revenue.

83 % of Egmont’s revenue is generated in the Nordic region.

Earnings The profit before net financials, depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 150.4 million in 2011, equivalent to a 10.8 % EBITDA margin. EBITDA was reduced by EUR 15.8 million compared with the previous year, primarily as a result of a lower activity level at Nordisk Film.

Operating profit (EBIT) rose to EUR 87.5 million in 2011 compared with EUR 82.4 million in 2010. Magazines, Kids Media and TV 2 improved their performance, while Books and Nordisk Film recorded lower earnings than in 2010. The lower earnings in Books are primarily attributable to the adjustment of the Danish book business­, while the lower level of activity in the distribution­business caused the earnings drop for Nordisk Film.

Net financials (excl. profit/(loss) from investments in associates) amounted to EUR (2.1) million against EUR (3.3) million in 2010.

The Group recorded a pre-tax profit of EUR 93.7 million in 2011, against EUR 75.3 million in 2010, corresponding to a 24 % increase. This is Egmont’s best pre-tax profit ever.

Tax on net profit for the year was EUR 20.1 million, equivalent to a tax rate of 21.4 %.

The net profit for 2011 was EUR 73.6 million against EUR 49.6 million the year before.

Balance sheet The balance sheet total increased by EUR 27.8 million to EUR 1,294.8 million.

The Group’s net balance in the form of cash, cash equivalents and securities after the deduction of net interest-bearing debt rose from EUR 76.7 million in 2010 to EUR 104.7 million in 2011. The improvement results from the positive operating profit.

Egmont’s equity at end-2011 amounted to EUR 505.9 million, an increase of EUR 44.8 million compared with 2010.

Return on equity was 15.2 % compared with 11.0 % the year before.

The equity ratio at end-2011 was 39.1 %, compared with 36.4 % in 2010.

Cash generated from operations was EUR 107.4 million, down from EUR 196.9 million in 2010. The decline is due to the reduction in cash generated from working capital, provisions and increases in prepayments.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES In 2011 Egmont decided to present its consolidated financial statements according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The transition date was 1 January 2009. The effect of the transition to IFRS is explained in note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

Egmont Magazines Revenue 2011: EUR 296 million (2010: EUR 284 million) Operating profit 2011: EUR 33 million (2010: EUR 25 million) Employees 2011: 1,044 (2010: 1,026)

With more than 100 titles in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, Egmont Magazines is among the Scandinavian market’s largest publishers of weeklies and magazines. Catering primarily for the consumer market, the magazines provide a vehicle for advertisers to reach attractive target groups.

Egmont Magazines’ product portfolio includes family magazines, women’s and men’s magazines, illustrated weeklies, a broad selection of monthly and special interest magazines as well as a number of digital services and activities related to the division’s most popular brands.

Egmont Magazines generated revenue of EUR 296 million in 2011, an increase of 4.2 % over the previous year.

This improvement can be partly ascribed to an upturn in advertising income. Despite the economic recession during the second half of the year, advertising income from both print and digital publications rose in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. As a result, Egmont Magazines reinforced its market position in 2011.

Operating profit increased, amounting to EUR 33 million in 2011, against EUR 25 million in 2010.

The increase in earnings can chiefly be attributed to improvements in the Swedish business. Lastly, the various efficiency-enhancing initiatives implemented had a positive impact. However, the continuing decline in sale to non-subscribers of weeklies is having the reverse

effect, although Sweden is faring somewhat better than Denmark and Norway. The division’s overall share of the magazine market increased in 2011.

Investments in digital activities were stepped up in 2011, and the division’s digital revenue increased more than the rest of the market. Furthermore various minor acquisitions were implemented to further strengthen digital activities.

FAMILY MAGAZINES Egmont’s family magazines in Scandinavia – Hjemmet, Hemmets Journal, Norsk Ukeblad, Hendes Verden and Familien – had a total weekly circulation of 718,000, a decrease of 3.6 %. Despite this continued decline, family magazines remain a highly attractive part of the magazine portfolio. They have consistently generated earnings throughout the financial recession and are among the market bestsellers. In Norway Hjemmet, which celebrated its centenary in 2011, is a clear contender for the title of biggest weekly family magazine. In Sweden Hemmets Journal celebrated 90 years of publication.

WOMEN’S MAGAZINES With its attractive advertising potential, the women’s magazine market remains highly competitive. Egmont Magazines commands a leading position in Denmark with ALT for damerne, the most powerful advertising medium in the Danish market for magazines and weeklies, and Eurowoman, the leading advertising medium in the women’s monthly magazine market. In Norway

stable growth in circulation enabled Camille to consolidate its position as Norway’s largest women’s magazine.

Furthermore, in 2011 ALT for damerne was launched in Norway, where it is vying with other women’s magazine titles for market shares in a segment under intense pressure.

MEN’S MAGAZINES Egmont Magazines commands a strong position in the market for men’s magazines. In Denmark, Euroman’s advertising sales have climbed steeply, and the magazine is now regularly published for iPad. In Norway Vi Menn is clearly the largest magazine for men, supplemented by the publication of Mann. Egmont Magazines has also acquired the rights to ALFA. In Sweden Egmont Magazines’ fashion magazine King has similarly boosted advertising sales and increased its circulation figures.

Rum both improved their performances despite keener competition. In 2010 Blossom was launched in Sweden, where weak sales prompted its closure in 2011. Living in Norway and Sirene in Denmark suffered the same fate.

INTERACTIVE MEDIA Egmont Magazines continuously invests in digital media, both throughout the division and in each of the countries. Various digital platforms reinforce the division’s brands, and the digital channel is a key vehicle for subscription sales. The division also operates an array of websites, including the klikk.no portal in Norway, which once again generated strong traffic growth in 2011 and now ranks as Norway’s 15th largest internet universe.

In 2011 Egmont Magazines also rolled out three new websites in Denmark, Norway and Sweden under the Hjemmet/Hemmets Journal brand. The venture is Egmont Magazines’ first joint Nordic digital project.

ILLUSTRATED WEEKLIES In Denmark and Norway Egmont Magazines leads the market in the segment for lower-priced illustrated weeklies, publishing HER&NU and Her & Nå, respectively. The total weekly circulation is 199,000 copies. In Denmark, HER&NU’s editorial makeover has put the magazine in better stead than the rest of the market.

SPECIAL INTEREST MAGAZINES With more than 80 titles, Egmont Magazines commands a solid position in the Nordic market for special interest magazines and leads several country markets in the house-and-home, motor, boating, parenting, leisure, travel, health and hobby segments. In Norway Egmont Magazines, which now publishes five magazines in the house-and-home segment, bolstered its position in this market. The newest title, BoligDrøm, has gained a solid foothold in the market. In Denmark Gastro and

Egmont Kids Media Revenue 2011: EUR 395 million (2010: EUR 415 million) Operating profit 2011: EUR 25 million (2010: EUR 21 million) Employees 2011: 1,237 (2010: 1,248)

Egmont Kids Media is a leading provider of early reading experiences for children in 30 countries the world over.

