Annual Report 2015/2016

dorma+kaba

Sales and profitability 
targets achieved

In these consolidated full-year financial statements 
for 2015 / 2016, the former Dorma Group’s entities 
are consolidated from 1 September 2015 (for ten 
months) in line with Swiss GAAP FER.
Unless otherwise stated, the published prior-year 
figures relate to the business activities of the former 
Kaba Group.
To ensure the financial key figures reflect the 
 dorma + kaba Group’s market position and to 
increase the significance and the interpretability, 
separate pro forma figures are shown as the  
Dorma Group would have been consolidated since  
1 July 2015. 
Hence, besides the actual results also pro forma 
 results on Group level for the reporting period and 
for the full 2014 / 2015 financial year are available. 
The pro forma results of the previous year were 
converted with the exchange rate of the full-year 
financial statements 2015 / 2016 in order to increase 
the comparability also in this respect. Commentaries 
in the texts about the income statement refer to 
these pro forma figures (with the figures reported 
under Swiss GAAP FER in brackets).

Sales
On a pro forma basis, the combined Group generated net 
sales of CHF 2,302.6 million in the financial year 2015/2016 
(reported: CHF 2,115.9 million), an increase of 2.6 % using 
constant exchange rates. Organic sales growth was 2.3 %, 
while acquisition effects contributed 0.3 % to sales growth. 

Profitability
On a comparable pro forma basis, EBITDA for the report-
ing period increased by CHF 29.1 million and came to 
CHF 332.7 million. The EBITDA margin improved to 14.4 %, 
compared to 13.5 % in the same period of the previous  
year (reported: CHF 311.4 million, resp. 14.7 %). The higher 
profitability was mainly due to a very positive business de-
velopment of Access Solutions AMER in North America and 
due to first cost savings as a consequence of the merger. 

EBIT during the period under review reached 

CHF 278.2 million on a pro forma basis, and the EBIT mar-
gin increased to 12.1 % from 11.1 % in the same period of 
the previous year (reported: CHF 261.6 million, resp. 12.3 %) 
for the same reasons as mentioned above.

Financial result, ordinary result and taxes
The net financial result on a pro forma basis came to 
CHF –16.2 million (reported: CHF –12.7 million). The pro 
forma financial expense of CHF 23.3 million (reported: 
CHF 19.1 million) included mainly interests for loans and 
pension liabilities as well as exchange rate losses. 

The ordinary result on a pro forma basis came to 

CHF 262.0 million compared to CHF 239.9 million in the  
previous year (reported: CHF 248.9 million).

The extraordinary result of CHF – 89.4 million (pro forma 
and reported) covers exclusively integration costs relating 
to the merger of dorma + kaba. 

Tax expense on a pro forma basis was CHF 55.4 million, 
representing a tax rate of 32.1 % (reported: CHF 54.8 mil-
lion, or 34.4 %). The tax rate in 2015 / 2016 was above the 
comparable base of the previous year (pro forma basis: 
22.2 %) as it was negatively impacted by losses related to 
post-merger integration projects which resulted in tax  
losses as dorma + kaba does not recognize deferred taxes 
on tax loss carryforwards.

Net profit
Net profit on a pro forma basis was impacted by the 
merger-related integration costs and came to 
CHF 117.2 million (reported: CHF 104.7 million) compared 
to CHF 186.6 million in the previous year. Net profit after 
minorities on a pro forma basis was CHF 60.4 million  
(reported: CHF 53.9 million).

Cash flow and balance sheet
Cash generated from operations was CHF 327.6 million, 
and free cash flow came to CHF 268.8 million compared  
to CHF –38.2 million in the previous year. Cash flow from 
financing activities was CHF – 213.2 million mainly due  
to dividend payments in a total amount of CHF 240.7 mil-
lion (payment of the ordinary dividend and the special  
dividend, which was related to the merger transaction, 
both by former Kaba).

The combined dorma + kaba Group reported total assets 

of CHF 1,579.3 million as at the balance sheet date of  
30 June 2016. Within current assets, cash and cash equiva-
lents amounted to CHF 213.2 million and inventories to 
CHF 364.0 million. Non-current assets consisted mainly of 
property, plant and equipment worth CHF 330.0 million. 
 Liabilities totaled CHF 898.8 million, with financial liabilities 
coming to CHF 54.1 million. As at 30 June 2016, the  combined 
Group’s net cash position came to CHF 159.1 million. With 
an equity of CHF 680.5 million and an equity ratio of 43.2 %, 
dorma + kaba Group holds a very solid financial profile.

Currency effects
Due to the Swiss National Bank’s discontinuation of the 
CHF 1.20 minimum rate on 15 January 2015, the Swiss 
franc showed a significant value increase against the Euro 
in the reporting period. The average Euro exchange rate 
against the Swiss franc compared to the previous year 
went down by 4.0 % from CHF 1.133 to CHF 1.087. In con-
trast, the average exchange rate of the US dollar went up 
by 4.1 % from CHF 0.941 to CHF 0.980, compensating part 
of the negative currency effects. The impact of foreign 
currencies on a pro forma basis on net sales for 2015/2016 
was CHF – 60.7 million, respectively CHF –5.8 million on 
EBITDA.

1.  General information

Description of business
Strategy
dorma + kaba Group is one of the leading companies in the 
global security and access solutions market. With its 
 excellent product and solutions portfolio along the entire 
value-added chain, the Group provides its customers  
with products, solutions and services for anything related 
to doors and secure access to buildings and rooms. 
 dorma + kaba has distribution channels and production 
 facilities in all of the industries’ key markets and will 
 accelerate global expansion through the strengthened 
presence in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. 
 dorma + kaba is a growth-oriented company with a strong 
anchor shareholder group that will ensure the long-term 
oriented strategy of dorma + kaba Group. In order to grow 
profitably and to maximize the creation of value for all  
its stakeholders, dorma + kaba focuses on a clearly defined 
strategy with the following elements: 
•  Superior offering for needs along life cycle; 
•  Expanded presence in markets and verticals; 
•  Drive enterprise excellence along the value chain; 
•  Lead in innovation for superior customer value; 
•  Optimized management of the business portfolio  

and disciplined M & A activities; 

•  Have the right people at the right place. 
These strategic pillars are based on the two foundations 
of sustainability and enhancing the global brand power.

Operating model
dorma + kaba has divided the areas of business in which  
the company is globally active into six segments. Access 
Solutions (AS), which comprises four segments, is struc-
tured by region: AS AMER (North and South America),  
AS APAC (Asia-Pacific), AS DACH (Germany, Austria, and 
Switzerland) and AS EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and 
 Africa). The two other globally focused segments are Key 
Systems and Movable Walls. 

In order to meet customers’ needs in the most effective 

way, dorma + kaba’s operating model is based on a matrix 
structure and therefore all four Access Solutions segments 
have a dual responsibility. The global Access Solutions 
product portfolio is arranged into eight global product 
clusters, and is assigned to specific segments along  
with the relevant production facilities, regardless of the 
geographic location (intercompany sales): Services, 
 Lodging Systems and Safe Locks, Door Hardware, Interior 
Glass Systems and Entrance Systems, and Master Key 
 Systems and Electronic Access & Data. These global product 
clusters are complemented by local products in all Access 
Solutions segments. 

dorma + kaba operates in the following businesses on  
a worldwide basis:
•  Access Solutions AMER (AS AMER): The AS AMER 

 segment includes dorma + kaba Group’s business activi-
ties for access solutions in North and South America.  
AS AMER also has overall responsibility across all segments 
for the global product clusters Services, Lodging Systems 
and Safe Locks.

•   Access Solutions APAC (AS APAC): This segment includes 
dorma + kaba Group’s business activities for access solu-
tions in the Asia-Pacific region.

•   Access Solutions DACH (AS DACH): The AS DACH 

 segment includes the dorma + kaba Group’s business 
 activities for access solutions in Germany, Austria,  
and Switzerland. AS DACH also has cross-segment 
 responsibility for the following global product clusters: 
Door Hardware, Interior Glass Systems and Entrance 
Systems, including the relevant production facilities and 
competence centers in Singapore, Suzhou (China), Melaka 
(Malaysia), and Sofia (Bulgaria).

•   Access Solutions EMEA (AS EMEA): This segment includes 
the dorma + kaba Group’s business activities for access 
solutions in Europe (excluding DACH), the Middle East, and 
Africa. AS EMEA also has cross-segment responsibility 
for the global product clusters Master Key Systems and 
Electronic Access & Data, including the associated pro-
duction facilities and competence centers, in particular 
in Wetzikon and Rümlang (Switzerland), Herzogenburg 
and Eggenburg (Austria), and Villingen-Schwenningen 
(Germany).

Key Systems: Within the new dorma + kaba Group’s segment 
structure, Key Systems has remained as it was before the 
merger. As a globally active segment Key Systems includes 
its established product clusters Keys, Key Cutting Machines, 
and Automotive Solutions. 

Movable Walls: The Movable Walls segment, created in 2015, 
has global activities in the space-dividing systems sector. 
Movable Walls specializes in partitioning systems with its 
two product groups Acoustic Movable Partitions and 
Glass Horizontal Sliding Walls. It has production facilities  
in Germany, the U.S., and Malaysia.

Other: Operations involving contactless identification 
 systems and trusted services that do not fit into the basic 
segment structure are included in this segment. These 
 systems are based on Legic SmartCard and Connect 
 technologies.

8153 Rümlang, Switzerland.

The company is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX).

2.  Significant accounting policies

2.1  Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of dorma + kaba 
Group comply with Swiss law and have been prepared 
 using the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in 
the accounting policies below, and in accordance with  
the entire existing guidelines of Swiss GAAP FER (Generally 
Accepted Accounting Principles FER / FER = Fachempfeh-
lung zur Rechnungslegung). Furthermore, the accounting 
complies with the provisions of the listing rules of the  
SIX and the Swiss company law. The financial statements 
are presented in Swiss francs (CHF). The accounting 
 policies have been applied consistently by Group compa-
nies. A summary of the significant accounting policies  
is provided below.

2.2  Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of dorma + kaba 
Group include the operations of dorma + kaba Holding AG 
and all direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Group controls 
an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and 
has the ability to affect those returns through its power 
over the entity. The consolidated accounts are based on 
the annual financial statements of the individual subsid-
iaries. All companies follow uniform measurement and 
 reporting practices prescribed by the Group. Applying  
the full consolidation method, the assets, liabilities, income, 
and expenses of all subsidiaries are included in their entirety. 
Minority interests in equity and profit are disclosed sep-
arately. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on 
which control is acquired. The identifiable assets and liabil-
ities are revalued and included according to the acquisition 
method. Any difference between the cost of acquisition and 
the fair value of the Group’s share of net assets acquired 
constitutes goodwill. Subsidiaries sold are excluded from 
consolidation from the date on which control ceases. All 
 intercompany balances, transactions and intercompany 
profits are eliminated on consolidation. Investments in 
 associates and joint ventures where dorma + kaba Group 
exercises significant influence, but does not have control, 
normally with an interest between 20 % and 50 %, are 
 accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under 
the equity method, investments in associated companies 
and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost, and the 
carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize 
dorma + kaba Group’s share of the profit or loss of the in-
vestee after the date of acquisition. Profit or loss are 
 attributed to the owners of the parent and to the minority 
interests. Profit and loss are attributed to the owners of 
the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this 
results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit 
 balance. Investments in which dorma + kaba does not have 
significant influence (usually in which dorma + kaba Group’s 
interest is less than 20 %) are recorded at cost. 

