The provision for legal cases (2023: CHF 0.6 million and 2022: CHF 5.0 million) relates to several legal cases with former customers and employees in different subsidiaries, for which the timing of settlement is uncertain at year-end.

 

The position ‘other’ includes: 1. provisions to cover commitments related to other non-current employee benefits (2023: CHF 7.3 million and 2022: CHF 7.2 million), 2. provisions in connections with controversial VAT and sales/use tax positions (2023: CHF 1.7 million and 2022: CHF 2.2 million) 3. several minor provisions (2023: CHF 1.9 million and 2022: CHF 0.5 million).