The division creates and sells magazines, books, digital media, games and merchandise for children and young people.

In 2011 the division generated revenue of EUR 395 million, EUR 20 million less than the previous year. The European crisis hit the Central and Eastern European markets, lowering consumers’ incentive to buy. However, many companies in the division made adjustments and successfully launched new products, thus enabling them to compensate for the toughening conditions in many markets. The division thus recorded an operating profit of EUR 25 million, an improvement of EUR 4 million on the 2010 profit. The profit includes non-recurring costs related to personnel adjustments and impairment losses.

Egmont Kids Media’s strategy is to revitalise its core business and strengthen market positions through effective portfolio management and new title launches. The division is also focusing on making the transition from print-only publisher to multiplatform publisher by investing in digital initiatives like e-publications, learn-and-play apps, edutainment platforms for pre-schoolers and e-commerce.

NORDIC REGION Building on the good results achieved in 2010, the companies in the Nordic region exceeded financial expectations. In 2011 the Nordic organisation was consolidated under a single management body, a move that paves the

Management’s review

way for developing a more effective publishing house that can benefit from business synergies while retaining local expertise in editorial material, marketing and distribution.

Norway and Sweden enjoyed resounding success with the publication of a book series containing the collected works of Donald Duck illustrator, Don Rosa. Other successful launches in the region included a Lego magazine and new editions of the local Julia/Olivia and Goal brands repackaged for younger children. Numerous activities celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Petzi brand also attracted massive consumer interest.

CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE All Egmont Kids Media’s activities in Central and Eastern Europe were integrated under a single management structure. The division consolidated its key partnerships with licence holders by acquiring rights to Disney’s Marvel universe as well as new rights from Hasbro (Transformers) and Cartoon Network (Generator Rex) and by extending an agreement regarding the popular Hello Kitty brand. A new partnership secured the rights to the Maya the Bee brand in the region. Finally, Egmont Kids Media continued to develop its strong portfolio of fiction titles for children and young people, riding the wave of good results recorded in Turkey and Bulgaria.

GERMAN-SPEAKING COUNTRIES Egmont Ehapa maintained its market-leading position in the region by focusing strongly on its core business: the Mickey Mouse and Wendy magazines, which avoided

the general market decline in circulation, like the Disney Pocket Books, which recorded a 10 % sales increase. The launch of 20 new titles and a 45 % increase in internet sales also contributed to the favourable results. The German company VGS re-profiled its publication portfolio, which resulted in a new imprint for young people, INK, and the closure of a non-fiction label. With 1.6 million books sold, the publisher Lyx soared to a number two ranking in its genre and added a new sub-category focusing on crime fiction.

ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES In the UK Egmont Kids Media renewed a number of major licences, including the rights to Thomas the Tank Engine, and launched an all-new music magazine for teenagers, We Love Pop, with great success. Egmont USA continued to grow in its second publishing year, and one of Egmont’s local authors, Walter Dean Myers, received the prestigious title of US National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. Despite the closure of The Red Group, Australia’s largest bookstore chain, Hardie Grant Egmont recorded growth rates driven in part by such hit new series as Billie B Brown. Finally, the bestselling cartoon series Tintin and the popular novel War Horse enjoyed an upsurge in interest following the 2011 premieres of Steven Spielberg blockbusters based on these brands.

publications. The successful publication of an array of children’s bestsellers by well-known local authors helped to reinforce the company’s second-place market position in an increasingly competitive market. The worst floods in Thailand for 50 years brought all business in the region to a standstill in the fourth quarter of 2011, which affected the results for the year recorded by the Egmont Kids Media joint venture with The Nation Group.

DIGITAL MEDIA In 2011 Egmont Kids Media established a new digital organisation and strategy. Combining stories, games and film in a successful entertainment platform for pre-school children and their parents, the Nordic online universe of Petzi’s World has ranked number one on the iTunes Nordic children’s list every weekend since its introduction in April 2011. The division also invested in a 24.42 % stake of the edutainment universe abcity.dk, where children can learn the alphabet and improve their reading skills. The Nordic Donald Duck magazine went online in an app version, and in Eastern Europe the edutainment portal Pluszaki for pre-schoolers was launched in the fourth quarter of 2011.

ASIA Egmont Kids Media continued its good performance in China in 2011 despite a tough macro-economic climate. A number of factors underpinned the revenue increase from Children’s Fun Publishing: the company recorded healthy results in the book business and rising numbers of magazine subscribers; it added new science, education and parenting categories to the book range; and it embraced new media platforms, including digital

Egmont Books Revenue 2011: EUR 146 million (2010: EUR 156 million) Operating profit 2011: EUR 0 million (2010: EUR 3 million) Employees 2011: 503 (2010: 512)

Egmont Books develops and produces literary fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, audio books, e-books and educational media that entertain readers and give them insight and knowledge.

Egmont Books comprises Norway’s leading book publishing house Cappelen Damm and the Danish publisher Lindhardt og Ringhof. Egmont’s non-Scandinavian book publishing activities are part of Egmont Kids Media.

CAPPELEN DAMM Cappelen Damm is Norway’s largest book publisher with activities spanning general literature, education, book clubs, e-commerce, the bookstore chain Tanum, which has 17 book dealers in the Oslo area, and the distribution business Sentraldistribusjon. The publishing house is coowned equally by Egmont and Bonnier.

Cappelen Damm consolidated its market position in 2011 and is a clear leader in the market for general literature – children’s books, literary fiction, non-fiction and documentaries. Cappelen Damm is also a market leader in the market for books for upper secondary schools and commands a strong second position in books for primary and lower secondary schools.

Cappelen Damm delivered its best-ever performance in 2011, reflecting ongoing improvement despite the drop in revenue due to the decline in the primary and lower secondary school market as a whole and a weaker bookclub market.

Several publications attracted great interest in 2011.

Cappelen Damm’s authors won three of a possible five Brage awards at the annual awards ceremony in November. The Norwegian flagship and café bookstore, Tanum Karl Johan in Oslo, re-opened in September after extensive renovation.

In early 2012 Cappelen Damm acquired educational materials and textbook publisher Høyskoleforlaget in Kristiansand.

Management’s review

The acquisition was part of a strategic plan to strengthen the company’s market position in academic literature.

LINDHARDT OG RINGHOF The division’s Danish activities are concentrated­in Denmark’s second-largest publisher, Lindhardt og Ringhof, which includes its subsidiaries Alinea, Akademisk Forlag, L&R Business and Carlsen.

A change in company management was effected in April 2011. In addition, employee numbers were reduced and the book clubs sold to Gyldendal. A wide range of adjustments costs were also conducted. As a consequence, the financial results are unsatisfactory.