The Group treats transactions with minority interests 
that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with 
equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest 
results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts  
of the controlling and minority interests to reflect their rel-
ative interests in the subsidiary.

2.3  Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
Swiss GAAP FER requires the use of estimates and assump-
tions which have an effect on the reported value of assets 
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 
at the date of the financial statements, and on the reported 
value of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Although these estimates are based on the Management’s 
best knowledge of current events and actions dorma + kaba 
Group may undertake in the future, actual results may ulti-
mately differ from those estimates. Such estimates are 
applied to the following balance sheet positions, among 
others:
•  Deferred tax assets are created for temporary differ-

ences provided that their utilization appears probable. 
The recoverable amount is therefore based on past per-
formance and forecasts of the corresponding taxable 
entity over a period of several years. Deviations between 
actual and projected results can cause impairment loss-
es. For information on carrying amounts see note 23.

•  dorma + kaba operates pension plans in various countries. 
The calculation of pension provisions without own assets 
is based on actuarial assumptions that may differ from 
actual results. For information on carrying amounts see 
note 21.

•  When testing assets for impairment, the recoverable 
amount is determined on the basis of expected future 
cash flows. The main assumptions on which these cash 
flows are based include growth rates and expected 
 useful life. The cash flows actually generated can differ 
considerably from the estimates. 

•  In the course of their ordinary operating activities, cor-
porate subsidiaries can face claims from third parties. 
Provisions for pending claims are measured on the basis 
of the information available and a realistic estimate  
of the expected outflow of resources. The outcome of 
these proceedings may result in claims against the 
 corporation that cannot be met at all or in full through 
provisions or insurance cover. For information on carry-
ing amounts see note 20.

•  A restructuring is a program that is planned and con-
trolled by the Management and materially changes the 
manner in which that business is conducted. Restructur-
ing provisions are created when detailed formal plans  
are established and decided. Significant judgment is 
 required to determine the costs of restructuring plans.

2.4  Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Swiss francs (CHF), which is dorma + kaba Group’s presen-
tation currency. Items included in the financial statements 
of each dorma + kaba Group company are measured using 
the currency of the primary economic environment in 
which that company operates (the functional currency). 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions 
and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange 
rates are recognized in the income statement.

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries reporting in currencies 

other than CHF are translated at the rates of exchange 
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income, expenses, cash 
flows, and other movement items are translated at aver-
age exchange rates for the period. All resulting exchange 
differences are recognized in equity. On consolidation, 
 exchange differences arising from the translation of the 
net investment in foreign companies and from borrowings 
and other currency instruments designated as hedges of 
such investments are taken to equity. When a foreign 
 operation is sold, exchange differences that were recorded 
in equity are recycled to the income statement as part of 
the gain or loss on sale.

Annual Report 2015/2016

dorma+kaba

2.6  Financial assets
Long-term held securities are recorded at fair value. All 
 realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in 
the income statements.

Other non-current financial assets are stated at amor-

tized cost less valuation adjustments.

2.7  Trade receivables
Short-term accounts receivable are stated at nominal 
 value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The amount  
of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s 
 carrying amount and the present value of estimated future 
cash flows. It is assessed based on maturity structure  
and identifiable solvency risks. 

2.8  Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase / manufac-
turing cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined 
 using the weighted average method. Manufacturing cost 
includes direct labor and material as well as a commen-
surate share of related overhead cost. Allowances are made 
for obsolete and slow-moving items.

2.10  Intangible assets
Intangible assets embodying future economic benefits, 
such as acquired licenses, patents and similar rights as well 
as qualifying development costs are capitalized at cost 
and amortized using the straight-line method over a period 
of 2 – 5 years. Goodwill represents the excess of the con-
sideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date book value 
of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair 
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets 
acquired. The positive or negative goodwill resulting from 
acquisitions is offset in equity at the date of acquisition 
against retained earnings.

If the purchase price contains elements that are depen-

dent on future results, they are estimated as closely as 
possible at the date of acquisition and recognized in the 
balance sheet. In the event of disparities when the defini- 
tive purchase price is settled, the goodwill offset in equity 
is adjusted accordingly. The consequences of a theoretical 
capitalization and amortization of goodwill are explained in 
note 15.

On the disposal of an entity, the goodwill previously offset 

Cash discounts from suppliers are treated as purchase 

in equity is transferred to the income statement.

cost reductions.

2.9  Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less 
accumulated depreciation. Subsequent costs are included 
in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate 
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future 
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to  
the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 
The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. 
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income 
statement during the financial period in which they are 
 incurred.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method 

based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings

Machinery, equipment, installations and tools

Other tangible fixed assets

20 – 50 years

4 – 15 years

3 – 15 years

Land is not depreciated. Where an asset comprises various 
components having different useful lives, each component 
is depreciated separately.

Items of minor value are charged directly to the income 

statement.

All gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and 

equipment are recognized in the income statement.

All research costs are recognized in the income state-
ment as incurred. Development costs are recognized as an 
asset when specific recognition criteria are met and the 
amount recognized is assessed to be recoverable through 
future economic benefits.

2.11  Impairment of assets 
Property, plant and equipment, goodwill offset against 
 equity, intangible assets and other non-current assets are 
tested for impairment whenever events or changes in cir-
cumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. 

For the purpose of testing impairment, goodwill, and other 

assets are grouped in cash-generating units for which  
cash flows are separately identifiable. The Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of those cash-generating units, 
which generally represent their value in use. Value in use is 
assessed using the discounted cash flow method. The 
 estimates used in these calculations are based on updated 
budgets and medium-term plans covering a period of 
three years. Cash flows beyond the projection period are 
extrapolated in perpetuity. 

When the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount, an impairment loss is recognized separately in  
the income statement. The recoverable amount is the 
higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use.
As goodwill is fully offset against equity at the date of 

acquisition, an impairment of goodwill will not affect 
 income, but only be disclosed in the notes to the consoli-
dated financial statements.

2.12  Leases
Assets acquired under leasing agreements which effectively 
transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental 
to ownership from the lessor to the lessee are classified as 
finance leases. Assets held under finance leases are re-
corded at the lower of the estimated net present value of 
the future minimum lease payments and their fair value  
at the inception of the lease. The estimated net present 
value of the future minimum lease payments is recorded 
correspondingly as a finance lease obligation. Assets under 
finance leases are amortized over their estimated useful 
lives. Operating lease payments are charged to income on 
a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.13  Net sales and revenue recognition 
Net sales include all sales of goods and related services, 
after deduction of any sales reductions including rebates, 
discounts, value-added taxes and commissions.

Sales from supplied goods and services are recognized 

upon performance. Sales of goods are recognized when 
dorma + kaba Group has delivered the products to the 
 customer, the customer has accepted the products, and  
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to  
the entity.

Sales from long-term construction contracts are recog-

nized using the percentage-of-completion method. The 
stage of completion is measured by reference to the propor-
tion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date 
relative to the estimated total costs for the contract.

2.14  Retirement benefits
There are various pension plans in existence within the 
Group which are individually aligned with local conditions  
in their respective countries. They are financed either by 
means of contributions to legally independent pension /  
insurance funds, or by recognition as liabilities in the 
 balance sheet of the respective Group companies. An 
 economical obligation or a benefit from Swiss pension 
schemes is determined from the statements made on the 
basis of Swiss GAAP FER 26 “Accounting of Pension  
Plans” and recognized in the balance sheet accordingly.

The provision for pension plans of foreign subsidiaries 

which are not organized as independent legal entity is 
 determined based on the local valuation methods in effect.

2.15  Provisions
Provisions are recognized
•  when the Group has a present obligation (legal or 

 constructive) as a result of a past event;

•  when it is probable that a use of resources will be 

 required to settle the obligation; and

•  when the amount of the obligation can be reliably 

 estimated. 

Costs relating to restructuring plans or agreements, 
 including the reduction of excess staffing, the discontinua-
tion of certain activities or the streamlining of facilities  
and operations and other restructuring measures, are 
 recorded in the period in which the Group commits itself  
to a plan.

2.16  Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially 
recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred 
and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any differ-
ence between the proceeds of disposal (net of transaction 
costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income 
statement over the period of the borrowings using the 
 effective interest method. 

2.17  Income taxes
Current income taxes are based on taxable income for the 
current year and charged to income when incurred. Deferred 
income taxes are determined using the liability method, 
with the applicable substantially enacted income tax rates 
applied on a comprehensive basis to eligible temporary 
 differences. Deferred income tax assets from temporary 
differences are only recognized to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against 
which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred 
income taxes resulting from tax loss carryforwards appli-
cable to future taxable income are only recognized if they 
reduce deferred tax liabilities.

2.18  Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net 
profit attributable to owners of the parent by the weight-
ed average number of shares outstanding during the 
 reporting period. Diluted earnings per share also include all 
potentially dilutive effects.

2.19  Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes of 
balance sheet items are valued at the same valuation prin-
ciples as the underlying hedged positions. 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments for cash 

flow hedging purposes is disclosed in the notes.

dorma+kaba

Interest rate risk
The dorma + kaba Group’s interest rate risks arise from its 
borrowings at variable rates. This interest rate risk is only 
hedged in limited cases. The Management strives for a well- 
balanced mix of long- and short-term interest rates con-
sidering the planned financing requirements. Financing and 
related interest are managed centrally. Cash and cash 
equivalents are invested on a short-term basis.

Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the dorma + kaba Group 
will be unable to meet its obligations when they fall due. 
The Group Treasury function ensures that optimal liquidity 
and credit lines are available to the Group’s operations  
at any time to meet its obligations and to finance its proj-
ects. Procurement of bank loans is managed centrally.

Credit risk
Credit risks arise from the possibility that the counterparty 
to a transaction is unable or unwilling to fulfill its obliga-
tions and that the dorma + kaba Group suffers financial 
damage as a result.

Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis 
 locally and via Group management reporting procedures. 
The danger of cluster risks on trade accounts receivable  
is limited due to the large number and wide geographical 
spread of customers. The extent of the credit risk is de-
termined mainly by the individual characteristics of each 
customer. Assessment of this risk involves a review of the 
customer’s creditworthiness based on its financial situation 
and past experience.

Cash and cash equivalents are mainly held in the form  

of current accounts and current fixed-term deposits. 
Counterparty risks are monitored continuously and mini-
mized by strictly limiting the associations to high-ranking 
banks.

2.20  Risk assessment and risk management
The tasks of the Board of Directors include identifying 
risks, determining suitable measures and implementing 
these measures or having them implemented. The Board 
of Directors of dorma + kaba Holding AG conducted a 
Group-wide risk assessment in the year under review and 
also determined the risks to be managed at particular 
management levels. The Board of Directors is closely in-
volved in assessing strategic risks and through dialogue 
with the Executive Committee ensures that operating risks 
are given due attention and reported accordingly. This 
 approach gives the Board a comprehensive overview of the 
key risks and measures. With this overview, the Group is 
able to prioritize and allocate the necessary resources.

Financial risk policy
The dorma + kaba Group is exposed to various risks in con-
nection with financial instruments, in particular to market 
risks of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest 
rates. The Management monitors these risks on a regular 
basis. In managing the exposure resulting from such fluc-
tuations, the dorma + kaba Group uses derivative financial 
instruments wherever Management deems it appropriate 
to do so given the prevailing circumstances. The counter-
parties involved are high-ranking financial institutions. The 
dorma + kaba Group does not enter into financial transac-
tions if the associated risk cannot be estimated, for example 
no uncovered short transactions are executed. Hedging 
transactions always relate to existing assets and liabilities 
or to highly probable future business transactions.

