corum was founded in 1955 in switzerland . this watch brand has specialised from the beginning in extraordinary and luxury watches , and the idea was to give the best watches on the market , top competition . in the mid 1980 ' s severin wundermann , a native of brussels , moved to the usa , while fleeing the nazis , bought the watch brand name of corum . the business man had already founded gucci time pieces , along with aldo gucci in the 1960 ' s , and they were very successful . as gucci bought back his company ' s watchmakers licence , wundermann found in corum the perfect follower for his extremely successful business .

this is a sentiment echoed by rivals coming from the electronics sector . hiroshi nakamura , executive vice - president at japan ' s casio , warns that traditional watchmakers do not have the necessary technological background .
for swiss mechanical manufacturers to create smartwatches is nearly impossible ,
he says .
concurrently , the budding american watch trade began to coalesce around the needs of the railroad industry , which demanded accurate timekeepers . while american watchmakers did not have a history of practicing rarefied arts , like their huguenot counterparts in geneva , they excelled at producing reliable timekeeping devices quickly and efficiently .
starting at 270 , 000 euros , this is one of the most important timepieces ever produced by a member of the holy trinity of watchmakers . click here to read all about vacheron constantin in our guide , and you’ll quickly realize why this watch is worth your attention and your praise .
according to corum’s chief executive , antonio calce , the problems at corum began in 2000 , when severin wunderman , then head of gucci’s fashion watch division , bought a controlling interest from the bannwart family and decided to focus production on fashion watches .
corum’s international priority remains the hotly contested chinese market , because “it offers a huge growth potential for the watchmaking industry . ”

in the past decade , many swiss watchmakers , from luxury kingpins such as vacheron constantin to mid - market brands such as frederique constant , have embraced the notion of becoming manufacturers , a term of prestige that distinguishes companies that make every bit of their watches from those that buy components for assembly and marketing .
“i don’t see a danger for richemont and swatch group : the corum and eterna brands are way too weak , ” he said .
hon said he planned to keep the corum and eterna operations separate , as it does with its rossini and ebohr brands in china .

) may not stop at this week’s acquisition of swiss watchmaker corum as it seeks a foothold in high - end timepieces popular with chinese consumers .
a year later , mr . calce organized a private buyout of the wunderman interests , and began repositioning corum as a higher - end brand .

the art deco–inspired timepiece is the newest version of a 1970s design by master watchmaker vincent calabrese . it’s at once a fascinating object and a touchstone of classic watchmaking . the golden bridge is known for having a straight and elongated gold baguette movement enclosed in sapphire crystals to provide unfettered views of its mechanism . the golden bridge stream is a reinterpretation of the calabrese original , updated by a new generation of watchmakers to pay homage to the west coast landmark .
automatic is used to describe a self - winding mechanical watch and is the most popular mechanical movement used by watchmakers . an automatic watch is wound by the movement of the wrist and as long as you wear the watch regularly , it will rarely need to be manually wound . an automatic watch uses energy from the mainspring to power the watch , rather than a battery . this energy is created by a rotor which turns in response to the wearer’s movement .
elvis presley was an avid watch fan who loved to sport timepieces from omega , rolex , hamilton , and many other renowned brands . this month , his vintage corum buckingham is up for auction .
corum filed a patent for a new invention showcased in the tabogan watch , equipped with an ingenious mechanism allowing the watch case to be positioned upright , and thus transforming the wristwatch into a table clock .
check out this selection of traditional corum hand - wound mechanical watches . the second hands rotate in a sweeping motion , moving continuously around the dial . these watches tend to have thinner profiles for a sleeker appearance .
montres corum sàrl or as we all know and love it , corum . it ' s one of the most recognizable brands in the watch world . they have produced some of the most outgoing and eye catching models we know today . models like the gold coin which is made in variations of dollar sizes with the most widely known being the $ 20 dollar piece . one of the inspiring models is the admirals cup , modeled after a sail race between countries braving the elements and testing their resistance . the bezel sports all of the countries participating team flags . it’s influential history like this that makes corum a must have in any collection .
van cleef & arpels’ contributors tend to play an unusually active role in the creative process . instead of only taking direction from the company , they sometimes act as consultants , suggesting new approaches to enhance a design . consequently , some of these artisans—including enamelist dominique baron and engraver and marquetry specialist olivier vaucher—have achieved a level of name recognition once reserved for star watchmakers . some collectors can look at a dial and identify it as one of baron’s in the same way art connoisseurs can recognize the works of particular artists .