Despite the radical changes, Lindhardt og Ringhof has not only retained its most important authors, but also attracted big names such as Johannes Møllehave, who is making a comeback. The company enhanced its literary fiction profile, while the non-fiction department further cemented its lead in cookbooks, lifestyle, history, society and culture. The publishing house established a digital editorial department and now offers a selection of over 1,000 e-books for sale, available on iBooks. The ‘e-book of the month’ concept launched in association with SAXO. com has been a success.

During the year Lindhardt og Ringhof published approximately 580 new titles. The bestsellers included Leif Davidsen’s short story collection Utahs Bjerge, Jens Andersen’s royal biography M – 40 år på tronen and Claus Meyer’s cookbook Kager. Carlsen’s Pixi Alfabetet was another topseller.

In 2011 the educational publishers focused on developing and investing significantly in digital learning media in preparation for the transition primary and lower secondary schools will make from analogue to digital materials in the coming four years. Alinea was Denmark’s largest supplier of digital learning media at end-2011.

Egmont Nordisk Film Revenue 2011: EUR 334 million (2010: EUR 390 million) Operating profit 2011: EUR 11 million (2010: EUR 18 million) Employees 2011: 798 (2010: 946)

Egmont Nordisk Film is the leading developer, producer and distributor of creative content in the Nordic region.

The division creates and tells stories through the media of film, TV and interactive games.

Revenue amounted to EUR 334 million in 2011 against EUR 390 million in the previous year. Whereas 2010 was a good year, revenue in 2011 decreased because the film distribution business distributed fewer games and films and the music business were divested. Operating profit amounted to EUR 11 million, against EUR 18 million in 2010. The decline is attributable to the lower level of activity in 2011 compared with the previous year.

FILM Egmont Nordisk Film produces and distributes feature films, animations and TV series, both as in-house productions and in association with Nordic and other international partners.

The critically acclaimed feature film R collected eight Danish ‘Robert’ awards and three ‘Bodil’ statues and was a highly popular rental title in 2011. Klassefesten sold 517,000 cinema tickets, thus becoming the most-viewed Danish film, while Dirch, co-produced by Nordisk Film, sold 485,000 tickets. Both titles helped improve the performance of Film Production, which also distinguished itself in 2011 by re-releasing Qivitoq on DVD and, in the television medium, by producing a documentary series about the Danish royal jewels, De kongelige juveler, and co-producing the Swedish TV series Arne Dahl.

The joint-venture company Zentropa implemented a a business restructuring and delivered significantly better results. In 2011 Susanne Bier’s In a Better World won an Oscar and a Golden Globe, and both In a Better World and Lars von Trier’s Melancholia received European Film Awards. Egmont sold 0.3 % of the shares in Zentropa, which means that as of 1 October 2011 it is recognised as an associate with an ownership share of 49.7 % rather than as a jointly controlled company.

Nordisk Film Distribution released 58 cinema titles produced either in-house or by other production companies across the Nordic region. In 2011 Nordisk Film distributed roughly one in every six cinema films shown in the Nordic countries.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 sold 1,350,000 tickets, and expectations for Part 2, slated for release in November 2012, are high. The independent title The Fighter was nominated for seven Oscar awards and won two.

Furthermore the TV mini-series Millennium, based on the successful trilogy by Stieg Larsson, was awarded an Emmy.

Once again Egmont Nordisk Film was behind some of the biggest locally produced Scandinavian film titles in 2011. In its home country 560,000 cinema guests saw the Norwegian action thriller Headhunters, which sold 217,000 tickets in Denmark. The film was also Norway’s

all ticket sales in Denmark. Like the cinema commercials company Dansk Reklame Film, the company fared well in a media market under pressure.

In 2011 growth rates for VideoOnDemand distribution repeated their upward rise in step with consumers’ expanding options for watching films through a variety of different media and platforms.

INTERACTIVE GAMES 2011 was a good year for PlayStation, which recorded sales exceeding 300,000 PS3 consoles in the Nordic region and captured a market share of over 45 %.

Reducing the console price in September enabled PlayStation to gain a firm hold on a new group of consumers, a development underpinned by the continued success of the motion controller MOVE. MOVE has been particularly popular with families and others wishing to use PlayStation as a social experience, and a broad spectrum of new social and active entertainment titles were released in 2011.

In 2011 the Nordisk Film Shortcut post-production companies continued to gear their activities to the digital future. A new digital company was established in Sweden, and in Denmark activities in the analogue film laboratory were substantially reduced.

CINEMAS Nordisk Film Cinemas sold 5.4 million cinema tickets in Denmark and 354,000 in Norway. The Danish cinema market fell by 4.5 % compared to 2010. The numerous discounted tickets sold and the relatively small number of higher-priced tickets for extra-length features and 3D films brought a drop in average ticket prices for the first time in many years.

The first sod was turned for the construction of a new cinema in Næstved, due to open in March 2012. Finally, Nordisk Film Cinemas started the process of digitalising the cinema chain, planned to be completed by early summer 2012.

Kino.dk runs Denmark’s leading film website, handling ticket transactions that represent approximately 70 % of

Management’s review

2011 also brought a wide range of major titles targeted more specifically at traditional PlayStation audiences.

Uncharted 3, released on 1 November, was the year’s unchallenged success, selling over 100,000 copies, while other sequels to major, well-known series such as Killzone, Little Big Planet, Resistance and Ratchet & Clank maintained their popularity throughout the year.

Sales of accessories, in particular extra controllers, exceeded expectations, reflecting the fact that PlayStation has become a predominantly social experience.

TV 2, Norway Measured by daily use, TV 2 is Norway’s largest commercial media house. Seven out of ten Norwegians use one or more TV 2 products every day, and TV 2 is among Norway’s unequivocally strongest brands. TV 2 is a leading supplier of news, sports and entertainment through television, the internet, mobile phones and tablet computers. In 2011 TV 2 was 50/50 co-owned

by Egmont and A-pressen. In February 2012 Egmont acquired A-pressen’s stake at a price of NOK 2.1 billion, thus making it a wholly owned Egmont company.

In 2011 TV 2 generated revenue of NOK 3,197 million against NOK 2,704 million in 2010. TV 2’s operating profit was NOK 485 million compared with NOK 335 million in 2010. Like the profit from the previous year, this year’s profit represents TV 2’s best to date. For the first time, TV 2 has also generated revenue exceeding NOK 3 billion. The profit is ascribable to a combination of a more favourable advertising market and growth in pay-per-transaction income from more recently added business areas such as pay-TV and internet services. TV 2 contributed EUR 210 million to the Egmont Group’s revenue and EUR 27 million to operating profit.

TV 2’s total share of viewers was unchanged in 2011.

In January 2012 TV 2 acquired Telenor’s 45 % shareholding in TV 2 Zebra AS, thus becoming the sole proprietor.