In addition, the dorma + kaba Group is exposed to liquidity 
risk and credit risk. Risk management also involves securing 
comprehensive and efficient insurance protection.

Foreign exchange risk
The dorma + kaba Group is active all over the world and is 
therefore exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange 
rates. Foreign exchange risks arise when future commercial 
transactions, recognized financial assets and liabilities,  
and net investments in foreign operations are denominated 
in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

In most companies of the dorma + kaba Group expendi-

tures and earnings occur mainly in the local currencies  
of these companies and changes in foreign exchange rates 
affect only the net payment flow. Future cash flows in 
 foreign currencies are hedged in limited cases only.

Foreign exchange risks on intercompany loans are cov-

ered to a large extent by forward exchange contracts.

The dorma + kaba Group does not actively manage the 

translation risk arising from net investment in foreign 
 currencies and from net income generated by foreign oper-
ations.

2.21  Segment reporting
In accordance with the Management organization and  
the reporting to the top management level, the reporting 
segments consist of the businesses as described in note 1. 
This reporting forms the basis for assessing performance 
and allocating resources.

Segment accounting is prepared up to the level of  
EBITDA / EBIT because this is the key figure used for man-
agement purposes. All operating assets and liabilities  
that are directly attributable or can be allocated on a rea-
sonable basis are reported in the respective segments. 
With the exception of central costs, which are not allocated 
to the individual segments for internal reporting purposes, 
the segment results are based on the same accounting prin-
ciples that are used to determine the operating profit of 
the Group.

Intersegment transactions are based on the arm’s 

length principle.

2.22  Share-based payments
Stock award plans
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange 
for shares is measured at fair value of the shares at the 
grant date and recognized as an expense with a correspond-
ing entry in equity. Expenses for shares that vest imme-
diately are recognized accordingly. Shares that are subject 
to future services are recognized over the vesting period.

2.23  Extraordinary result
The extraordinary result includes only cost related to the 
business combination between Dorma and Kaba, namely 
restructuring cost, impairment losses, and the cost of 
combining the brands into the dormakaba master brand. 
Restructuring cost are those necessarily entailed by the 
 restructuring, and not associated with the ongoing activi-
ties of the entity, such as severance cost, early termination 
cost, and restructuring-related advisory cost. Business com-
bination-related projects have been approved by the Board.

4.  Business combinations

Prior-year acquisitions

Business combination with Dorma
On 1 September 2015, Dorma and Kaba completed the 
business combination announced in April 2015.

The following table summarizes the transaction. The 
identifiable assets and liabilities reflect the fair value at 
the date of the business combination.

The value of the Kaba businesses was calculated based 

on the average price of the Kaba share at the SIX Swiss 
Stock Exchange during the last five trading days before 
closing of the transaction.

Dorsët Kaba (India) 
On 31 July 2014, Kaba increased its 49 % stake (held since 
2007) in a joint venture with Dorsët Group to 74 % by 
 acquiring another 25 % of the shares. As part of the trans-
action, Dorsët Kaba took over from Dorsët Group the busi-
nesses of Mars Industries Pvt Ltd., Dorsët India Pvt Ltd., 
and Modtech Industries. This gave Kaba three production 
sites and four regional offices in India serving a broad 
 distribution network. This direct access to the Indian market 
will boost sales in this promising growing market. Dorsët 
Kaba employs around 1,000 people and achieves annual 
sales of CHF 22 million.

for Dorsët and the amounts of the assets acquired and lia-
bilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

Difference between expected and effective income taxes

Income taxes charged to equity

The weighted applicable tax rate is calculated using the 
 expected income tax rates of the individual Group companies 
in each jurisdiction. These rates vary significantly. The 
change in the weighted applicable tax rate from prior year 
is mainly due to the different contributions of individual 
Group companies to the total Group profit.

The main difference between applicable and effective 
taxes in the period lies in the fact that dorma + kaba does 
not recognize deferred tax assets on tax loss carryfor-
wards  regardless of the likelihood that such tax loss carry 
forwards can be utilized in the future. The major part  
of these tax losses occurred as a result of post-merger 
 integration projects.

Warranty and customer return provisions
In certain markets there are lock models installed for which 
dorma + kaba developed upgrades. dorma + kaba committed 
to offer the upgrades at no cost to its customers and as  
a result a provision amounting to CHF 15.1 million was rec-
ognized as per 30 June 2011. Due to customers making  
use of dorma + kaba’s offer, the provision has been reduced to 
CHF 1.7 million as per 30 June 2016, representing expected 
cash outflows in 2016 / 2017 related to this initiative.

Restructuring provisions
Restructuring provisions include expected future cash out-
flows related to restructuring plans that the Group has 
started to implement or announced. Restructuring plans 
mainly focus on optimizing administrative and manufac-
turing processes.

The major part of these restructuring provisions is due to 

post-merger integration projects following the merger 
 between Kaba and Dorma as per 1 September 2015 which 
have been approved by the Board. These provisions mainly 
include severance cost, early termination cost, and restruc-
turing related advisory cost (as per accounting policy 2.23). 

Other provisions
Other provisions include mainly environmental risks, litiga-
tion and sales agents’ indemnities.

24.  Capital management
Management of capital is governed by the following objec-
tives:
•  securing sufficient liquidity to meet the Group’s needs  

to fulfil its financial obligations;

•  securing sufficient financing capacity for future invest-

ments and acquisitions;
•  ensuring creditworthiness;
•  achieving a risk-adequate return for investors.
Continuous monitoring and reporting of key figures to  
the Management ensure that appropriate action is taken 
as soon as required.

A syndicated credit facility of CHF 500 million was secured 

in March 2016 for a five-year period. The facility has options 
for 2 years’ prolongation and CHF 200 million increase. The 
only financial covenant is the net debt ratio (calculated as 
the ratio of net debt to EBITDA).

As of 30 June 2016 dorma + kaba complied with all finan-

cial covenants.

The corresponding key figures as at 30 June 2016 and 

30 June 2015 respectively are shown below:

in CHF million, except where indicated

Gearing

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

Net debt

Net debt / EBITDA (Gearing)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (in CHF)

Diluted earnings per share (in CHF)

A portion of profits generated is paid out to the owners  
as dividends, taking into account the current financing needs 
and compliance with legal requirements.

dorma + kaba envisages a dividend policy whereby the

29. Stock award plans
The Executive Stock Award Plan “ESAP 1” was introduced 
in 2007. Under the plan, participants were nominated each 
year by the Compensation Committee for an allocation  
of shares free of charge. Participants could chose to receive 
the shares unrestricted or subject to a five-year blocking 
period (“Blocking Period”). The award value corresponds to 
the closing price of the dorma + kaba Holding AG share  
at the SIX Swiss Exchange on the business day before the 
date of allocation.

In 2012, a new Executive Stock Award Plan “ESAP Plus” 

was introduced. Under the plan, participants were nomi-
nated each year by the Compensation Committee for an 
allocation of shares free of charge. (“Award Share[s]”)  
that are automatically subject to a three-year blocking 
 period (“Blocking Period”). Provided that at the expiry of 
the Blocking Period (i) the participant is still under a con-
tract of employment with a dorma + kaba Group company 
and (ii) no notice of termination has been given by either 
the employer or employee, the participant shall receive 
free of charge additional shares (“Matching Shares”) in the 
proportion of one additional share for every two Award 
Shares. The value of the Award Share corresponds to the 
closing price of the dorma + kaba Holding AG share at the 
SIX Swiss Exchange on the business day before the date of 
the allocation. 

In 2013, the Executive Stock Award Plan “ESAP Plus 3” 

was introduced for new participants. ESAP Plus 3 has  
the same design as ESAP Plus except that under ESAP Plus, 
existing ESAP 1 participants were entitled to choose 
 between an allocation under ESAP 1 or under ESAP Plus. 
Under ESAP Plus 3, this choice is no longer available. 

ESAP 1 and ESAP Plus were discontinued from 2014 / 2015 

financial year onwards.

In 2015, the Executive Stock Award Plan “ESAP 5” was 
introduced. Under ESAP 5, participants, nominated each 
year by the Compensation Committee, are granted Award 
Shares and Performance Share Units that are subject to  
a three-year vesting period (“Vesting Period”) conditional 
upon (i) the continuous employment of the participant 
with a dorma + kaba Group company at the end of the Vest-
ing Period and (ii) the fulfilment of the Earnings per Share 
(“EPS”) performance condition during the Vesting Period, 
as determined in the ESAP 5 plan rules. 

At the vesting date, Performance Share Units are con-
verted into shares (“Matching Shares”) based on a payout 
percentage of between 0 % and 200 % (0 to 2 Matching 
Shares for each Performance Share Unit based on the 
achieved EPS performance).

On 22 September 2014, a total of 3,285 shares were 
 allocated under ESAP Plus 3 (out of treasury shares) with 
an award value of CHF 440.50 each.

On 21 September 2015, a total of 4,088 Award Shares 
were allocated under ESAP 5 (out of treasury shares) with 
an award value of CHF 653.00 each.

On 21 November 2015, a total of 840 Matching Shares 
were allocated under ESAP Plus with an award value of 
CHF 664.00 each.

The impact on dorma + kaba’s 2015 / 2016 income state-

ment amounts to CHF 2,669,464 for the Award Shares  
and CHF 557,760 for the Matching Shares (2014 / 2015 
CHF 1,447,043 for Award Shares, no Matching Shares). 
CHF 6,938.40 (divided into 69,384 registered shares with 
a par value of CHF 0.10) of conditional capital is reserved 
for stock award plans.

of dorma + kaba Holding AG, Rümlang

In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO 

and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an

the preparation of consolidated financial statements 
 according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
We recommend that the consolidated financial state-
ments submitted to you be approved.

Report of the statutory auditor on the  
consolidated financial statements
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements of dorma + kaba  
Holding AG, which comprise the consolidated income state-
ment, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated 
cash flow statement, the consolidated statement of changes 
in equity and notes (pages 7 to 43), for the year ended 
30 June 2016. 

Board of Directors’ responsibility
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation 
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial state-
ments in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and the require-
ments of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, 
implementing and maintaining an internal control system 
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of con-
solidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board  
of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying 
appropriate accounting policies and making accounting 
 estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these con-
solidated financial statements based on our audit. We con-
ducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss 
Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
whether the consolidated financial statements are free 
from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit 

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the con-
solidated financial statements. The procedures selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assess-
ment of the risks of material misstatement of the conso-
lidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
 error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor con-
siders the internal control system relevant to the entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 
 financial statements in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for  
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness 
of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also in-
cludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting poli-
cies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements. We believe that the 
 audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appro-
priate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to the financial statements

1.  Principles

1.1 General
The new Swiss accounting law is being applied for the first 
time with these annual financial statements. The structure 
of the previous year’s numbers has been adjusted to ensure 
comparability. 

These annual financial statements were prepared in 

 accordance with the provisions of the Swiss accounting law 
(Title 32 of the Swiss Code of Obligations). The main valu­
ation principles applied that are not prescribed by law are 
described below. 