mr . wunderman , who died in 2008 , pushed corum “into a different business model , ” than before , mr . calce said , producing less expensive watches marketed for upper - middle income european and american consumers .
one of the most classic and elegant timepieces produced by audemars piguet , it’s undeniable proof why ap is considered a member of the holy trinity of watchmakers . stunning aesthetics blended with a world - class proprietary movement , the jumping hours repetition is brilliant in all ways . one of my favorite features is the repeater’s ability to be used as an auxiliary time zone , making it perfect for jet - setters . priced right between chf 265 , 000 and 285 , 000 , this timepiece is a steal for what you’re getting .
but corum’s history remained the key to success , mr . calce said . he said he leaned mostly on the brand’s “two iconic pillars , ” the admiral’s cup collection and the bridges collection because their patents narrowed the competition .

are going to join with him and aid in his destruction of the mortal realm . however , ryo refuses to give up . he leaps onto the giant dynasty emperor and starts his assault , but is no match for talpa and quickly finds himself knocked back down on the roof . talpa sneers at his efforts and leaps up , aiming to land right on top of wildfire with one foot . ryo gets up and dodges out of the way just as talpa slams through the tiles . talpa immediately changes tactics and slashes his sword in the ronin ' s direction , unleashing a wave of power . ryo ' s caught by surprise and barely dodges talpa ' s next thrust with his blade . the sword instead brings down one of the spires surrounding the castle . wildfire uses the damaged spire as a springboard to leap up into the air . he uses his special attack and lands a direct hit , but unfortunately , talpa takes it in stride .
established by big brother creator john de mol , talpa is a fast growing netherlands based production and distribution business , focused on developing new formats that attract large audiences and have significant global commercial potential . over the last six years , talpa has created 75 shows airing in more than 180 countries , with 16 new formats broadcast last year . talpa’s focus on high quality formats fits well with itv studios’ existing genre focus , and will add to itv’s growing portfolio of international production companies .
under the leadership of john de mol and ceo pim schmitz , talpa has a strong track record of operational and financial performance . in the financial year to 31 december 2014 , the company generated €233 million revenue from productions , format fees and new revenue sources , delivering €61 million ebita . following the transaction , john de mol , together with his senior management and creatives , will continue to play a key role in format creation and development to maintain talpa’s strong creative pipeline , working exclusively for talpa alongside itv studios managing director kevin lygo and his team . a key focus for talpa will be to continue to maintain and develop its client relationships .
talpa summons a bolt of lighting , which strikes his sword and temporarily blinds ryo . down below , the clouds continue to cover toyama . the sectors of the city that were once unaffected by the nether realm ' s influence suddenly lose power . the clouds clear to reveal talpa ' s castle , high above the city skyline . talpa tells ryo to gaze down at the city , where the fear of it ' s people continue to give him strength . it won ' t be long before the entire planet is affected . his words spark a memory within ryo as he recalls the source of talpa ' s power - the captured citizens of toyama .
silverback , like talpa scandinavia , aims to serve as a one - stop creative shop with the ambition to develop strong international formats for tv and new media platforms .
talpa has spent the last thousand years plotting his revenge , and in this episode , his goals may finally be realized as he regains control over all nine mystical armors .
position in tv the new to be established tv company gives tmg initially the possibility to obtain a strategic interest of 15 % in the share that talpa holds in sbs . for tmg this is relevant since also in the future this form of television will continue to play an important role in reaching consumers . tmg and talpa further expect to strengthen the ott - position with this strategic interest , in view of the access to the knowledge and capabilities of both talpa and sbs with regard to respectively tv - productions and content .
i gotta figure out what to do ! if i kill talpa , my friends will die , but if i don ' t , he will destroy the world .
of all the potential partners for talpa , there’s no doubt itv is the best fit . when it comes to the importance of content , the strategy of both successful companies is exactly the same and for talpa this represents a fantastic opportunity for strong further growth . it also enables me personally to concentrate and focus even more on creating new , groundbreaking content .
de mol won clearance from the dutch competition watchdog last week to buy prosiebensat . 1’s sbs tv and print operations , which include three channels , provided talpa sell its rival media assets .