TV 2 Zebra runs the TV channels TV 2 Zebra and TV 2 SPORT. TV 2 (MAIN CHANNEL) TV 2 commanded a market share of 19.3 % in 2011, down from 20.5 % in 2010. Fierce competition in the TV

market and the continued introduction of niche channels largely account for the main channel’s decline.

On 18 December 2011 TV 2 set a new viewing record when 1,611,000 viewers tuned in to the world cup handball final for women between Norway and France.

The final of Idol, watched by 1,475,000 Norwegians in 2005, held the former record.

Norway was struck by a terrorist attack on 22 July 2011.

For the first few days all coverage was transferred to the main channel, which broadcast news non-stop for 56 hours 11 minutes.

TV 2 ZEBRA In 2011 TV 2 Zebra held a market share of 2.7 %, down from 3.0 % in 2010. TV 2 Zebra’s content consists largely of entertainment and sport.

TV 2 BLISS Launched in October 2010 TV 2 Bliss is an entertainment channel catering specially for young women. In 2011 it had a market share of 1.4 %. The launch of TV 2 Bliss is a key reason that TV 2’s share of the total market remained stable in 2011.

TV 2 NYHETSKANALEN TV 2 Nyhetskanalen celebrated its fifth anniversary on 15 January 2012. The channel has consistently increased its market share, which has climbed from 0.5 % in 2007 to 2.2 % in 2011. The channel has intensified competition among current affairs programmes in Norway and evolved into one of Norwegians’ chief sources of news – particularly for major events.

TV 2 FILMKANALEN TV 2 Filmkanalen airs films 24 hours a day. The channel was given a face-lift in 2011 and now has a market share of 0.7 %, a percentage that has remained stable since the channel launch in 2007.

TV 2 SPORT Norwegian Tippeliga football matches constitute the primary content of TV 2 SPORT. TV 2 PREMIER LEAGUE TV 2 broadcasts Premier League programmes on three HD TV channels: TV 2 PL HD 1, TV 2 PL HD 2 and TV 2 PL HD 3. The channels broadcast nearly all games from the best English division in HD. The studio is located in Bergen. TV 2 took over the rights to broadcast Barclays Premier League games starting with the 2009/2010 season.

TV 2 SUMO TV 2 Sumo is the largest commercial internet-based TV supplier in the Nordic region. Subscribers to TV 2 Sumo have access to all TV 2’s TV channels, an extensive programme library and an interactive live centre based on sport that invites viewers to share a social viewing experience. In 2011 TV 2 Sumo was launched for iPad, and many content elements became available on iPhone. In time TV 2 Sumo will also be accessible on other mobile platforms. In 2011 the number of subscribers increased by 50 %.

Management’s review

TV 2.NO In 2011 TV 2 once again enjoyed strong growth on the internet and mobile platforms. During the year tv2.no recorded a 37 % increase in traffic after a 31 % growth rate in 2010. In 2011 tv2.no thus ascended from 11th to 7th place on the list of largest Norwegian websites.

PURCHASE OF TV RIGHTS TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES In June 2011 TV 2 announced its acquisition of the TV broadcasting rights to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sotsji, Russia, and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. TV 2 has acquired all rights to all platforms, from TV to the internet and mobile platforms.

SUBSIDIARIES TV 2 Mediehuset owns the subsidiaries OB-Team, TV 2 Torget, Vimond and Mosart Medialab, and holds ownership shares in RiksTV (33.33 %) and Norges televisjon (33.33 %).

The Charitable Activities Since 1920 the Egmont Foundation has donated approximately EUR 250 million to support social and cultural initiatives. In 2011 Egmont’s financial support amounted to EUR 6.4 million, EUR 470,000 of which was donated via the Nordisk Film Foundation.

The Egmont Foundation is a commercial foundation that re-invests its profit in the media business and charitable activities. The Foundation’s charitable vision is to help give children and young people a good life by supporting their active and committed participation in society.

2011 showed that times of crisis pose a special challenge to those in need of protection and support. The Egmont Foundation is therefore looking forward to raising its level of grants by 20 % in 2012 and intensifying its efforts to help Danish children and young people lead the best lives possible.

The Foundation supports projects that incorporate a learning perspective or help children and young people to handle life crises. In addition, the Foundation provides direct financial support to vulnerable families in need of help for special purposes like holidays, Christmas or recreational activities for children or for re-establishing a home after a stay in a crisis centre. Lastly, the Nordisk Film Foundation, also part of the Egmont Foundation, grants support to the Danish film industry every year.

FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN­ Throughout its almost century-long history, the Egmont Foundation has provided support to the most vulnerable children and families in Danish society. These are families who are often subjected to several life crises at once, e.g. experiencing violence, abuse and divorce close at hand. The children in such families need special care and support, for which reason the Foundation focused its efforts on this group in 2011. To this end, the Foundation increased its direct financial support to vulnerable families and implemented effective projects such as Mødrehjælpen’s counselling service for women and children exposed to domestic violence.

SIGNS OF CRISIS IN SOCIETY In 2011 Danish families felt the true impact of the European debt crisis and the general economic recession. The Egmont Foundation’s charitable work in 2011 also reflected the crisis. For example, Christmas aid applications alone rose by 139 % compared with 2010.

The Foundation also received many requests for support from public institutions and private organisations that work with the most vulnerable groups in society.

The Foundation always makes fostering the well-being and education of vulnerable children and youth a top priority. Support must be offered in cases of urgent need, but these children and young people also benefit from self-help assistance. This approach instils a sense of dignity, the best foundation for a good life. Ensuring that vulnerable children and young people get a good education is one of the best ways to help them help themselves. In 2011 the Egmont Foundation therefore

Management’s review

took the initiative for an upcoming signature project to provide compassionate teaching and learning for children and young people in care.

NORDISK FILM FOUNDATION 2011 Since 1992, as Denmark’s largest private media foundation and part of the Egmont Foundation, the Nordisk Film Foundation has granted support to the Danish film industry. In 2011 the Foundation donated EUR 470,000.

Approximately 60 % of the Foundation’s support funds go towards developing creative talent and skills, about 30 % towards supporting industry development and internationalisation, and about 10 % towards upholding film culture throughout Danish society.

The following are examples of notable donations: • In 2011 the Nordisk Film Foundation awarded a total of EUR 94,146 to help about 29 young, gifted filmmakers study at international media schools.

• The National Film School of Denmark and the Super16 film school received support for study trips, graduation films, etc, totalling EUR 12,198.

Management’s review

• Nordisk Film donated EUR 26,899 for the development of a European cross-media programme in Copenhagen.

• In 2011 the Nordisk Film Pris talent award went to scriptwriter Anders August, while the Ballings Rejselegat travel grant was awarded to film director Martin Zandvliet.

• A number of conferences and festivals with an international slant received EUR 81,000 during the year.