In accordance with the provisions of the Swiss accounting 
law (article 961d para. 1 CO), the company has decided not 
to provide additional information, a cash flow statement or 
an annual report, because dorma + kaba Holding AG, Rümlang 
(Switzerland), reports its consolidated financial statements 
based on a recognized standard (Swiss GAAP FER). 

1.2 Loans to Group companies and other financial assets 
Loans granted to Group companies and other financial 
 investments in foreign currencies are valued at the market 
rate on the actual closing date. The valuation is at nominal 
values, taking into consideration any impairment required.

1.3 Investments 
Investments are valued in line with the principle of individual 
valuation. General value adjustments can be applied.

1.4 Dividend income 
Dividend income is booked when payment is received.

Report of the statutory auditor  
on the financial statements 
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying 
financial statements of dorma + kaba Holding AG, which 
comprise the balance sheet, income statement, and notes 
(pages 47 to 53), for the year ended 30 June 2016. 

Board of Directors’ responsibility
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation 
of the financial statements in accordance with the require­
ments of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorpo­
ration. This responsibility includes designing, implementing 
and maintaining an internal control system relevant to  
the preparation of financial statements that are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  
The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting 
and applying appropriate accounting policies and making 
accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circum­
stances.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit  
in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
 audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit 

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the finan­ 
cial statements. The procedures selected depend on the 
auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks  
of material misstatement of the financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assess­
ments, the auditor considers the internal control system 
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial state­
ments in order to design audit procedures that are appro­
priate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
 expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s 
internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating 
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial state­
ments. We believe that the audit evidence we have ob­
tained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements for the year  
ended 30 June 2016 comply with Swiss law and the com­
pany’s articles of incorporation.

Capital structure

Capital
dorma + kaba Holding AG’s share capital as at 30 June 2016 
is CHF 419,502.60, divided into 4,195,026 fully paid-up regis-
tered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each. As at 
30 June 2016, dorma + kaba Holding AG has authorized cap-
ital of CHF 41,900, divided into 419,000 registered shares 
with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each, and conditional cap-
ital of maximum CHF 42,938.40 for issuing bonds or similar 
instruments (up to a maximum of CHF 36,000, divided into 
360,000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 
each) and for employee participation programs (maximum 
CHF 6,938.40, divided into 69,384 registered shares with a 
nominal value of CHF 0.10 each).

Conditional capital 
The share capital of dorma + kaba Holding AG may be in-
creased by an amount not exceeding CHF 36,000 by issuing 
up to 360,000 registered shares, to be fully paid up, with  
a par value of CHF 0.10 each, through the exercise of con-
version and/or option rights that have been granted in 
 connection with the issue of bonds or similar instruments  
by dorma + kaba Holding AG or a Group company, and/or 
through the exercise of option rights that have been confer-
red on shareholders. If bonds or similar instruments are  
issued in connection with conversion and/or option rights, 
the subscription rights of existing shareholders are ex-
cluded. The right to subscribe to the new registered shares 
falls to the respective holders of conversion and/or option 
rights. The purchase of registered shares by exercise of 
 conversion and/or option rights, as well as every subsequent 
transfer of registered shares, is subject to the transfer and 
voting rights restrictions set out in the Articles of Incorpor a-
tion.
The Board of Directors is entitled to limit or abolish the
pre-emptive subscription right of shareholders in connec-
tion with the issue of bonds or similar instruments with 
 conversion and/or option rights if such instruments are issued 
for the purpose of financing the acquisition of comp anies, 
parts of companies or equity interests.

The share capital of dorma + kaba Holding AG may be 
 increased by no more than CHF 6,938.40 by issuing to employ-
ees and members of the Board of Directors of dorma + kaba 
Holding AG and of Group companies no more than 69,384 
registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.10 each, which 
must be fully paid up. The subscription rights of existing 
shareholders to such new shares are excluded. Registered 
shares or option rights in this respect will be issued to 
 employees or members of the Board of Directors subject to 
one or more sets of regulations to be defined by the Board 
of Directors and taking into account performance, function 
and level of responsibility. The group of beneficiaries and 
the principles of allocation are disclosed in the Compensa-
tion Report (see page 72 et seq.). Said registered shares or 
option rights may be issued to employees or members of 
the Board of Directors at a price below the market price.  
In connection with the issue of option rights to employees 
and members of the Board of Directors, the pre-emptive 
subscription rights of existing shareholders are excluded. 
The purchase of shares within the context of employee 
share ownership schemes, as well as any subsequent trans-
fers of such shares, are subject to the transfer and voting 
rights restrictions set out in the Articles of Incorporation.

Authorized capital
The Annual General Meeting of 20 October 2015 created 
authorized capital and authorized the Board of Directors of 
dorma + kaba Holding AG to increase the share capital of 
the company by no more than CHF 41,900 through the issue 
of a maximum of 419,000 fully paid-up registered shares 
with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each by 20 October 2017 
at the latest. An increase in installments is allowed. Sub-
scription to and acquisition of new shares and each subse-
quent transfer shall be subject to the transfer and voting 
right restrictions set out in the Articles of Incorporation.  
The Board of Directors determines the date of issue of new 
shares, the issue price, type of payment, conditions of 
 exercising subscription rights and the start date for dividend 
entitlement. The Board of Directors can issue new shares  
by having a bank or third-party underwrite them all and then 
making an offer to existing shareholders. The Board of 
 Directors is authorized to set the issue price of new shares  
as close as possible to the market value of the shares. The 
Board of Directors is authorized in this case to restrict or 
exclude trading with subscription rights. The Board of Direc-
tors can let unexercised subscription rights lapse or can take 
these rights, or the shares for which these rights are granted 
but not exercised, and place them at market conditions or 
use them in some other way in the interests of  dorma + kaba 
Holding AG. The Board of Directors is also authorized to 
 restrict or remove and allocate to third parties shareholders’ 
subscription rights if the shares are being used in connec-
tion with the acquisition of companies, parts of companies 
or participations, or if shares are being placed to finance  
or refinance such transactions. 

Changes in capital in the last four financial years 
As a result of an increase from authorized capital, which 
was renewed by the Annual General Meeting of 28 October 
2014, the share capital of dorma + kaba Holding AG increased 
as at 28 May 2015 by CHF 38,000 from CHF 381,502.60  
to CHF 419,502.60; the authorized capital (divided into 
380,000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 
each) was cancelled accordingly. This capital increase was 
carried out in connection with the planned merger between 
Kaba Group and Dorma Group and was not dependent on 
completion of the merger. The 380,000 shares issued from 
authorized capital were subscribed by Familie Mankel Indus-
triebeteiligungs GmbH + Co. KGaA. There was no change  
in the capital in either the 2013/2014 or the 2015/2016 
 financial years. 

Shares and non-voting shares (Partizipationsscheine)

Meeting of dorma + kaba Holding AG. Voting rights can  
only be exercised if the shareholder is registered with voting 
rights in dorma + kaba Holding AG’s share register. The shares 
of dorma + kaba Holding AG are not physical but are issued 
purely as security rights. They are registered as book-entry 
securities. Shares carry full dividend rights. There are no 
outstanding shares with privileged dividend rights or other 
preferential rights. dorma + kaba Holding AG has not issued 
any non-voting shares (Partizipationsscheine).

Limitations on transferability and nominee registrations 
Transfers of shares of dorma + kaba Holding AG require  
the approval of the company’s Board of Directors. Approval 
may be refused if the acquirer of the shares does not 
 expressly declare that these were acquired in its own name 
and for its own account. The Board of Directors will register 
individual persons who do not expressly declare that they 
hold the shares for their own account (“nominees”) in the 
share register with the right to vote provided the nominee 
has entered into an agreement with the Board of Directors 
with respect to its position and if the nominee is subject  
to recognized banking or financial market supervision. 
 Otherwise, such shares held by nominees can be registered 
in the share register without voting rights.

In the year under review the Board of Directors granted no 

exemptions from the transfer restrictions.

Cancelling or changing the limitations on the transferability 

of shares requires a resolution by the General Meeting 
 supported by at least two-thirds of the votes represented. 
Book-entry securities based on dorma + kaba Holding AG 
shares cannot be transferred by assignment. Neither can 
collateral be placed by assignment on these book-entry 
 securities. The transfer of such book-entry securities follows 
the stipulations of the Federal Intermediated Securities Act. 

Convertible bonds and options
Neither dorma + kaba Holding AG nor any of its Group com-
panies have issued any convertible bonds or warrants that 
are still outstanding, or any options. This does not include 
the allocation of shares to employees under the stock 
award plans, details of which are given in the Compensa-
tion Report on page 78.

Board of Directors

dorma + kaba Holding AG are defined by the Swiss Code

zational Regulations.

Elections and terms of office 
The Board of Directors of dorma + kaba Holding AG is elected 
by the Annual General Meeting, with each member standing 
for election individually. The Articles of Incorporation state 
that the Board of Directors shall have between five and  
ten members. Prospective members shall be elected for a 
one-year term of office up to the conclusion of the next 
 Annual General Meeting. Members of the Board of Directors 
can be re-elected. When they reach 70 years of age, mem-
bers of the Board of Directors normally resign at the next 
General Meeting. The Board of Directors has decided not to 
apply the age limit it voluntarily included in the Organiza-
tional Regulations to the Board of Directors member Ulrich 
Graf because it wants to continue to use his experience  
(especially his significant integration knowledge with regard 
to the Unican takeover) and support during the implemen-
tation and integration work associated with the merger of 
Kaba Group with Dorma Group. The Board of Directors is 
proposing to the Annual General Meeting on 18 October 2016 
that all serving members of the Board of Directors be re- 
elected and that Ulrich Graf be re-elected as Chairman of 
the Board.

Internal organization
According to the Swiss Code of Obligations and dorma + kaba 
Holding AG’s Articles of Incorporation and Organizational 
Regulations, the main responsibilities of the Board of Direc-
tors are:
•  The strategic direction and management of dorma + kaba 

Group;

•  Structuring the accounting system, the financial controls 

and the financial planning;

•  Appointing and dismissing members of the Executive 

Committee and other key managers;
•  Overall supervision of business activities;
•  Preparation of the annual report, preparation of the 

 General Meeting and implementation of its resolutions;
•  Approving the signing authority of dorma + kaba Holding 

AG employees;

•  Approving the purchase and sale of companies, business 
areas or other assets worth more than CHF 5 million;
•  Approving investments, purchases and disposals of real 

estate worth more than CHF 5 million.

The relevant decisions are taken by the whole Board of 
 Directors. The CEO and CFO regularly participate in meet-
ings of the Board of Directors in an advisory capacity. Other 
members of the Executive Committee are brought in to 
 advise on individual items of the agenda. The Board of Direc-
tors held eight meetings during the 2015/2016 financial 
year; these usually lasted for a whole working day. In addi-
tion, the Board’s committees met 13 times. The agendas for 
Board meetings are defined by the Chairman at the CEO’s 
request. Each member of the Board of Directors may pro-
pose agenda items. Members of the Board of Directors 
 always receive documentation prior to Board meetings so 
they can prepare for discussion of each item on the agenda. 
The Board of Directors holds discussions with the company’s 
managers and visits one or more dorma + kaba Group loca-
tions, usually on an annual basis.

