Sources of information |
|
The information contained in this publication is derived from carefully selected public sources we believe are reasonable, particularly from providers of financial data, the issuers’ own publications as well as other public media. |
|
Principles and methods of valuation |
|
For the preparation of this publication VISCARDI has used methods of fundamental share analysis as well as quantitative/statistical methods and models (inter alia historical valuation approaches, asset-based evaluation methods or sum-of-the-parts methods, discount models or the Economic profit approach, multiple-based models or peer-group comparisons). Valuation models are dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as exchange rates, interest rates, row materials, and on assumptions about the economy. Furthermore, market sentiment and political developments affect the valuation of companies. The valuation is also based on expectations that might change rapidly and without notice, depending on developments specific to individual industries. Consequently, our recommendations and price targets derived from the models might change accordingly. The investment ratings related to a 12-month period are subject to market conditions and can only represent a snapshot. The ratings might in fact be achieved more quickly or slowly than expected, or need to be revised upward or downward. |

Analyst Declaration |

The author’s remuneration has not been, and will not be connected with the investment recommendations or views expressed in this publication, neither directly nor indirectly. |
|
Organisational provisions to avoid conflicts of interests |
|
In order to prevent conflicts of interests VISCARDI has separated business units with access to confidential information (confidential units) from its research units by functional and/or special separation or by setting up access authorisation for data. In particular, Investment banking units and units of other financial advisory as well as capital market activities, are segregated by physical and non-physical boundaries from the research department of VISCARDI. This segregation of VISCARDI’s operative units as well as the transfer of the – often stock-exchange price relevant - information is controlled by a unit independent from trade-, corporate- and transaction units (compliance). This guarantees that the stock-exchange price relevant information is not being misused or being transferred illegally to units with access to publicly available information only. |
