Change in accounting method for trading standard software licenses

Stemmer Imaging changed its accounting method for trading standard software licenses in the annual and consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The reason for this is a specification of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) . According to this revaluation, Stemmer classifies the aforementioned sales as agent and therefore reports them in sales only in the amount of the gross margin achieved. The revaluation therefore increased sales growth by 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous valuation.