Committees
The Board of Directors has formed an Audit Committee,  
a Compensation Committee and a Nomination Committee. 
Members of the Compensation Committee are elected at 
each Annual General Meeting. Each committee has written 
terms of reference that define its tasks and responsibilities. 
The chairs of these committees are chosen by the Board of 
Directors. The committees meet regularly and are obliged 
to produce minutes as well as recommendations to the reg-
ular Board meetings. Committee meeting agendas are 
 defined by the committee chair. Members of the commit-
tees receive documentation prior to the meetings so they 
can prepare for discussion of agenda items.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is composed of three non-executive 
members of the Board of Directors, who have professional 
or other experience of financing and accounting:

Daniel Daeniker (Chair)

Hans Gummert 

Hans Hess

The Board of Directors has specified that members of the 
Audit Committee must meet certain requirements with 
 regard to independence and skills and that they must not be 
members of the Executive Committee. The term of office  
is one year or until the conclusion of the next Annual General 
Meeting; members may be re-elected. The Audit Committee 
meets at least twice a year, but will be convened by the chair 
as often as business requires. During the 2015/2016 finan-
cial year the Audit Committee met four times, with each 
meeting lasting at least two hours. The CFO usually takes 
part in the meetings in an advisory capacity, as do, where 
necessary, the CEO, representatives of the audit firm, repre-
sentatives of Internal Audit and of the Accounting Depart-
ment, and the Head of the Legal Department. In the 
2015/2016 financial year, representatives of the audit firm 
participated in two meetings, the Head of the Legal Depart-
ment, representatives of Internal Audit and Accounting in 
four and external consultants in three. The Audit Committee 
minutes the deliberations and decisions taken during meet-
ings. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee 
are to evaluate risk management and accounting processes, 
monitor financial reporting and internal auditing, and assess 
external audits. With regard to external audits, the Audit 
Committee has the following responsibilities:
•  Approval of the audit priorities;
•  Acceptance of the audit report and of any recommenda-
tions made by the auditors prior to the submission of  
the annual accounts (individual and consolidated financial 
statements) to the whole Board of Directors for approval;
•  Proposing to the whole Board of Directors which external 
auditor should be recommended to the General Meeting;

•  Assessing the external auditor’s performance, pay and 
 independence, and checking that audit activities do not 
clash with any consultancy mandates.

64 Corporate Governance

The Audit Committee’s tasks relating to internal audits 
 include:
•  Approving the rules on internal audit’s organization and 

responsibilities;

•  Approving audit plans;
•  Checking the results of the audit and implementing the 
recommendations of the internal or external auditor;
•  Transferring (if necessary) internal auditing activities to 
third parties or to the external auditor in an expansion  
of its audit activities;

•  Monitoring the existing Internal Control System (ICS). 

 Internal audits, among other things: the ICS, compliance 
with Management Information System (MIS) guidelines, 
compliance with guidelines on limiting legal risk, and the 
reporting/minimization of insurable risks. In individual 
cases, external specialist auditors may be brought in to 
help;

•  Auditing the compliance report;
•  Monitoring outstanding legal proceedings;
•  Evaluating and monitoring business and financial risks.
The risk management system periodically records legal, 
 operational and business risks. Legal risks include current  
or potential legal disputes; operational risks include sce-
narios such as operational failures and natural disasters; 
whereas business risks include for instance payment defaults 
or general negative market developments. Risks are quan-
tified and weighted with regard to their likelihood and their 
possible financial and/or business impact. Preventative 
measures that have been planned or already implemented 
are also subject to review. Risks are recorded if they have  
a potential financial impact of CHF 2.5 million or more. The 
Audit Committee regularly reports to the Board as a whole 
about its activities, and it notifies the Board immediately 
about important matters.

Nomination Committee 
The Nomination Committee consists of four members, the 
majority of Committee Members must be non-executive 
members of the Board of Directors:

Ulrich Graf (Chair)

Rolf Dörig 

Hans Gummert

Hans Hess

The term of office for each member is one year or until the 
conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting; members 
may be re-elected. The Nomination Committee meets at 
least once a year. During the 2015/2016 financial year the 
Nomination Committee met four times, with each meeting 
lasting at least two hours. The CEO also usually takes part 
in the meetings in an advisory capacity, the only member  
of the Executive Committee to do so. In addition, external 
consultants took part in one meeting during the 2015/2016 
financial year. The Nomination Committee sets out the 
principles for appointing and re-electing members of the 
Board of Directors and submits proposals to the Board 
about its composition. The Nomination Committee also 
 recommends the appointment and de-selection of members 
of the Executive Committee; the final decisions on appoint-
ments and de-selections are taken by the Board of Direc-
tors as a whole. The Nomination Committee minutes its 
 deliberations and decisions and regularly reports to the 
whole Board of Directors.

Compensation Committee
The organization and responsibilities of the Compensation 
Committee as well as the details of dorma + kaba Group’s 
compensation policy are set out on pages 72 et seq. of the 
Compensation Report.

Powers and responsibilities
Management organization
The Board of Directors has the highest responsibility for 
business strategy and supervises management of the 
 dorma + kaba Group. It has the highest decision-making 
 authority and sets the strategic, organizational, financial 
planning and accounting rules that dorma + kaba Group 
must follow. The Board of Directors has delegated manage-
ment of ongoing business to the Executive Committee 
 under the leadership of the CEO. Therefore, the CEO is re-
sponsible for overall management of the dorma + kaba 
Group. The powers and functions of the Executive Com-
mittee are set out in the Organizational Regulations of 
 dorma + kaba Holding AG. The CFO, the CIO (Chief Integra-
tion Officer), the COOs, the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) 
and the CMO (Chief Manufacturing Officer) report to the 
CEO, who is responsible for overall management and for 
cooperation across segments and functions. These roles 
have a seat on the Executive Committee.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
The CEO manages dorma + kaba Group. He is responsible 
for all the things that are not allocated to other company 
bodies by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by the 
 Organizational Regulations. After consulting with the Exec-
utive Committee, the CEO submits the strategy, the long- 
and medium-term objectives and the management guide-
lines for the dorma + kaba Group to the Board of Directors 
for approval. In response to a proposal by the CEO, the whole 
Board of Directors decides on the annual budget (conso-
lidated), individual projects, the consolidated financial 
statements and the financial statements of dorma + kaba 
Holding AG. The CEO submits recommendations to the 
Nomination Committee about personnel issues at the Exec-
utive Committee level. The CEO also makes proposals to 
the Compensation Committee regarding the remuneration 
of members of the Executive Committee (including allo-
cation of shares from the share allocation plans). The CEO 
regularly reports to the whole Board of Directors about 
business performance, anticipated important business is-
sues and risks, as well as about changes in management  
at the operating segment level. Members of the Board of 
Directors may request and examine further information. 
The CEO must inform the Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors immediately about any important unexpected deve l-
opments.

Members of the Executive Committee
The table above gives the name, age, position and date of 
joining of each Executive Committee member. The function 
of Chief of Staff was removed on completion of the merger 
between Dorma and Kaba, so Hans-Jürg Roth left the 
 Executive Committee on 1 September 2015. The maximum 
number of mandates that members of the Executive 
 Committee are allowed to take on the governing bodies  
of legal entities outside the dorma + kaba Group is regulated 
in paragraph 27 of the Articles of Incorporation. 

Information from and control over the Executive Committee
dorma + kaba Group’s Management Information System 
(MIS) works as follows: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and 
annual financial statements (balance sheet, income state-
ment and cash flow statement) are prepared of the Group’s 
individual reporting units. These figures are consolidated  
for each segment and for the Group as a whole. The financial 
figures are compared with the prior year and the budget. 
The achievability of the budget, which shows the first year 
of a three-year medium-term plan for each reporting unit, 
is assessed against the quarterly statements and in the 
form of a forecast. The CEO and CFO submit monthly writ-
ten reports to the Board of Directors about progress 
against the budget and comparisons with the prior year.  
At monthly meetings (monthly performance reviews) the 
segment heads (COOs) inform the CEO and the CFO about 
business performance and notable events based on written 
reports about e.g. achievement of budget targets. At Board 
of Directors meetings, a summary of these reports is dis-
cussed and assessed with the CEO and the CFO.

Executive Committee

Management philosophy
The dorma + kaba Group delegates entrepreneurial respon-
sibility for operational business to segment level. The corre-
sponding management organization is based on decentral-
ized responsibility and rapid decision-making structures 
situated close to local markets. This helps to keep activities 
focused on the customer. Group functions like Accounting, 
Communications, Controlling, Human Resources, IT and 
 Legal define and monitor Group-wide standards and are 
 responsible for functional, Group-wide projects. The CFO  
is responsible for the Group’s financial affairs. All the inte-
gration tasks associated with the merger of dorma + kaba 
are controlled by the CIO (Chief Integration Officer).

The COOs are responsible for the business activities of 
their respective segments, including development, produc-
tion, sales and services. The Group Innovation Management 
area focused on digitization as well as Intellectual Property 
Management and Quality Management is strategically 
managed at Executive Committee level by the CTO (Chief 
Technology Officer). The CMO (Chief Manufacturing 
 Officer) is responsible for the global purchasing as well as 
the supplier control and helps the operating segments 
 optimize the production and supply chain.

68 Corporate Governance

Management contracts
Neither dorma + kaba Holding AG nor its Group companies 
have entered into any management contracts with third 
parties. 

Compensation
The compensation policy and all the information relating to 
the compensation paid to the company’s management 
bodies are shown in the Compensation Report (page 72 et 
seq). Sections 22–25 and paragraph 28 of the Articles of 
 Incorporation contain rules relating to compensation princi-
ples, loans to governing bodies and General Meeting votes 
on compensation.

Compliance
Compliance principles are set out in the Dorma and Kaba 
Codes of Conduct, as well as in directives and guidelines. Ad-
herence to these rules is extremely important to dorma + kaba 
Group as an internationally active, listed company. Major 
compliance topics include bribery and corruption, antitrust 
and competition law as well as safeguarding the employees’ 
personal integrity. The Code of Conduct and all directives 
and guidelines are available to dorma + kaba’s employees on 
the Group Intranet. The company’s compliance mechanisms 
were introduced on a precautionary basis, are reviewed 
 regularly and are adjusted where necessary to the changing 
business environment. In financial year 2014/2015, the for-
mer Kaba Group carried out an internal compliance audit 
with generally satisfactory results. Points for optimization 
were identified and these were reviewed following the merg-
er of Dorma and Kaba. These points were included in the 
consolidated dorma + kaba Code of Conduct. Managers at 
dorma + kaba Group are regularly trained in compliance 
 matters.

Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct
The dorma + kaba Group’s Codes of Conduct contain stan-
dards and rules on bribery and corruption, equal employ-
ment opportunities, workplace harassment, conflicts of 
 interest, antitrust and competition law and procedures for 
reporting misconduct; they also refer to the company’s 
 values. The Codes of Conduct are available to all employees 
of the dorma + kaba Group in various languages and in elec-
tronic and printed form. When employees join the company 
they confirm in writing that they have received and taken 
note of the documents. Senior managers and the general 
managers of local companies are responsible for implemen-
tation and enforcement of the Codes of Conduct and are 
trained in dealing with the Codes. The Compliance Officer 
within the Legal Department monitors these processes and, 
alongside line managers, is one of the defined contacts for 
reporting infringements of the Code of Conduct. The former 
Kaba Group had also issued a Supplier Code of Conduct in 
order to extend the company’s expectations and values into 
the supply chain. The company’s aim is to ensure its own 
ethical and environmental standards are maintained in the 
production and preparation of the raw materials and com-
ponents it purchases and uses to make the products. As of 
1 July 2016, a consolidated dorma + kaba Code of Conduct 
was newly implemented and applies to the entire Group.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the 
Mod ern Slavery Act 2015 in the United Kingdom. We are 
fully aware of the importance of the Modern Slavery Act 
and highly appreciate this valuable approach to eradi - 
cate slavery and human trafficking from all areas of life. 

 dorma + kaba Holding AG is fully committed to uphold the 
principles of and adherence to international conventions, 
laws and our internal rules and regulations. Our core values 
and principles are defined in our dorma + kaba Code of Con-
duct, covering human rights, forced, compulsory and child 
labor, environmental responsibility and ethical behavior. For 
further  information on the processes that we have in place, 
please see the websites of our subsidiaries in the United 
Kingdom.

