ohiostate | Extrait du rapport financier 4Q de BWIN
Following the cessation of the US business, bwin took an impairment charge of EUR 515.1 million due to the non–cash depreciation of the customer base and goodwill as a result of the bwin Games acquisition. Due to regulatory changes in Turkey, resulting in the temporary withdrawal of bwin’s range of online gaming products, bwin completely impaired the Turkish customer base by EUR 1.6 million. As a consequence, the operating result for 2006 declined to minus EUR 587.5 million compared to EUR 7.7 million in 2005. A loss after tax and minority interests of EUR 539.6 million was reported for financial year 2006, following a profit of EUR 6.4 million the previous year.
The European market continues to be characterized by numerous protectionist measures from individual governments that are intended to protect state monopolies, despite the ECJ decisions, and despite the fact that the EC commission has taken the infringement proceedings against Finland, Denmark and Hungary to the next level, and sent reminders to Germany and the Netherlands. In particular, the situation in Germany is still marked by the debate over a state treaty on gaming that is intended to impose a general ban on online gaming, and many judicial controversies among state gaming providers and authorities, as well as private providers and their advertising partners. In Germany in particular, certain Länder (federal states) have initiated injunction proceedings against bwin. In France, investigations are still under way against board members for alleged violation of the French state monopoly on games of chance.
Due to strong recent political pressure to maintain the state monopoly situation, it can be expected that this state of legal uncertainty will continue for several more years at the Community level. The bwin Group will however continue to call upon every legal option to combat such measures, especially by invoking European fundamental liberties such as the freedom to provide services and freedom of establishment.