Finally, the Foundation donated EUR 43,000 to the Danish Film Institute (DFI) for a project to digitalise old film reels.

Management’s review PROFIT FOR THE EGMONT FOUNDATION The profit of the Egmont Foundation, the parent entity of the Egmont Group, excluding dividends from equity investments in subsidiaries, was EUR 3.3 million. The Foundation’s Commercial Activities primarily comprise royalty income from the Foundation’s publishing rights and management of the Foundation’s assets.

In 2011 the Egmont Foundation changed its accounting policies such that investments in subsidiaries are recognised at cost. The impact was a EUR 135.5 million reduction of equity as at 1 January 2010; see note 1 to the financial statements of the Foundation.

ORGANISATION In January 2011, an election was held in the Group to select employee representatives for the Board of Trustees of the Egmont Foundation. Peder Høgild and Anna von Lowzow were re-elected, while Marianne Oehlenschlæger was elected as a new board member.

The changes took effect following the Annual Meeting in March 2011.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Based on the most recent recommendations from the Committee on Corporate Governance, the Board of Trustees and Management Board have updated the description of the framework for Corporate Governance at Egmont. This framework is described in full on Egmont’s website (www.egmont.com).

Egmont meets the above-mentioned Corporate Governance recommenda­tions, with the exception of recommendations that are irrelevant because the parent entity, the Egmont Foundation, is a commercial foundation.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Egmont is committed to meeting current international standards for human rights, the environment, working conditions, business ethics and consumer matters.

In 2005 Egmont formulated a Code of Conduct, a defined set of standards concerning human rights, the environment and working conditions that Egmont requires its companies and suppliers to meet. Egmont’s Code of Conduct can be read in its entirety on the Egmont website (www.egmont.com). Egmont’s Social Compliance Programme and other initiatives have since focused on the issue of enforcing these requirements.

In 2011 new managers at Egmont attended courses that included Egmont’s Code of Conduct as a fixed element on the agenda.

In 2011 Egmont Sourcing (HK) Ltd, whose main task is to purchase and quality-assure cover mounts, made another round of inspection visits, primarily to Egmont’s Asian suppliers. As some of these inspection visits are carried out as part of Egmont’s Social Compliance Programme, the focus is on social audits. The factory’s procedures and quality control systems are also reviewed. The inspection visits have resulted in the specific training of our suppliers, particularly as regards the legal requirements concerning chemicals (REACH) as well as in recommendations to our suppliers regarding human rights, working conditions and the environment.

Towards the end of 2011 a centralised purchasing organisation was established for cover mounts, Egmont Kids Media Sourcing. The objective of the organisation is to ensure that Egmont’s cover-mount purchasers use effective purchasing processes. In cooperation

Management’s review

17

with Egmont Social Compliance and Egmont Hong Kong’s QA/QC team, the organisation also ensures that Egmont’s purchasers provide better control and focus on product safety. Recommendations for process improvements will be available in 2012.

In 2005 Egmont UK established the Egmont Grading System, a paper standard to ensure that trees from endangered rain forests are not used for paper production. The Egmont Grading System has since become an industry standard in the UK under the title ‘Publishers Database for Responsible Environmental Paper Sourcing’ (PREPS).

In 2011 Egmont companies in the UK, Germany and Norway used the system, and efforts will be made in 2012 to extend its use to other Egmont companies.

More information about these initiatives will be available in the course of 2012 at www.egmont.com.

SPECIAL RISKS Part of the Egmont Group’s business is based on stable, long-standing relations with some of the world’s leading rights holders. Egmont’s strength and geographic breadth underpin its constant efforts to sustain and expand these partnerships.

Management’s review

Furthermore, by virtue of its activities the Egmont Group is exposed to various financial risks. Please refer to note 23, Financial risks and financial instruments.

OUTLOOK FOR 2012 Egmont will carry on developing media platforms, continuously adapting its media products to changing consumer needs, profitability programmes and efficiency-enhancing measures. The greatest uncertainty is associated with advertising revenue, which is sensitive to economic fluctuations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In February 2012 Egmont acquired the remaining 50 % shareholding in TV 2, Norway. TV 2, Norway, will be recognised in full in Egmont’s consolidated financial statements as of 1 February 2012, which will positively impact Egmont’s total revenue and profit for 2012, as these items were formerly recognised at 50 %. Egmont additionally acquired all shares in Venuepoint Holding ApS (Billetlugen) on 9 March 2012. Please refer to note 26, Subsequent events.

Statement by the Board of Trustees and Management Board The Board of Trustees and Management Board have today discussed and approved the annual report of the Egmont Foundation for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2011.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and additional Danish disclosure requirements according to the Danish Financial Statements Act. The financial statements of the Egmont Foundation have been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act and the financial reporting requirements of the Foundation’s Charter.

the Foundation’s financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Foundation’s assets, liabilities, and financial position at 31 December 2011, and of the results of the Group’s and the Foundation’s operations and the consolidated cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2011.

Furthermore, in our opinion, the Management’s review gives a fair review of the development in the Group’s and the Foundation’s activities and financial matters, the net profit of the year and the Group’s and the Foundation’s financial position.

*Incl. Magazines, Sweden in 2009

In the impairment test of the cash-generating units, the recoverable amount, equivalent to the discounted value of expected future net cash flows, is compared with the carrying amount of the cash-generating units.

The recoverable amount is based on the value in use, determined by using expected net cash flows that are based on management-approved budgets and business plans for 2012, projections for subsequent years up to and including 2016, and average growth during the terminal period. For the primary cash-generating units, the following pre-tax discount rates have been used: 11.5 to 14.4 % (2010: 11.5 to 14.0 % and 2009: 11.2 to 14.9 %).

Intangible assets (continued)

The average expected growth during the terminal period is -4.1 % for Magazines, Norway (2010 and 2009: -4.7 %), 2.0 % for Books, Norway, and 2.6 % for TV 2, Norway (2010 and 2009: 2.0 % and 2.6 %). Expected growth during the terminal period is not estimated to exceed the long-term average growth rate in the business areas.

The impairment tests for goodwill for 2011, 2010 and 2009 show that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the Group’s primary cash-generating units, Magazines, Norway; Books, Norway; Nordisk Film, Cinemas; and TV 2, Norway. The impairment of goodwill of 12,639 in 2010 and 11,104 in 2009 is mainly attributable to restructuring or the shutdown/disposal of activities in Magazines, Sweden, in 2009, Nordisk Film, Partners and Other units.

Trademarks Trademarks with an indefinite useful life relate to the individual cash-generating units’ primary sales. The Group is testing the carrying amount of trademarks with an indefinite useful life for impairment annually; see below:

Trademarks for Magazines, Norway, and TV 2, Norway, are tested by using the Relief from Royalty method to assess future cash flows from royalty income for the individual trademark. The royalty rate, determined on the basis of the cash-generating unit’s products and the reputation of such products, ranged from 5 to 14 % for 2009 to 2011. The trademark of Books, Norway, has been tested together with the goodwill of the cash-generating unit to which it relates.