Values of the dorma + kaba Group
The Executive Committee and senior management of 
 dorma + kaba Group have defined the corporate values based 
on the separate value statements of the former Kaba and 
the former Dorma Group. Under the name “dorma + kaba 
values” these new corporate values are being implemented 
from 1 July 2016 and rolled out across the whole company.
These are: Customer First, Curiosity, Courage, Performance 
and Trust. These values are the foundations on which 
 dorma + kaba employees work and take and implement de-
cisions; they also serve as guiding principles for conduct  
and collaboration within the Group and for dorma + kaba 
Group’s approach to addressing customer needs.

Shareholders’ participation rights

Voting-right restrictions and proxy voting
At dorma + kaba Holding AG’s General Meetings, each regis-
tered share entitles the owner to one vote. 

The voting restriction was lifted by resolution passed at 

the extraordinary General Meeting dated 22 May 2015  
and became effective at 1 September 2015. A shareholder 
may arrange for another shareholder to represent him or 
her with a written power of proxy or may be represented by 
the independent proxy. 

Majorities required by the Articles of Incorporation
For resolutions covering
•  the conversion of registered shares into bearer shares,
•  the dissolution of the company (including as a result of  

a merger),

•  changes to the Articles of Incorporation provisions on 

 opting out, decision-making by the General Meeting and 
applicable quora, the number and terms of office of 
members of the Board of Directors and the process of 
Board of Directors decision-making,

•  the introduction of voting right restrictions and
•  capital increases
a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes represented is 
required. Otherwise the General Meeting of dorma + kaba 
Holding AG passes its resolutions and decides its elections 
by a majority of votes cast, irrespective of the number of 
shareholders present or votes represented. These rules are 
subject to overriding statutory provisions.

Convocation of the General Meeting of Shareholders and 
agenda
General Meetings are convened as stipulated in law. The 
Board of Directors of dorma + kaba Holding AG is obliged to 
include items on the agenda of the General Meeting if these 
items are requested by shareholders who together repre-
sent 0.5 % of the share capital, and if the request is made in 
writing at least four weeks before the General Meeting. 
Items must be included in writing with details of the matter 
concerned and the proposals.

regain control (50.1 %) of these companies. A change of 
control of dorma + kaba Holding AG happens if a third party 
(i) holds 33⅓  % or more of voting rights in dorma + kaba 
Holding AG in shares, (ii) holds 33⅓  % or more of voting 
rights in dorma + kaba Holding AG in purchase positions and 
the responsible Swiss authority has decided with legal 
 effect that a mandatory offer has been triggered, or (iii) 
publishes the end result of a voluntary offer which, when 
completed, will give it at least 33⅓  % of the voting rights of 
dorma + kaba Holding AG. The Mankel/Brecht-Bergen Fami-
ly can only exercise the rights pursuant to the transfer 
agreement if dorma + kaba Holding AG receives a written 
statement of assurance that (i) nobody associated with the 
Mankel/Brecht-Bergen Family supports the change of con-
trol or has ever been involved in it, and (ii) the Mankel/
Brecht-Bergen Family holds a stake of at least 47.5 % of 
dorma + kaba Holding GmbH + Co. KGaA and dorma + kaba 
Beteiligungs-GmbH. The price according to the transfer 
agreement is based on the market price or nominal value of 
the shares and in the former case is calculated using a fixed 
formula agreed by the parties in the transfer agreement. 
Under certain conditions and for a specific time period, per-
formance of the transfer agreement can be made retro-
spectively. The transfer agreement is annulled if the Mankel/
Brecht-Bergen Family’s stake in dorma + kaba Group falls 
below 25 %. Approval of the transfer agreement can be can-
celled by resolution of the General Meeting. Such a decision 
to cancel must be taken (i) following the publication of a 
public takeover offer to acquire all of the outstanding 
shares of dorma + kaba Holding AG and before the end of 
the offer period and (ii) with the following majority require-
ments: up to the end of 31 December 2018 with a majority  
of at least 75 % of the votes represented and from 1 January 
2019 with a majority of at least 50 % of the votes repre-
sented. The transfer agreement and its performance were 
declared valid under takeover law by the Swiss Takeover 
Board on 22 April 2015.

The transfer agreement is available for shareholders to 

inspect at the company’s head office.

Auditors
Duration of mandate and term of office of Head Auditor 
PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich, has been the auditor 
for dorma + kaba Holding AG since 1907, and Group auditor 
of the dorma + kaba Group since 1982 (auditor 2008/2009). 
The responsible lead auditor took on this function in the 
2009/2010 financial year. In accordance with the rules on 
terms of office pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations, 
from financial year 2016/2017 a new lead auditor will be 
 responsible for auditing the annual and consolidated 
 accounts of dorma + kaba Holding AG.

Auditing fees and additional fees
The fee paid to audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers for 
 services relating to the audit of the annual financial state-
ments of dorma + kaba Holding AG and Group companies 
and the consolidated financial statements of dorma + kaba 
Group came to around CHF 3.12 million in the 2015/2016 
financial year. In financial year 2015/2016 dorma + kaba 
Group also paid expenses in the amount of around CHF 
0.77 million for other consultancy services from Pricewater-
houseCoopers. Approximately CHF 0.30 million of this was 
for general advisory services relating to acquisition projects, 
and around CHF 0.30 million for taxation services (direct 
and indirect taxes). Another CHF 0.17 million was spent on 
support for subsidiaries relating to changes and/or imple-
mentation of new accounting practice rules or accounting

Information pertaining to external auditors
Each year, the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee assesses 
the performance, fees and independence of the auditor  
and suggests to the Board of Directors which external audi-
tor should be proposed to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting 
for selection. Each year the Audit Committee also assesses 
the scope of external auditing, the audit plans and the rele-
vant processes and discusses the results of the audit with 
the external auditors. During the 2015/2016 financial year, 
representatives of the auditors attended two meetings of 
the Audit Committee. You can find more information about 
the Audit Committee from page 63 et seq.

Compensation 
 Report

Annual Report 2015/2016dorma+kabaCompensation Report

Basic principles of compensation
The compensation system of dorma + kaba reflects the 
commitment to attract, engage and retain the best talent 
 within the industry. It is designed to engage executives  
and employees to implement the company’s strategy, to 
achieve the company’s short-term and long-term business 
objectives and to create sustainable shareholder value. 
The compensation system for the members of the  

Executive Committee is built on the following key principles:

Reward for short-term and long-term performance
An important part of compensation is paid as variable 
incentives linked mainly to the overall performance 
of dorma + kaba. Those incentives are well balanced 
between rewarding for short-term results (short-
term incentive) and sustainable success (long-term 
incentive).

Fairness and transparency
Compensation decisions are transparent and fair. 
The target level of total compensation is based  
on the function. The global grading system based on 
Hay Group methodology ensures that functions  
are evaluated in a consistent manner across the 
 organization.

Alignment to shareholders‘ interest
The share-based compensation delivered under the 
long-term incentive plan encourages the sustainable 
commitment of executives and management mem-
bers, and aligns their interests to those of the share-
holders.

Competitiveness
The structure and levels of compensation take into 
account the market practice (benchmarks based on 
Hay Group data).

Compensation for the members of the Board of Directors 
consists exclusively of a fixed payment in cash and shares. 
This ensures that the Board of Directors remains indepen-
dent in exercising its supervisory duties towards the Execu-
tive Committee.

The Compensation Report describes the principles underly-
ing the compensation policy, and provides information 
about the steering process and the compensation actually 
paid to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee  
of dorma + kaba Holding AG. It meets the requirements of 
Articles 14 to 16 of the Ordinance Against Excessive Pay  
at Publicly Listed Companies of 20 November 2013 (VegüV), 
Article 663c of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the SIX Swiss 
Exchange’s Directive on Information relating to Corporate 
Governance, and economiesuisse’s Swiss Code of Best 
Practice for Corporate Governance.

Introductory notes from the Compensation Committee
On 1 September 2015, Dorma and Kaba merged to form 
dorma + kaba as one of the global leaders in the market for 
security and access solutions. In addition to normal business 
operations, the 2015/2016 financial year was impacted by 
the considerable extra work involved in ensuring this merger 
was as strategically and financially successful as expected. 
Overall, 2015/2016 was both highly eventful and commercially 
successful. The group remained on schedule with regard to 
the integration and reorganization and managed to achieve 
its key financial objectives. This is reflected in the variable 
compensation for members of the Executive Committee, as 
described further in this report.

In the reporting year, the Compensation Committee has 
concentrated its efforts on consolidating the compensation 
policy for the newly combined company. The purpose of  
the compensation programs of dorma + kaba is to attract, 
engage and retain executives and employees, to drive out-
standing performance and to encourage behaviors that are 
in line with dorma + kaba’s values as well as with the long- 
term interests of the company’s shareholders. We are still  
in the process of harmonizing the compensation programs 
throughout the organization in order to ensure their align-
ment to the company strategy and to the evolving environ-
ment in which dorma + kaba operates. In particular, the per-
formance indicators in the short-term incentive plan have 
been aligned. In addition, the employment contracts of the 
members of the Executive Committee have been amended  
in order to fully comply with the provisions of VegüV. Addi-
tionally, the Compensation Committee performed its regular 
activities throughout the financial year such as the proposi-
tions of compensation for the members of the Board of 
 Directors and Executive Committee, as well as the prepara-
tion of the Compensation Report and the binding say-on-pay 
votes at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the 
General Meeting).

At the upcoming General Meeting, our shareholders will 

again be asked to prospectively approve the aggregate 
maximum amounts of compensation of the Board of Direc-
tors for the period until the following General Meeting and 
of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2017/2018. 
Further, our shareholders will have the opportunity to ex-
press their opinion about our compensation system and the 
compensation awarded to the Board of Directors and to 
the Executive Committee by way of a consultative vote on 
the 2015/2016 Compensation Report.

Looking ahead, we will continue to regularly review our 

compensation policy in order to promote sustainable  
performance, alignment to the long-term interests of our 
shareholders and employees’ engagement, while being 
compliant with the regulatory environment. The Board of 
Directors would like to thank our shareholders for their  
valuable feedback on our approach to executive compen-
sation.