copenhagen - - talpa scandinavia ceo anna carrfors brakenhielm announced thursday that she has bought dutch media mogul john de mol ' s 75 % share of the stockholm - based media concept outfit .
itv will pay an initial cash consideration of €500 million ( approximately £355 million ) for 100 % of talpa’s fully diluted share capital with further payments dependent on talpa’s future performance . the total maximum consideration , including the initial payment , is up to €1 . 1 billion ( approximately £781 million ) . this total is contingent on talpa continuing to deliver significant profit growth over an eight year period as well as john de mol’s continued commitment to the business during this time . the transaction will be earnings accretive from day one and is expected to accelerate itv studios’ growth internationally .
talpa media , the separate production company that created “big brother , ” “deal or no deal” and “the voice , ” was acquired by itv in march 2015 for $ 1 . 17 billion .
ryo struggles to hang on while the dynasty emperor watches from atop the castle . talpa is more than happy to let him fall , as long as he can take the wildfire armor . the warrior of fire proclaims that he won ' t die until he ' s taken out talpa . the emperor reminds him that doing so will forfeit the lives of the four ronin warriors . he won ' t be denied what he believes to be rightfully his . with that , talpa leaps off the palace and lands on the ground , demanding that the armor of wildfire be returned to him . ryo refuses again as he starts to pull himself back up onto the roof . talpa slashes his sword at ryo , but just misses him due to the timely arrival of white blaze .
talpa actually expresses regret on having to bring ryo down using the power of the other ronin armors . however , he feels it was well worth it , as the armor of wildfire will now become a part of him . as he approaches ryo , the ronin silently wonders what the point of all this was if it only ended in their defeat . talpa prepares to make the final strike , and ryo apologizes to his friends for failing , knowing they will be together again . but just as he finishes this thought , his virtue flashes across his forehead and the wildfire armor begins to glow . ryo is brought back to his feet as his friends surround him spirtually , restoring the power to his armor . he reacts in surprise , not understanding what ' s going on . it ' s not long , though , before he figures it out and glancing up at talpa proves it . the dynasty emperor is frozen in place , the power of the ronin warriors holding him back . and he is not happy about it in the slightest .
ryo reacts in confusion , and talpa informs him that the power of the eight armors makes him much stronger than the power of the wildfire armor . he grabs ryo and holds him tight in one hand , causing the ronin pain . talpa prepares to absorb ryo into him , even as the warrior of fire protests and struggles . suddenly , a strange presence freezes both ronin and dynasty emperor in their place . talpa ' s grip losens on ryo , much to his surprise , but wildfire realizes what ' s happening - the other four ronins are fighting from within . this new revalation strengthens ryo ' s resolve . talpa mocks the four , claiming that they ' re attempts to defy him are useless . he ' s still determined to complete his armor and once again goes to absorb ryo , but the ronin jumps out of his reach . he now has a new problem . any move he makes against talpa could potentially hurt the other ronin warriors , so ryo must find a way to save them before he takes out the dynasty emperor .
talpa , not pleased , jumps up and attacks again . white blaze takes off , dodging the blow swiftly as he leaps over the emperor ' s shoulder and runs away in the opposite direction . ryo , meanwhile , continues to think about how to kill talpa without killng his friends , knowing he can ' t allow the dynasty emperor to live . talpa states that wildfire ' s retreat won ' t work , as he can simply use the power of the other armors against him . ryo doesn ' t understand , and so talpa follows up this statement by summoning the power of the armor of the strata . the dynasty emperor shapeshifts into rowen and uses his signature attack . ryo calls out to his friend , but quickly realizes that strata doesn ' t seem to recognize him . white blaze leaps up to avoid the arrow , and the blast strikes part of the roof behind them .
ryo starts running from talpa , much to his amusement as he chases after him . ryo is still obsessing over finding a way to free his friends without hurting them . coming to the edge of the roof , wildfire stops and turns to face the dynasty emperor . he glances down briefly at the dark cloud bank below him . talpa continues to gloat over his upcoming victory over the ronin warriors . he offers ryo the chance to be reunited with his friends by surrendering , but ryo refuses , stating that the emperor is trying to trick him . talpa advances on him again , forcing ryo to step back to the very edge of the roof . there ' s literally nowhere for him to go . talpa wonders why the ronin continues to fight his fate , but he ' s once again stopped by the other four ronins . done playing games , the dynasty emperor demands that ryo give into him .
