Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1. General information The consolidated financial statements of the Kardex Group include Kardex AG and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the “Group” and individually as the “Group companies”). Kardex AG is the Group’s parent company, a limited company under Swiss law, which is registered and domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland. Kardex AG is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The Group’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with the provisions of Swiss company law and are in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER (FER) in their entirety.
2. Significant accounting policies Basis of preparation
Consolidation is based on the individual Group companies’ audited financial statements, prepared on a consistent basis. Balance sheet date for all Group companies is 31 December. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis with the exception of derivative financial instruments, which might be stated at fair value.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include Kardex AG as well as all domestic and foreign subsidiaries in which Kardex AG holds a direct or indirect ownership. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method. All subsidiaries in which the Group holds more than 50 % of the voting power or is able to exercise a controlling influence on the Company’s operating or financial policies are accounted for using the full consolidation method, which incorporates assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses in their entirety. IntraGroup balances, transactions and profits not realized through third parties are eliminated in the consolidation process. Kardex AG currently has no investments with a voting power less than 20 %, no investments in associated companies nor is it participating in joint ventures.
Foreign currency translation
Group currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in million euros. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in foreign currencies and adjustments of foreign-currency items as at the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement. Financial statements of subsidiaries in foreign currency The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose financial statements are prepared in currencies other than the euro are converted for consolidation purposes as follows: – Assets and liabilities are translated on balance sheet date at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. – Revenues and expenses as well as cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate. – Equity is translated at historical rates. All resulting translation differences are shown separately under equity (cumulative translation differences). Foreign currency impacts on long-term intra-Group loans with equity characteristics are recognized in equity.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging transactions
The Group uses derivative financial instruments exclusively to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments for the hedging of assets and liabilities are measured initially and also subsequently in accordance with the same valuation principle as the hedged item. This means that if the hedged item is measured at fair value, the derivative financial instrument is also measured at fair value. If the lower of cost or market value is applied to the hedged item, a loss in value on the derivative financial instrument does not need to be recognized if, based on the application of lower of cost or market value, no increase in value is possible on the hedged item. The changes in value of the derivative financial instrument are recognized in the income statement, i. e. in the same way as the hedged item. The gain/loss on the derivative is neutralized by the loss/gain on the hedged item. A derivative is eliminated as soon as the end of the term has been reached or as soon as there is no further claim to future payments following disposal or default by the counterparty. At derecognition the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or given is recognized in the result of the period.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Property, plant and equipment
Owned assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Acquisition and construction cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition and necessary to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use. Interest expenses during the construction phase of property, plant and equipment are not capitalized. Leased assets Leasing agreements under which the Group company essentially assumes all the risks and rewards associated with the acquisition are treated as finance leases. These assets are stated at an amount equal to the lower of cost of acquisition/net fair value or present value of the future lease payments at the start of the agreement, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Obligations arising from finance leasing are recognized as liabilities. Subsequent costs Major renovation or modernization work, as well as expenses that significantly increase fair value or value in use, and expenditure that extends the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment, are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized directly under operating expenses. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings
25 to 50 years
Machinery and production tools
4 to 10 years
Equipment and vehicles
6 to 12 years
Information technology (hardware)
3 years
Depreciation of an item of property, plant or equipment begins when actual operational use commences. Property, plant and equipment under construction is not depreciated, but is regularly assessed for indication of a need to take im pairment charges. Depreciation expenses are included in “Cost of goods sold and services provided”, “Marketing and sales expenses”, “Administrative expenses” and “Development expenses”. The residual value and the useful economic life of the property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary. Gains and losses arising from the sale of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the income statement.