Managing compensation

Compensation Committee
In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the  
Organizational Regulations of dorma + kaba Holding AG, the 
Board of Directors is responsible for the principles underlying 
the compensation policy and for the steering process; it  
is supported in this work by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee consists of three mem-
bers of the Board of Directors who are elected annually  
and individually by the General Meeting for a period of one 
year. At the General Meeting of 2015, the shareholders 
elected Rolf Dörig (chairperson), Hans Gummert and Hans 
Hess as members of the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee’s main tasks are:

•  Propose and periodically review the compensation policy 

and regulations for the attention of the Board of Directors;
•  Propose to the Board of Directors the specific design of the 
fundamental compensation elements and the determin a-
tion of the compensation-related performance objectives;
•  Propose to the Board of Directors the maximum aggre-

gate compensation amount of the Board of Directors and 
of the Executive Committee to be submitted to the 
shareholders’ vote at the General Meeting;

•  Propose to the Board of Directors the compensation  

to be paid to its members within the limits approved by 
the General Meeting;

•  Decide on the terms of appointment, significant changes 
in existing employment contracts and compensation  
for the members of the Executive Committee within the 
limits approved by the General Meeting;

•  Decide on the share-based compensation to be awarded 
to the members of the Executive Committee and the 
 Senior Management; 

•  Propose to the Board of Directors the Compensation 

 Report. 

Compensation for the Executive Committee as well as the 
Senior Management is set as part of an annual process. 

The Compensation Committee meets as often as business 
requires but at least once a year. In the financial year 
2015/2016, the Compensation Committee held four meet-
ings and one telephone conference of approximately one  
to two hours each. All meetings were attended by all mem-
bers. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee 
 reports to the Board of Directors after each meeting on the 
activities of the committee. The minutes of the committee’s 
meetings are available upon request to the members of the 
Board of Directors. As a general rule, the Chairman of the 
Board of Directors and the CEO attend the meetings in 
 advisory capacity. They do not attend the meeting, or parts 
thereof, when their own compensation and/or performance 
are being discussed.

The Compensation Committee may decide to consult 
 external advisors on specific compensation matters. As in 
previous years, Hay Group, an internationally recognized 
consulting firm, has been appointed to provide benchmark-
ing data on compensation of Executive Committees and 
Senior Management of comparable companies. This consult-
ing firm does not have any non-Human Resources related 
mandate with dorma + kaba.

Shareholders’ involvement
The Board of Directors values the dialogue with shareholders 
and wants to know and understand their views about exec-
utive compensation. In this context, the Board of Directors 
already started holding a consultative vote on the Compen-
sation Report in the financial year 2012/2013. This vote 
 allows shareholders to express their opinion on the compen-
sation policy and systems applicable to the Board of Direc-
tors and the Executive Committee. Since the 2015 General 
Meeting, the Board of Directors also seeks an annual pro-
spective binding approval from shareholders of the maxi-
mum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of 
Directors and the maximum aggregate amounts of fixed 
and variable compensation of the Executive Committee.

The members of the Board of Directors may decide to receive 
part of the cash payment in the form of shares of the com-
pany. The number of shares awarded is calculated using  
the average closing price for the last five trading days of the  
last month of the relevant compensation period. The  
awar ded shares are restricted for a period of three years; 
this blocking period remains in place if a member leaves  
the Board of Directors. In addition, a shareholding owner-
ship guideline is in place, requiring Board members to hold a 
minimum volume of 500 shares of dorma + kaba. This can  
be built up over a period of three years after the implemen-
tation of the guideline (in October 2014) or within three 
years after joining the Board of Directors (in case of new 
members).

Compensation is paid on a pro-rata basis to Board mem-

bers twice a year. For the financial year 2015/2016, the  
first compensation period ended on 30 April 2016, the second 
will end on 31 October 2016. Actual expenses incurred are 
only reimbursed for travel and journeys outside Switzerland 
or as caused by special additional tasks performed on be-
half of the Board of Directors.

As at 30 June 2016, in compliance with the Articles of 
 Incorporation, there were no outstanding loans or credit 
 facilities between dorma + kaba and current or former 
 members of the Board of Directors, or closely related par-
ties to them. Investments held by members of the Board  
of Directors or related persons (including conversion and 
option rights) – if any – are listed on page 80 et seq. and on 
page 52 in the appendix to the balance sheet.

The Articles of Incorporation include the principles of com-
pensation applicable to the Board of Directors and to the 
Executive Committee. Those provisions can be found under 
www.dormakaba.com/en/investor-relations/corporate- 
governance and include:
•  Principles of compensation of the Board of Directors  

(Article 23);

•  Principles of compensation of the Executive Committee 

(Article 24);

•  Binding vote at the General Meeting (Article 22);
•  Additional amount for new members of the Executive 

Committee (Article 25);

•  Credits and loans (Article 28).

Compensation architecture for the Board of Directors
Members of the Board of Directors only receive a fixed com-
pensation based on the responsibilities and time requirement 
of their function, without any entitlement to performance 
related compensation. This ensures that the Board of Direc-
tors remains independent while exercising its supervisory 
 duties towards the Executive Committee. The amount of 
compensation for each function of the Board of Directors  
is determined annually taking into account the market com-
pensation trends and comparisons with other listed Swiss 
industrial companies which operate internationally. The com-
pensation system is defined in a directive dated 20 October 
2015.

1. Composition of compensation
The compensation paid to the Board of Directors comprises 
a cash payment of CHF 90,000 and a fixed award of  
100 shares of dorma + kaba Holding AG, or in the case of the 
Chair man of the Board of Directors, 200 shares. Additional 
fees are paid for specific functions such as chairmanship  
of the Board of Directors, chairmanship and/or membership 
in a committee of the Board of Directors or for performing 
special additional tasks assigned by the Board of Directors. 
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is not eligible to addi-
tional compensation for his participation in the committees.

2. Assessment of actual compensation paid to the Board  
of Directors in the 2015/2016 financial year
The increase in actual compensation paid to the Board of 
 Directors compared to the previous year is due to the  
fact that there are two additional members in the Board  
of  Directors and to the increase in the share price of 6.8 %  
(on average). The compensation system of the Board of  
Directors has not been changed compared to the previous 
financial year. 
  At the General Meeting 2015, the shareholders approved  
a maximum aggregate amount of CHF 2,510,000 for the 
Board of Directors for the compensation period from the 
Gen eral Meeting 2015 until the General Meeting 2016.  
The compensation effectively paid for the portion of this 
term of  office included in this compensation report (Octo-
ber 2015–30 June 2016) is within the limit approved by the 
shareholders. A conclusive assessment for the entire period 
will be included in the compensation report 2016/2017.

Compensation architecture for the Executive Committee
The compensation awarded to members of the Executive 
Committee is primarily driven by the success of the company. 
In addition to a competitive fixed compensation there is  
a performance-related component that rewards for perfor-
mance and allows members of the Executive Committee  
to participate in the company’s long-term value creation.  
The overall compensation consists of the following elements:
•  Annual base salary;
•  Benefits (such as retirement benefits);
•  Short-term incentive;
•  Long-term incentive (share-based compensation).
In order to ensure consistency across the organization, roles 
within the organization have been evaluated using the job 
grading methodology of Hay Group. The grading system is 
the basis for compensation activities such as benchmarking 
and determination of compensation structure and levels. 
For comparative purposes dorma + kaba refers to external 
compensation studies that are conducted regularly by Hay 
Group. These studies include the compensation data of 
2,500 technology and industrial companies, including listed 
and privately held competitors in the security sector that 
are comparable with dorma + kaba in terms of annual turn-
over, number of employees and international reach.

Compensation paid to the Executive Committee must in 

principle be based on the market median in the relevant 
 national or regional market, and must be within a range of 
–20 % to +35 % of this figure. The variable component of 
compensation is targeted to make up for at least 50 % of 
the overall compensation.

1. Annual base salary
Members of the Executive Committee receive an annual 
base salary for fulfilling their functional role. It is based on 
the following factors:
•  Content, responsibilities and complexity of the function; 
•  External market value of the respective role: amount  

paid for comparable positions in the industrial sector in 
the country where the member works; 

•  Individual profile in terms of skills set, experience and 

 seniority.

2. Benefits
As the Executive Committee is international in its nature, the 
members participate in the benefits plans available in their 
country of employment. Benefits consist mainly of retire-
ment, insurance and health care plans that are designed to 
provide a reasonable level of protection for the participants 
and their dependents in respect to the events of retirement, 
disability, death and illness/accident. The members of the 
 Executive Committee with a Swiss employment contract 
participate in the occupational pension plans offered to all 
employees in Switzerland which consist of a basic pension 
fund and a supplementary plan for management positions. 
The pension fund of dorma + kaba in Switzerland is in line 
with benefits provided by other Swiss multinational industrial 
companies. 

Members of the Executive Committee under foreign 
 employment contracts are insured commensurately with 
market conditions and with their position. Each plan varies 
in line with the local competitive and legal environment  
and is, as a minimum, in accordance with the legal require-
ments of the respective country.

Further, members of the Executive Committee are also 
provided with certain executive perquisites such as company 
car or car allowance, representation allowance and other 
benefits in kind according to competitive market practice in 
their country of employment. 

3. Variable compensation
The variable compensation consists of a short-term incentive 
(STI) and long-term incentive (LTI).

3.1 Short-term incentive
The short-term incentive is defined annually as a cash pay-
ment and aims to motivate the participants to meet and 
exceed the company’s measurable financial objectives, 
which are defined in line with the Group’s strategy. For  
each member of the Executive Committee, the short-term 
incentive may not exceed 150 % of the annual base salary. 

Following the “We are ONE company” principle, the short-

term incentive paid to the members of the Executive Com-
mittee is strictly based on Group and segment financial 
 objectives and not on individual goals. The business results 
are compared to the previous year’s results, in order to drive 
a continuous improvement of the business achievements, 
year after year.

The incentive formulas for all members of the Executive 
Committee follow the following principle: the short-term 
incentive consists of a pre-defined share of profit (as a 
 percentage of Group net income or segment EBIT) multi-
plied by growth factors (see illustration on page 83). This 
formula is aligned to the business strategy of profitable 
growth because it rewards for bottom-line results (Group 
net income or segment EBIT) and for top-line contribution 
(sales growth multiplier). Further, for the COOs responsible 
for a segment, the formula also includes a net working 
 capital factor (NWC factor), which reflects the focus on the 
efficient management of the company’s financial resources. 
The pre-defined profit share (in percentage of profit) is 
 determined for each function individually.

For the CEO and other Executive Committee members 
(CFO, CIO (Chief Integration Officer), CTO (Chief Technology 
Officer), CMO (Chief Manufacturing Officer)), the incentive 
formula relates exclusively to Group results. For the COOs it 
relates to segment results and Group results as follows:

Segment  Rationale

Movable Walls

Key Systems

30 %

70 %

Access Solutions (AS)

10 %

30 % all AS segments
60 % own AS segment

Movable Walls and Key Systems are independent global  
segments, the 30–70 % split between Group’s and segment’s  
results is well balanced in terms of rewarding the collective 
performance of the Group and the individual performance of  
the segments.

AS segments (AMER, APAC, DACH, EMEA) are interdependent, 
therefore the weighting strongly encourages collaboration between 
the AS segments and rewards for the AS collective  performance  
and the individual performance of each AS segment in a balanced 
manner.

The calculation of the short-term incentive is based – just 
as the audited financial statements of the Group – on the 
actual figures recorded in the financial reporting system.

Based on the above criteria, the CEO formulates a proposal 
for individual long-term incentive awards, which is subject 
to approval by the Compensation Committee. 

