The CPH Group is transferring certain land assets to a newly-founded real estate subsidiary in a move that will generate deferred tax income of around CHF 12 million. This will raise the Group’s non-recurring income for 2020 to some CHF 26 million. The CPH Group now expects to report a net result for the current year of around CHF 40 million.

Perlen, 26 October 2020 – The CPH Group is to transfer certain land assets at its Perlen site to the newly-founded Perlen Papier Immobilien AG. The transaction, which will be effected at market values, will permit a clearer distinction to be made between the Group’s operating and real estate activities.