Intangible assets
Goodwill Goodwill, the difference between the cost of acquisitions and the fair value of the net assets acquired, results from the purchase of subsidiaries. Any goodwill that arises is offset against equity (retained earnings) at the time of acquisition. In case of the disposal of a subsidiary, acquired goodwill offset against equity at an earlier date is stated at original cost to determine the profit or loss recognized in the income statement. The effects of a theoretical capitalization of goodwill with scheduled depreciation and any value adjustment to balance sheet and income statement during a useful life of five years are disclosed in the notes. Internally generated intangible assets Expenditure on development activities related to new technologies or know-how is recognized in the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. Capitalized development costs prior to conversion to FER in 2010 are depreciated over the remaining useful life. Acquired intangible assets Acquired intangible assets are capitalized where they will generate measurable benefits for the Group over several years. Acquired intangible assets are stated at cost of production or acquisition less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Subsequent costs Subsequent expenditure on existing intangible assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits of the assets concerned to at least the same extent. All other expenditure is expensed at the time incurred. Amortization Amortization of intangible assets is charged to the income statement on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of intangible assets begins at the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Capitalized development costs
3 years
Licences and patents
5 years
Trademark rights
5 years
Capitalized software
5 years
Other intangible assets
5 years
Amortization is included in “Cost of goods sold and services provided”, “Marketing and sales expenses”, “Administrative expenses” and “Development expenses”. The residual value and the useful economic life of the intangible assets are reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary. Profits and losses arising from the sale of intangible assets are recognized in the income statement.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Financial assets
Impairment of assets
Financial assets are normally measured at acquisition cost less any impairments.
Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets are tested as at each balance sheet date to determine whether any events or changes in circ*mstances have occurred that might indicate an impairment. Where such indications exist, an impairment test is conducted. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of net fair value and value in use of the asset. The recoverable amount is normally determined for each asset. If the asset in question does not generate any separate cash flows, the smallest possible group of assets that generate separate cash flows is taken. Where the impairment exceeds the residual carrying amount, a provision amounting to the remaining difference is made. On each balance sheet date, impairments recorded are checked to establish whether the reasons that led to the impairment still apply to the same extent. If the reasons for an impairment no longer apply, the value will be reinstated up to a maximum of the carrying amount as adjusted according to scheduled depreciations. The reverse booking is recognized in the income statement.
Trade accounts receivable and other current assets
Accounts receivable are stated at nominal value less any impairments. The value adjustment consists of individual allowances for specifically identified positions for which there are objective indications that the outstanding amount will not be received in full and of a collective allowance for other long-overdue positions.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition/production cost or net fair value. Net fair value is defined as the value of the sales proceeds less the remaining costs of production, sale and administration incurred until the time of sale. Inventories are valued on a weighted-average basis. The acquisition and production cost also includes the cost of purchase and transport of inventories. In the case of inventories manufactured by the Group, production costs also include an appropriate share of overhead. Discounts are treated as financial income. Adjustments are made for items lacking marketability and for slow-moving items.
Construction contracts
Provided contractual performance by the customer is highly probable and income and expenses arising from long-term construction contracts can be reliably estimated, the resulting revenues are reported using the percentage-of-completion method: the revenues and expenses are recognized in the income statement proportionately to the stage of completion. The stage of completion is determined using the cost-to-cost method, i. e. by calculating the ratio between the project costs incurred to date and the estimated overall costs of the project. Expected losses from construction contracts are immediately recognized in the income statement at the date of detection.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, postal and bank account balances and other liquid investments with a maximum total maturity of three months from the balance sheet date.
Repurchase of treasury shares
Dividend
Liabilities
If the Group repurchases its own shares, the payments, including directly related costs, are deducted from equity. Any gains or losses arising from transactions with treasury shares are recognized in equity (capital reserves).
Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are approved.
Liabilities are normally shown at their nominal value. The 2.25 % convertible bond with a nominal value of CHF 55.0 million was repaid to bondholders on schedule on 29 June 2011. No currency loss was incurred as the currency risk against the EUR had been hedged. From the hedging transaction, EUR 0.4 million from shareholders’ equity was reclassified as financial income of the income statement.
Employee benefits
Pension plans There are several employee pension plans within the Group, each of which complies with legal requirements for the country in question. A majority of employees are insured against retirement, death and disability, whether through a defined benefit or defined contribution plan. These plans are funded by contributions from employees and employers. Actual economic impacts of employee pension plans on the Group are calculated on the balance sheet date. The pension plans’s financial position is relevant to the measurement of pension assets and pension liabilities. In the case of Swiss pension plans, the financial statements prepared in accordance with FER 26 “Accounting of pension plans” constitute the basis. An economic obligation is carried as a liability if the conditions for the formation of a provision are met. An economic benefit is capitalized if it is used for the Group’s future employee benefit expenses. Freely disposable employer contribution reserves are capitalized. The economic impacts of pension fund surpluses and shortfalls and the change in any employer contribution reserves are recognized in the income statement together with the amounts accrued over the same period. These same principles are applied in the case of foreign pension plans. Share-based payments Share-based payments are recognized at fair value at the moment of granting and, until such time as entitlement is asserted, are charged to the corresponding positions in the income statement as personnel expenses. Since these remunerations are settled with equity capital instruments, the counter-entry is recognized in equity.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Provisions
Provisions are made – insofar as the Group has, or may have, an actual or possible obligation (legal or constructive) due to past events, – insofar as it is probable that settlement of this obligation will lead to an outflow of resources, – insofar as the extent of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the time effect is significant, long-term provisions at the present value of probable future cash outflows will be made. Warranties The provision for warranty risks from the sale of products and services is based on information about warranties from earlier periods. Restructuring Restructuring costs are provided for in the period in which an official, detailed restructuring plan is available to the Group and is announced. No provision is made for future operating losses.