The following pre-tax discount rates have been used: 9.9 to 11.0 % (2010: 10.0 to 11.0 % and 2009: 8.0 to 11.0 %).

The average expected growth during the terminal period is -3.5 % for Magazines, Norway (2010 and 2009: -3.5 %), 2.0 % for Books, Norway, and 2.5 % for TV 2, Norway (2010 and 2009: 2.0 % and 2.5 %).

The impairment tests for trademarks for 2009 to 2011 show that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount.

The Group assesses that probable changes in the assumptions underlying the impairment calculations will result in no need for impairment of goodwill and trademarks in the Group’s primary cash-generating units.

Film rights and in-house produced film rights The Group makes regular estimates of the useful lives of film rights and in-house produced film rights based on its expected sales in the cinema, DVD and TV media and in markets, which are naturally subject to uncertainty as actual sales may differ from estimated sales.

The Group continuously receives sales estimates, and if impairment indicators are identified, film rights and in-house produced film rights are written down for impairment. The useful lives of film rights and in-house produced film rights for 2009 to 2011 were at the expected level.

Investment properties consist of a rental property in Denmark, let out under a long-term lease. The fair value is calculated according to the net rental method, and thus the value of the property has been calculated on the basis of its expected operating income from 2010 to 2011 of about 1,800 and a required rate of return of 6 %, determined on the basis of the general market level and specific circumstances relating to the property.

The cost at 1 January 2009 of 30,870 is equivalent to the fair value at 1 January 2009 according to the annual report for 2010, presented in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. The latter value has been used as the new cost.

Rental income amounted to 2,285 (2010: 2,227 and 2009: 1,838) and operating costs to 567 (2010: 467 and 2009: 361).

At the end of the reporting period, the Group estimates the write-down to realisable value for manufactured goods and goods for resale, which primarily relates to books and game consoles. The estimate is based on expected sales and therefore subject to some uncertainty. The inventories of Lindhardt og Ringhof were reduced from 2010 to 2011, mainly as a consequence of the divestment of the Books Clubs to Gyldendal and the closure of the map publisher Legind, as well as increased digitalisation in educational publishers.

The inventories and impairment of inventories, expensed for the year amounted to 229,494 (2010: 172,461 and 2009: 180,808) and 13,356 (2010: 11,215 and 2009: 16,463), respectively. Reversed impairment of inventories in the income statement amounted to 3,760 (2010: 4,799 and 2009: 4,905). Inventories included capitalised payroll costs in the amount of 8,437 (2010: 8,733 and 2009: 9,500).

Equity The Egmont Foundation is a commercial foundation and thus subject to special conditions relating to its capital, as set out in the Foundation’s Charter. The Foundation’s assets are used for donations in connection with the Foundation’s Charitable Activities. The balance of the Foundation’s assets is transferred to a reserve to ensure that the Foundation are provided with the necessary capital for consolidation and expansion in accordance with sound business principles. The Foundation’s equity ratio stood at 39.1 % (2010: 36.4 % and 2009: 35.4 %).

Pensions The Group mainly has defined contribution pension plans, as the Group’s defined benefit pension plans in both its wholly-owned and its jointly controlled Norwegian entities were closed to new members in 2004 and 2008, respectively.

In addition, the Group has pension plans in Sweden that have been established together with other enterprises as part of collective agreements (multi-employer plans). Such plans are defined benefit plans, but are treated as defined contribution plans because the pension funds are unable to provide the information necessary to calculate the individual enterprise’s share of the obligation.

For defined benefit pension plans, the obligation is calculated at the actuarial present value at the end of the reporting period. These pension plans are funded in whole or in part through pension funds for the employees. The present value of the defined benefit pension obligations depends on the assumptions used as a basis for the actuarial calculation.

The calculation is based on assumptions relating to discount rate, expected return on assets, future wage or salary increases, mortality and future development of the pension obligation.

The primary assumptions lie within the framework determined by the public authorities in Norway and are reviewed as at the reporting date. The lower discount rate affected the defined benefit pension obligations for 2011. In 2010, the Group reviewed the primary assumptions to ensure that they were representative of the Group’s pension plans, which resulted in a change to the assumptions for pension, wage and salary adjustments.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses to the extent it is considered probable that taxable profits will be realised in the foreseeable future against which the losses can be offset. The amount to be recognised in respect of deferred tax assets is based on an estimate of the probable time of realising future taxable profits and the amount of such profits.

The Group has assessed that deferred tax assets totalling 22,156 (2010: 22,184 and 2009: 17,840), primarily attributable to Norway, can be realised in the foreseeable future. This is based on the forecast earnings base of the enterprises in which the tax assets can be utilised.

Goods sold with a right of return include magazines and books that the shops can return according to agreement. At the date of sale, the Group estimates how many goods are expected to be returned or exchanged based on historical experience of selling such goods. This estimate is naturally subject to uncertainty, as the quantity actually returned may deviate from the estimated quantity. However, the uncertainty concerning the return of magazines is limited due to the short period allowed for returning them.

Other provisions include warranty provisions, in respect of which expected partial compensation from the supplier is recognised in other receivables.

Contingent liabilities and collateral The Group has provided security to mortgage credit institutions of 112,612 (2010: 112,379 and 2009: 112,524) over corporate and investment properties, for which the carrying amount constitutes 166,192 (2010: 168,375 and 2009: 170,679). The Group’s jointly controlled entities have provided security of 2,414 to other credit institutions over miscellaneous assets (a floating charge). The carrying amount of such assets amounted to 161,436 (2010: 117,139 and 2009: 95,347).

Contractual investment commitments relating to intangible film rights amount to 29,893 (2010: 28,323 and 2009: 16,319).

Entities in the Group have furnished miscellaneous guarantees, etc., for 16,526 (2010: 20,606 and 2009: 17,972).

These figures include guarantees furnished by jointly controlled entities for 10,429 (2010: 7,425 and 2009: 7,420).

Financial risks and financial instruments As a result of its operations, investments and financing, the Egmont Group is exposed to a number of financial risks, including market risks.

Corporate Treasury is handling the centralised management of liquidity and financial risks in the Group’s wholly owned entities. Corporate Treasury operates as a counterparty to the Group’s entities, thus undertaking centralised management of liquidity and financial risks. Liquidity and financial risks arising at jointly controlled entities are reported to Corporate Treasury and thus managed on a decentralised basis. Management monitors the Group’s financial risk concentration and financial resources on an ongoing basis.

The overall framework for financial risk management is laid down in the Group’s Treasury Policy. The Treasury Policy comprises the Group’s currency and interest rate policy, financing policy and policy regarding credit risks in relation to financial counterparties and includes a description of approved financial instruments and risk framework. The overall framework is assessed on an ongoing basis.

