The figures for 2011 relate to the key figures from continuing operations in line with IFRS 5. The previous-year figures for the income statement and the cash flow statement have been adjusted accordingly. According to IFRS, key figures from the previ- ous-year statement of financial position are not to be adjusted. The Belgian activities and the Dutch TV and Print activities were deconsolidated with the completion of the contracts for the sale of the participation at the beginning of June and end of July 2011 respectively. As a result these companies are separately reported as dis- continued operations. The result from discontinued operations contains the net profit and the profit of deconsolidation after taxes. VIEWING THE FUTURE Television is more important than ever - because it achieves something that no other medium can: TELEVISION brings people together, to laugh and to marvel, to talk and to have fun. We use this power of television to tap into new growth areas in the digital age – with the ProSiebenSat.1 FOUR-PILLAR strategy. This is how we shape the television of the future today. ProSiebenSat.1. THE POWER OF TELEVISION. TELEVISION OF THE FUTURE Those who BELIEVED THAT TELEVISION WOULD BECOME LESS SIGNIFICANT IN THE DIGITAL AGE CAN ONLY STAND IN AMAZEMENT: USAGE FIGURES ARE HIGH AND UNCHANGED – TELEVISION IS AND WILL REMAIN THE NO. 1 MEDIUM. HOW CAN THIS BE? Has the entertainment world not already fragmented into INDIVIDUAL NEEDS? There are countless clips that can be downloaded, streamed and taken anywhere. Films and series are called up via video-on-demand depending on time and inclina- tion. Tidbits of information are available in infinite quantities – in tweets, Facebook messages, blog entries. Everywhere there are special-interest programs for every target group segment. And in such a world, what do different GENERATIONS have to say to each other, family members for example, who all seem to be leading their own separate lives? Television itself provides the answer, because it is better attuned to these conditions than any other medium. Because it CONNECTS PEOPLE and provides a common point of reference – and at the same time is open for individual use. ProSiebenSat.1 is successful in using the potential of television in an extraordinary way. Recently, the innovative music show “The Voice of Germany” proved in a spectacular fashion what powerful television can do, now and in the future. If families and friends get together to be ENTHRALLED by one and the same story ... If you can experience a whole program or the most emotional MOMENTS later, whenever and as often as you like ... If you can share these EXPERIENCES and have con- versations, in online networks and on the website where fasci- nating additional material is offered ... If you have access to the largest online video library in Europe ... If you discover the per- fect TV station, as if it were made especially for your OWN INTERESTS – in Germany and in many other countries ... If you can also shop or play with your television ... If you see formats that you have never seen like that before … … then your are experiencing the TELEVISION OF THE FUTURE today. With ProSiebenSat.1.