Revenues from goods sold and services provided
Net revenues include all revenues from products sold and services provided less items such as rebates, other agreed discounts and value-added tax. Early payer discounts are reported in the financial result. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer which is most frequently after finalized installation or based on an accepted incoterm such as EXW, FOB or DDP. Provided that the conditions are met (see “Construction contracts”), the revenues resulting from construction contracts are reported using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from services are recognized according to the stage of completion. No revenue is recognized if there is significant uncertainty regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.
Government grants
Operating lease payments
Finance lease payments
Asset-related subsidies are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease payments are allocated between the financing costs and repayment of the principal. The finance costs are allocated to each period during the lease term to produce a constant rate of interest over the term of the liability.
Funding
Net financing costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and finance leasing, interest earned on investments, earnings and expenses from discounts, gains and losses from foreign currency translation, as well as gains and losses from derivative financial instruments used for exchange rate hedging, all of which are recognized in the income statement. Interest income and expense as well as gains or losses from interest rate hedging are recognized in the income statement as they accrue.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the income statement unless it relates to items recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustment to tax payable related to previous years. Income tax is calculated using tax rates already in force or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method on the basis of tax rates already in force or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and is based on temporary differences between FER carrying amounts and the tax base. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are netted only if they relate to the same taxable entity. Tax savings due to tax loss carryforwards on future taxable income are not recognized.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated net result attributable to the shareholders of Kardex AG by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. The diluted earnings per share figure additionally includes the shares that might arise following the exercising of option rights.

The low effective tax rate of 12.7 % (25.4 %) is largely attributable to the usage of tax losses carryforward. The expected average tax rate for the year under review is 25.2 % (24.3 %) which is also applied for the deferred tax calculation. Deferred tax assets from tax losses carryforward are not capitalized. The tax losses carryforward expire as follows: 8.2 Tax losses carryforward EUR millions

Kardex AG’s share capital is denominated in EUR. When Kardex AG’s functional currency was changed from CHF to EUR, the share capital was historically converted; therefore, there are no currency translation effects on the share capital. As at 31 December 2012, there were 7 730 000 (7 730 000) fully paid up registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 11.00 (CHF 11.00) outstanding. At the General Meeting of 24 April 2012 shareholders approved to abandon the remaining authorized capital. The capital reserves comprise premiums as well as gains/losses from transactions with treasury shares. In the period under review, the Executive Committee drew as part of their compensation for the 2011 financial year 6709 (2010: 1891) shares from the Company’s holdings of treasury shares. In the period under review, the Board of Directors drew as part of their compensation for the 2012 financial year 9599 (2011: 10 324) shares from the Company’s holdings of treasury shares. As of 31December 2012, Kardex AG held 21 500 (3149) treasury shares, which were purchased at an average share price of CHF 26.24 each. In 2011, the Board of Directors conducted a capital increase and issued 2 102 547 registered shares with a par value of CHF 11.00 each, thereby raising the share capital by CHF 23 128 017 to CHF 85 030 000.