The Group’s policy is to refrain from engaging in speculative transactions. Thus, the Group’s financial management focuses exclusively on managing and reducing financial risks that are a direct consequence of the Group’s operations, investments and financing.

There are no major changes in the Group’s risk management policy relative to 2010 and 2009.

Currency risks The Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations as a result of the individual consolidated enterprises entering into purchase and sales transactions and having receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. If the exposure exceeds the Group’s limit for currency exposure, such exposure is hedged by means of forward exchange contracts, among other hedging instruments. The value of forward exchange contracts is recognised in the income statement.

The Group’s primary currency exposure is denominated in NOK and EUR and relates to the Group’s investments in wholly owned and jointly controlled entities, including long-term intra-group loans. Basically, these currency risks are not hedged, as ongoing hedging of such long-term investments is not considered to be the best strategy based on overall risk and cost considerations.

A 5 % and 1 % drop in the exchange rates of NOK and EUR, respectively, would have impacted the 2011 profits by about EUR -8.4 million (2010: EUR -8.2 million) and about EUR 0.6 million (2010: EUR 0.5 million), respectively, and the equity at 31 December 2011 in terms of NOK by about EUR -6.8 million (2010: EUR -6.6 million), and in terms of EUR

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (EURk)

23

Financial risks and financial instruments (continued)

by about EUR 5.0 million (2010: EUR 4.4 million). A positive change in foreign exchange rates would have had a reverse impact on profits and equity based on the financial instruments recognised at end-2011 and end-2010, and unchanged figures for production/sales, unchanged price and interest rate levels.

Interest rate risks As a result of its investment and financing activities, the Group has an exposure related to fluctuations in interest levels in the Nordic countries.

The Group’s policy is to hedge interest rate risks relating to loans when it is assessed that interest payments may be secured at a satisfactory level. The Group’s interest rate risks are managed by entering into interest swap contracts, with floating rate loans being converted into fixed interest loans. The principal amount of interest swap contracts concluded by the Group for hedging purposes was EUR 90 million at 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2010. The fair value in the balance sheet amounted to EUR 20.1 million at 31 December 2011 and EUR 9.8 million in 2010, and the value adjustment of the equity for 2011 was negative by EUR 10 million and EUR 2.8 million after tax in 2010.

As a result of the Group’s use of derivative instruments to hedge its interest rate exposure relative to instruments of debt, changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments will impact the Group’s reserve for hedging transactions under equity. A one percentage point drop in interest rates would reduce equity by about EUR 11 million. In addition, such an interest rate drop would reduce the income statement by about EUR 1 million (on a 12-month rolling basis) by way of loss of interest income from net deposits and market value changes to derivative financial instruments.

Liquidity risks The Group’s liquidity reserve comprises cash and cash equivalents, securities and unutilised credit facilities. To ensure optimum utilisation of cash and cash equivalents, the Group operates with cash pools. T he Group has net deposits of EUR 104.7 million (2010: EUR 76.7 million).

The Group’s financing consists primarily of Danish floating rate mortgage loans expiring in 2028 and floating rate loans denominated in NOK maturing in 2012-13. The bulk of the latter loans were refinanced in January 2012, with the refinanced loans thus expiring in 2015.

The Group’s liabilities other than provisions fall due as shown below. The debt repayment schedule is based on undiscounted cash flows incl. estimated interest payments based on current market conditions:

Credit risks The Group’s credit risks relate primarily to trade receivables, securities and cash and cash equivalents. The Group is not exposed to any significant risks associated with a particular customer or business partner. According to the Group’s policy for accepting credit risk, all major customers are regularly credit rated.

Trade receivables The Group has received collateral relating to sales. This occurs typically in connection with the distribution of magazines where deposits are received. In addition, some of the Group’s entities take out credit insurance against losses on trade receivables to the extent deemed relevant. Collateral provided is included in an assessment of the need to make impairment. Trade receivables backed by collateral, with a consequent reduction in overall credit risk, amount to 32,322 (2010: 46,234 and 2009: 39,311).

The carrying amount of receivables and other financial liabilities (current) is equal to the fair value.

Mortgage debt and debt to other credit institutions (non-current) are floating rate cash loans, and thus the fair value is equal to the carrying amount.

Securities are measured at listed prices (level 1). Derivative financial instruments are valued at fair value on the basis of inputs other than listed prices that are observable for the liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2).

Related parties

The Egmont Foundation is a commercial foundation and has no related parties with control.

The Egmont Group’s related parties with significant influence comprise the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, Management Board and their close relatives, as well as enterprises in which this group of persons has material interests. The compensation paid to the Board of Trustees and Management Board appears from note 4.

Related parties with significant influence also comprise associates; see notes 12 and 29. Transactions with associates consisted of short-term loans to associates of 12,489 (2010: 10,475 and 2009: 3,342).

25

Standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The IASB has issued a number of new standards and interpretations that have not yet become mandatory for the Egmont Foundation’s consolidated financial statements for 2011. None of these new standards or interpretations are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements, except for: IFRS 11, Joint arrangements, will become effective from the 2013 financial year. According to the standard, it will no longer be possible to consolidate jointly controlled entities on a pro-rata basis. Jointly controlled entities are subsequently to be recognised according to the equity method, which means that the share of net profit or loss must be recognised under financial items. This will primarily result in a reduction of the Group’s revenue and operating profit (EBIT) in respect of the Norwegian part of Egmont Books, while the net profit or loss will remain unchanged. Comparative figures will have to be restated.

26

Subsequent events On 8 January 2012, the Group entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of the remaining 50 % shareholding in TV 2, Norway, the acquisition date being 1 February 2012. The Group additionally acquired all shares in Venuepoint Holding ApS (Billetlugen) on 9 March 2012. Information about business combinations after the end of the reporting period appears from note 27.

Acquisition and disposal of businesses

Acquisitions and disposals in 2011, 2010 and 2009 In 2009, the Group disposed of the TV production business area. The selling price in 2009 amounted to EUR 25 million in cash, excl. disposal costs. In 2010, the Group received additional contingent consideration of EUR 3.9 million in cash and expects no further income from the disposal. Previously recognised non-current assets amounted to EUR 1.5 million, net working capital to EUR 1.1 million and cash and cash equivalents to EUR 2.9 million.

ACQUISITIONS IN 2012

TV 2, Norway On 8 January 2012, the Group entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of the remaining 50 % shareholding in TV 2, Norway, with effect from 1 February 2012. With 100 % ownership of TV 2, the Group’s acquisition helps underpin its position as one of the Nordic region’s leading media groups.