The long-term incentive award is split into two compo-
nents: two-thirds are granted in form of restricted shares 
of dorma + kaba subject to a three-year blocking period. This 
component of the award is designed to provide participants 
an ownership interest in the long-term value creation of  
the company by making them shareholders. The remaining 
third of the award is granted in form of performance share 
units (matching shares) of dorma + kaba subject to a three-
year performance-based vesting period. This component  
of the award is designed to reward participants for the per-
formance of the earnings per share (EPS) of the company 
over the three-year vesting period. The remuneration may 
range from 0 % to a maximum of 200 % of the original 
 number of units granted (maximum 2 shares for each per-
formance share unit originally granted). 

3.2 Long-term incentive
The purpose of the long-term incentive is to give the Execu-
tive Committee an ownership interest in dorma + kaba and a 
participation in the long-term performance of the company 
and thus to align their interests to those of the shareholders. 
Participants are awarded restricted shares and perfor-
mance share units (matching shares) of dorma + kaba on 
the basis of the following criteria:
•  Typical grant size of long-term incentive for a similar 
function on the relevant market (benchmark) and  
positioning of the individual’s total direct compensation 
 compared to that benchmark. Total direct compensation 
includes fixed basic salary + short-term incentive+ allo-
cation under the long-term incentive plan; 

•  Individual performance against pre-defined priorities  
in the financial year prior to the grant, as documented 
within the performance management process;

•  Importance to the company’s success of the projects  

for which the individual is responsible;

•  Desire to retain the person to the company and to its 

overall long-term value creation by offering restricted and 
matching shares subject to a three-year vesting period.

Individual grant based on:
∙   Typical grant size and positioning of total compen-

sation versus benchmark

∙  Individual performance in previous year
∙  Business importance of participant’s projects
∙  Desire to retain participant to company

Restricted shares and performance share units are usually 
awarded annually at the end of September. In case of  
voluntary termination by the participant or termination for 
cause by the company, restricted shares remain blocked  
and the performance share units are forfeited without any 
compensation. In case of termination without cause,  
retirement or disability, restricted shares remain blocked 
and the performance share units are subject to an acceler-
ated pro-rata vesting on the basis of target performance 
(100 %). In case of death or change of control, the blocking 
period of the shares is lifted and performance share units 
are subject to an accelerated pro-rata vesting (death) or 
full vesting (change of control) at 100 % (see also Corporate 
Governance Report, page 69, “Changes of control and de-
fense measures”). 

The conditions for the award of shares and share units 

are governed by the stock award plans (see above) of 
 dorma + kaba and are identical for all participants. An over-
view of the terms and conditions of the shares and share 
units awarded under the current plan and discontinued 
plans (outstanding awards) is provided above. All shares 
awarded in recent years have come exclusively from trea-
sury shares.

4. Employment contracts 
The members of the Executive Committee are employed 
under employment contracts of unlimited duration that  
are subject to a notice period of 12 months. Members  
of the Executive Committee are not contractually entitled 
to  termination payments or any change of control provi-
sions other than the accelerated vesting and/or unblocking 
of share awards mentioned above. 

5. Assessment of actual compensation paid to the Execu-
tive Committee in the 2015/2016 financial year
Compensation paid to the Executive Committee was 
 subject to the following exceptional effects in 2015/2016:
•  Appointment of four new members of the Executive 

Committee as of September 2015: Bernd Brinker as CFO, 
Christoph Jacob as COO Movable Walls, Jörg Lichtenberg 
as CMO (Chief Manufacturing Officer) and Dieter Sichel-
schmidt as COO Access Solutions DACH;

•  Retirement of Hans-Jürg Roth as Chief of Staff as of  

31 January 2016.

Annual Report 2015/2016dorma+kabaCompensation Report

79

•  Variable compensation forms a major part of TDC. The 

percentage of overall compensation paid to the Executive 
Committee as variable compensation in the reporting 
year was 54 % (excluding cash-value benefits and social 
security contributions), which constitutes an increase 
year-to-year (previous year: 52 %);

•  Variable compensation paid out in shares of the company 

accounted to 13 % of TDC (previous year: 12 %). First 
 priority is to increase this proportion up to 30 % share in 
total compensation in coming years.

The maximum aggregate amount of compensation for the 
Executive Committee is subject to the approval of the Gen-
eral Meeting with effect from the financial year 2016/2017 
(the relevant vote was taken at the 2015 General Meeting). 
Accoordingly, the total compensation for the financial year 
2015/2016 was not subject to the approval of the General 
Meeting.

The compensation regulations approved by the Board of 
Directors in the financial 2013/2014 were again proven to 
be very effective in the reporting year. Rigorous implemen-
tation of these regulations guarantees consistent and 
transparent compensation practice based on uniform prin-
ciples and criteria. 

As at 30 June 2016, in compliance with the Articles of 
 Incorporation, there were no outstanding loans or credit 
 facilities between dorma + kaba and current or former 
members of the Executive Committee, or closely related 
parties to them. Investments held by members of the Exec-
utive Committee or related persons (including conversion 
and  option rights) – if any – are listed on page 80 et seq. 
and in the appendix to the balance sheet on page 52.

The following comments can be made about the actual 
compensation paid to the Executive Committee in the 
2015/2016 financial year. In comparison to the previous 
year, total direct compensation (TDC) rose by 37 %.  
This is mainly due to the following factors:
•  There are three additional Executive Committee  members 

compared to previous year;

•  The compensation level of the Executive Committee 

members has been reviewed and adjusted in line with the 
new scope of their role after the merger to dorma + kaba. 
Stronger focus has been given to the variable compen-
sation elements in order to achieve the intended compen-
sation structure where variable compensation amounts 
to at least 50 % of the total direct compensation. This 
guideline is currently met for all members who have not 
been recently promoted. For recently promoted members 
of the Executive Committee, the compensation mix may 
be slightly different and shall be adjusted in the coming 
years to fulfill this principle;

•  The STI payout of the Executive Committee members 

 reflects the very solid underlying financial performance in 
the reporting year (adjusted for extraordinary items and 
merger-related impacts), especially the increase in Group 
Net Income which is the main driver of the STI payout for 
the CEO and other members of the Executive Committee 
(CFO, CIO, CTO, CMO). The financial performance of the 
Segments (COOs) in terms of profitability, sales growth 
and net working capital met expectations overall. Con-
sequently, the STI was 76 % of annual base salary on aver-
age (previous year 75 %);

•  The value of the shares of the company allocated under 
the long-term incentive plan has increased by 48 % com-
pared to previous year;

1)   The compensation for July-October 2014 was paid on the basis of the old rule, and from November 2014 on the basis of the new rule. Compensation consists of a cash 

payment and a fixed allocation of shares. Payments in the form of lump-sum fees are additionally made for specific roles within the Board of Directors (Chair, Vice-Chair, 
chairmanship and membership of the Audit Committee), while payments in the form of time-related fees are envisaged for specific tasks allocated by the Board of 
Directors and for membership of the Compensation, Audit and Nomination Committee. The figures do not include expenses. Compensation for the employer representatives 
on the Swiss pension fund (Ulrich Graf, Karina Dubs-Kuenzle) of CHF 20,000 each, and the compensation for membership of the Board of Directors of Wah Yuet Group 
Holdings Limited (Chiu Elton SK) of CHF 26,747, are included under “Additional compensation for special tasks”.

2)   As part of their compensation, each Board member is awarded a fixed amount of 100 shares (pro rata if a member joins or leaves during the reporting period). The 

Chairman of the Board of Directors receives a fixed 200 shares. Part of the cash element of the basic compensation can also be paid out to individual Board members in the 
form of Kaba Holding AG shares if so requested. This choice was not possible in the 2014 / 2015 financial year because Board members’ actions were restricted by M&A 
activities; the basic component and the additional payments were therefore paid fully in cash in 2014 / 2015. The share allocation for the current period is not yet included in 
the number of shares held on 30. 06. 2015 as shown on page 82.

3)   Overall compensation paid to the Executive Committee consists of fixed basic payment and – if the relevant criteria have been fulfilled – variable short- and long-term 
compensation. The variable compensation comprises a short-term performance bonus, the value of the shares awarded in September 2014 and the value of the annual 
allocation of Matching Shares that go with the awarded shares in accordance with the selected stock award plan.  
The stated social benefits are the amounts actually paid during the year under review and relate to the variable compensation actually paid out in the year under review.  
The STI and LTI amounts shown here are usually only paid out after the end of the reporting year.

4)   The CEO receives a guaranteed allocation of 550 shares (worth CHF 327,322) which is blocked for three years. It is not yet included in the shares held as of 30 June 2015  

as listed on page 82. In the year under review, one member of the Executive Committee has received a number of shares as part of his fixed basic payment.

5)   During the year under review, the variable compensation for individual members of the Executive Committee was worth between 25 % and 67 % of the total compensation 

(social benefits not included). 

6)   Two previous members of the Executive Committee who continued to work for Kaba Group in an advisory role, were additionally paid a total of CHF 244,252 in the financial 

year.

Reto Tognina
Audit expert

We have audited the accompanying compensation report 
of dorma + kaba Holding AG for the year ended 30 June 
2016. The audit was limited to the information according to 
articles 14–16 of the Ordinance against Excessive Compen-
sation in Stock Exchange Listed Companies (Ordinance) 
contained in the tables on pages 80–82 of the compensation 
report.

Board of Directors’ responsibility
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation 
and overall fair presentation of the compensation report in 
accordance with Swiss law and the Ordinance against Ex-
cessive Compensation in Stock Exchange Listed Companies 
(Ordinance). The Board of Directors is also responsible for 
designing the compensation system and defining individual 
compensation packages.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accompa-
nying compensation report. We conducted our audit in 
 accordance with Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards 
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the compensation report complies with 
Swiss law and articles 14–16 of the Ordinance.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit 

evidence on the disclosures made in the compensation 
 report with regard to compensation, loans and credits in 
accordance with articles 14–16 of the Ordinance. The pro-
cedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, inc lud-
ing the assessment of the risks of material misstatements  
in the compensation report, whether due to fraud or error. 
This audit also includes evaluating the reasonableness of 
the methods applied to value components of remuneration, 
as well as assessing the overall presentation of the compen-
sation report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

This communication contains certain forward-looking statements, 
e.g. statements using the words “believes”, “assumes”, “expects”,  
or formulations of a similar kind. Such forward-looking statements 
are based on assumptions and expectations which the company 
believes to be well founded, but which could prove incorrect.  
They should be treated with appropriate caution because they 
naturally involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other 
factors which could mean that the actual results, financial 
situation, development or performance of the company or Group 
are materially different from those explicitly or implicitly assumed  
in these statements. Such factors include:
•  The general economic situation 
•  Competition with other companies
•  The effects and risks of new technologies
•  The company’s ongoing capital requirements
•  Financing costs
•  Delays in the integration of acquisitions
•  Changes in operating expenses
•  Fluctuations in exchange rates and raw materials prices
•  Attracting and retaining skilled employees
•  Political risks in countries where the company operates
•  Changes to the relevant legislation
•  Realization of synergies
•  Other factors named in this communication
If one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors  
should actually occur, or if one of the underlying assumptions  
or expectations proves incorrect, the consequences could be  
materially different from the assumed ones. In view of these  
risks, uncertainties and other factors, readers are cautioned not  
to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  
The Company accepts no obligation to continue to report or  
update such forward-looking statements or adjust them to future 
events or developments. The Company emphasizes that past 
results and performances cannot lead to conclusions about future 
results and performances. It should also be noted that interim 
results are not necessarily indicative of year-end results. Persons 
who are unsure about investing should consult an independent 
financial advisor.