On 17 August 2011, Kardex AG took out a syndicated loan in the total amount of EUR 50 million, arranged by UBS AG (42.86 %), Credit Suisse AG (35.71 %) and Zürcher Kantonalbank (21.43 %). This facility is divided into a credit line totalling EUR 20 million (tranche A), which has to be amortized, and a revolving, working capital credit line of EUR 30 million (tranche B). The credit line subject to amortization can be drawn in EUR and is subject to annual ordinary amortization of EUR 5.0 million payable on 30 April each year. Tranche B is for the financing of working capital and non-current operating assets and can be drawn in EUR and CHF or other freely convertible currencies acceptable to all lenders. The interest rate for tranche A as at 31 December 2012 was 1.607 % and is based on the Euribor rate of 0.107 % plus a margin of 1.50 % to cover Company-specific risk. Tranche B was not utilized as at 31 December 2012. The interest margin on the syndicated loan may decrease if the net debt/EBITDA ratio improves accordingly. Both tranches mature on 30 April 2015. The commitment fee for tranche B is 35 % of the respective current interest margin for the calculation period, calculated on the average undrawn amount. Compliance with the covenants agreed with the banks must be confirmed quarterly. The covenants include key financial figures relating to the leverage factor and equity ratio. All covenants were complied with as at 31 December 2012. Financial liabilities at year-end in all currencies had an average interest rate of 3.01 % (4.89 %). The market-dependent interest component of the syndicated loan depends on the development of the Euribor rate, on the one hand, and the chosen interest period, on the other; it is fixed for one to six whole months, depending on the choice of interest period.

Employees and former employees receive different employee benefits and retirement pensions, which are determined in accordance with the legislative provisions in the countries concerned. All Swiss companies in the Group are members of collective foundations, which are not direct risk-takers. These pension plans are funded by contributions from employer and employee. The private pension plans in Switzerland are structured for the purpose of building up retirement assets with conversion into fixed retirement pensions and supplementary risk benefits. Some of the pension plans abroad are made into independent schemes. Measure-

Current provisions
Deferred tax liabilities are shown net after offsetting them against deferred tax assets. Netting takes place at individual company level. The provisions for legal disputes and contractual penalties relate to ongoing proceedings. They include provisions for contractual obligations as well as warranties from the sale of an operating segment no longer retained. The provision for warranties covers the cost for guarantee claims. The actual amount is based on current sales and available data. Experience shows that the provisions will be used in the following one to two years. For employee benefit obligations, see note 19. Provisions for restructuring relate to measures to adjust cost structures in Kardex France SASU (FR) and the finalization of the closure of the plant in Lewistown (USA). Provisions for restructuring include severance payments and are only be charged to the balance sheet once the restructuring decision has been announced. Normally the expenses would fall due within the course of one year. Additions in “Others” and also partially in “Legal disputes” were mainly booked in order to cover estimated losses in project business. Other provisions also contain various individual positions that are essentially connected with maintenance and service agreements. Additional details of the other provisions will not be given as these details may impair the position of the Group in ongoing proceedings.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30. Risk management
As part of its duty to supervise the Company, the Board of Directors performs at least once in a year a systematic risk assessment. The risk assessment was based on a company-specific risk universe and on information obtained from interviews with division and Group management. Risks were recorded according to likelihood, reputational risk and potential financial impact. This process is supported by a risk matrix that describes and values the substantial risks valid for the Group according the following categories: external environment, strategy, management and leadership, production, market and sales, information technology and finance and compliance. Measures in order to cope with these risks are also contained in the risk matrix. The Board of Directors has noted the report of the Executive Committee on the Group-wide risk management at the meeting on 13 December 2012 and approved the measures contained therein.
31. Release for publication and approval of the financial statements
32. Events after the balance sheet date
The Board of Directors approved these financial statements on 13 March 2013 and released them for publication. They must also be approved by the Shareholders General Meeting.
No events have taken place between 31 December 2012 and 13 March 2013 that would require an adjustment of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Group or need to be disclosed here.
Report of the statutory auditor on the consolidated financial statements
Report of the statutory auditor on the consolidated financial statements To the General Meeting of Shareholders of Kardex AG, Zurich Zurich, 13 March 2013 As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kardex AG, presented on pages 48 to 78, which comprise the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Board of Directors’ Responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and the requirements of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further re sponsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circ*mstances. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circ*mstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and comply with Swiss law. Report on Other Legal Requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circ*mstances incompatible with our independence. In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors. We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

1. Accounting principles
The financial statements of Kardex AG comply with the requirements of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The accounts of Kardex AG are kept in euros as functional currency. As at 31 December, the annual financial statements are translated into Swiss francs: – Assets and liabilities are translated at closing rates. – The income statement and movements in equity capital are translated at average year-end rates. – Equity capital is translated at historic rates. – Translation differences are taken to income in accordance with the imparity principle (provisioning of unrealized gains). Since 2011 Kardex AG adopted the closing rate method also for shareholdings and loans to Group companies which resulted in an unrealized price loss of CHF 45.7 million in 2011. In former years historic rates were applied for those positions.