The purchase consideration totalled EUR 274 million and included the takeover of a loan to the owners of EUR 135 million. Thus the purchase consideration for the shares amounted to EUR 139 million. Goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, represents the value of personnel, know-how, a platform for future income from advertising, distribution and user-paid services, as well as full ownership of the shares.

The acquisition was effected after the end of the reporting period, and the expected opening balance sheet is therefore based on provisionally determined fair values.

The fair value of the 50 % shareholding recognised in 2011 less the estimated control premium was provisionally determined at EUR 99 million at 1 February 2012. Based on this value and the IFRS rules regarding business combinations achieved in stages, an amount of EUR 162 million is expected to be recognised as an unrealised gain in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 50 % in 2012. The revenue and results of TV 2, Norway, are expected to remain at the same level as in 2011.

Venuepoint On 9 March 2012, the Group acquired all shares in Venuepoint Holding ApS (Billetlugen). The purchase consideration amounted to EUR 5.4 million in cash plus a subsequent payment expected to amount to EUR 3.4 million. The subsequent payment is based on expectations for future earnings. Due to the short interval between the acquisition and the approval of the annual report, it has not been practically feasible to allocate the purchase consideration to the assets and liabilities acquired.

Effect of transition to IFRS

Changes in accounting policies on transition to IFRS The annual report for 2011 is the first annual report in which the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU. The consolidated financial statements in the annual report for 2010 were prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.

On the transition to IFRS in the consolidated financial statements, the Group has used IFRS 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The opening balance sheet and comparative figures have been prepared in accordance with the standards and interpretations applicable at 31 December 2011. According to IFRS 1, the opening balance sheet is dated 1 January 2009 (date of transition) and has been prepared as if the relevant standards and interpretations had always applied, except where the special transitional and commencement provisions of IFRS have been used.

The transition to IFRS has resulted in the following changes to the Group’s accounting policies:

• Goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment at least once annually. Previously, goodwill and trademarks were amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

• Properties are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation according to the cost price method. The Group’s rental property is classified as an investment property and recognised at fair value, with value adjustments made via the income statement. Previously, properties were recognised at fair value, with revaluations made via equity.

• Revenue from the sale of film broadcasting rights to TV stations is recognised at the availability date. Previously, the sale of film broadcasting rights to TV stations was recognised at the invoice date. Royalty costs, etc. attributable to the deferred revenue are accrued and recognised under prepayments in the balance sheet.

• Marketing costs are recognised in the income statement at the date of delivery from the supplier. Previously, marketing costs were recognised under prepayments until the time of utilisation.

• Acquired film rights are recognised as an intangible asset at the time when control over the asset is obtained. Until such time, payments are recognised as prepayments for intangible assets. Previously, acquired film rights were recognised in the balance sheet under inventories at the time of conclusion of the agreement, and the portion of film rights for which the rights owner had not been paid was recognised under current trade payables.

• The portion of in-house produced film rights attributable to the sale of broadcasting rights is included in deferred revenue and is recognised as revenue in the income statement once the TV stations and distribution companies can freely use the asset. Previously, the sale of broadcasting rights was included in the net asset comprising in-house produced film rights.

• Actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Previously, actuarial gains and losses were recognised as personnel costs in the income statement.

• Securities managed in accordance with a documented investment strategy are recognised at fair value at the end of the reporting period, using the fair value option. Value adjustments are recognised directly in the income statement. Previously, securities were recognised at cost and fair value in the balance sheet, respectively, and value adjustments were recognised in the income statement.

• The fair value changes of interest rate swaps are recognised in the income statement in the cases where the swaps are ineffective according to the IFRS documentation requirements, or where the Group has chosen not to use IFRS hedge accounting.

Effect of transition to IFRS (continued)

• Barter agreements where the services exchanged are dissimilar are recognised at fair value and accrued as the services are performed or over the period specified in the concluded agreement. Fair value is measured at the value of either the delivered or the received services, depending on which services can be measured accurately.

• Impact of the changes on deferred tax.

The Group has chosen to make use of the following optional exemptions in IFRS 1: • Business combinations effected before the date of transition, 1 January 2009, have not been adapted to IFRS. • For corporate and investment properties, the cost at the date of transition has been fixed at the carrying amount according to the annual report for 2010 (equivalent to the fair value).

• The reserve for foreign exchange adjustments was reset to zero at the date of transition.

Reclassifications Apart from the changes in the accounting policies relating to recognition and measurement, the following reclassifications and layout changes, including a restatement of comparative figures, have been made:

• Compensation from third parties relating to warranty provisions is recognised as other receivables. Previously, compensation from third parties was recognised under warranty provisions.

• Non-controlling interests are presented as part of the Group’s equity.

• Provisions are divided into non-current and current liabilities.

• Deferred tax is presented under other non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

• The portfolio of TV programmes is presented under inventories.

• Foreign exchange adjustments arising on the translation of foreign entities, etc., value adjustments of hedging instruments and actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit pension plans are recognised as other comprehensive income.

1 Accounting policies The financial statements of the Egmont Foundation have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements Act applying to class C enterprises (large) and the financial reporting requirements of the Foundation’s Charter.

The accounting policies have been changed such that investments in subsidiaries and associates, which were previously recognised according to the equity method, are now measured at cost. As a consequence of this change, value adjustments to investments and equity have been reversed. Comparative figures have been restated. The change has been introduced to achieve better coherence between the Foundation’s financial statements and the provisions of the Charter concerning distribution of net profit. The effect is a EUR 135.5 million reduction of equity at 1 January 2010; see note 7.

No cash flow statement has been included for the Egmont Foundation, as reference is made to the consolidated cash flow statement.

Royalty income, etc.

Royalties received are accrued and recognised as income in accordance with the concluded agreement.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost. Where cost is lower than the recoverable amount, impairments are made to this lower value.

Dividends Dividends from investments in subsidiaries and associates are recognised in the financial year in which the dividend is declared, typically at the time when the general meeting approves the distribution of dividend by the relevant company.

To the extent that the dividend distributed exceeds accumulated earnings after the acquisition date, dividend is recognised as a reduction of the cost of the investment.

Equity Profit is distributed according to the Foundation’s Charter. The Charitable Activities’ donations and associated expenses are charged directly to the liquid reserve fund under equity.

The Foundation’s equity consists of a capital fund and a reserve fund intended for the Commercial Activities. The capital fund is an undistributable reserve, while the reserve fund comprises distributable reserves. The charitable fund serves to ensure the existence of funds required for the Egmont Foundation’s Charitable Activities. The liquid reserve fund is the amount which is to be used for charitable purposes under the Foundation’s Charter within the scope of the Charitable Activities.

In the calculation of tax, due allowance is made for the deductibility of charitable donations made according to the Egmont Foundation’s Charter. These are charged to equity. Tax provisions for future donations are also taken into account. Provision for deferred tax is made in case the Egmont Foundation does not expect to use liquid funds for charitable purposes equal to the tax provisions.