yuli asks mia if she knows why rowen would turn on ryo . mia tells him that it ' s not rowen , but talpa who launched the attack . now that he has their armors , he ' s able to take over the ronins .
talpa ' s triumph
is the eighteenth episode of ronin warriors . it was originally broadcasted on syndicated television during the summer of 1995 , and was eventually aired through reruns on the scifi channel , as well as part of cartoon network ' s toonami programming block .
rowen and sage encourage ryo to attack talpa . cye tells him that they will keep the emperor paralyzed while he strikes . kento says that he shouldn ' t worry about the four of them . rowen concurs , adding that their mission is to protect the mortal realm . talpa tries to resist the ronin power , but can ' t break their hold on him . ryo starts to notice that his blades have seemed to come together by themselves , preparing for his signature move . he struggles against it , knowing what will happen if he allows his friends to influence his armor like this . he refuses to forfeit their lives . his arms are forced into the air as rowen chastises him , reminding him that the whole reason they were captured was to give ryo this chance . sage tells him to go for it as the blade of the wildfire sword moves into place , pointing directly at talpa . ryo commands his friends not to force his hand . kento scolds him for hesitating . cye again reminds him that their hold on talpa can only last for so long , which means ryo needs to attack right away . ryo ' s blades move , fusing together and preparing to initiate the attack . talpa ' s body is flashing the various ronin colors . however , ryo refuses , begging his friends to stop pressuring him into doing something he doesn ' t want to do . he regains control over himself and separates the swords of wildfire .
talpa suddenly finds himself able to move again , the power of the ronin warriors giving out . he informs ryo that it ' s time to surrender . ryo falls to his hands and knees , tears streaming down his cheeks as he trembles from what just happened . for the last time , talpa raises his blade in the air and brings it down , pointing directly at ryo . wildfire screams as he ' s caught in it ' s beam . mia and yuli call his name . yuli tells him not to give up . white blaze roars . but it ' s too late .
tv 538 is a music television channel that airs music videos and live coverage of its radio broadcasts . dutch radio station radio 538 launched the tv channel on 4 july 2011 . the channel is owned by talpa network . it broadcasts 24 hours a day and airs across the netherlands . [ 1 ]
ryo :
i can ' t do it ! my friends , i can ' t kill you just to beat talpa . i won ' t make that sacrifice .
rowen :
come on , think about it . we saved you so you could kill talpa .
sage :
our souls are in your hands . take your best shot !
ryo :
stop it ! stop it now , please !
kento :
what ' re you waiting for , man ? we ' re banking on your power to pull this off !
cye :
show him the power of the armor of wildfire ! do it now while we can hold him !
ryo :
no . i can ' t . i can ' t do it ! i won ' t ! i can ' t destroy talpa if it kills you . don ' t make me , please !
a short distance away , mia and yuli are beginning to understand the desperation of the situation . mia expresses her surprise over talpa ' s strength . yuli tries to charge into the fray himself , but she holds him back . he just wants to help ryo , knowing that the ronin is about to lose .
lucian grainge , chief executive , universal music group , said : “innovation breeds success , and in television , john de mol’s track record is second to none . he evidently has another winner with ‘the voice of…’ format , and we’re proud to be partners with talpa in finding some of tomorrow’s most exciting new singers . ”
john de mol , owner of talpa , stated : “each episode of ‘the winner is…’ consists of eight exciting little stories around first class singing talent . in my view it’s for 75 % a singing contest and for 25 % a game show , which makes it a completely new combination of two highly appreciated tv genres . ”
mia contemplates the meaning of this and excitedly realizes that this means that those who were taken prisoner must still be alive . yuli is thrilled to hear that his mom and dad are okay . mia tells him that it ' s the people ' s fear that has allowed talpa to grow in size . she says that the dynasty emperor can ' t be allowed to win . yuli tells ryo that he has to defeat talpa to save his parents . ryo promises to do what he can , but he can ' t just abandon the other ronins . talpa tells him to forget about them , as he ' s the one currently in trouble . he moves in to grab ryo again , but the ronin loses his footing and falls off the roof . ryo manages to grab on to the edge of one of the lower roofs with one hand . mia and yuli call up to him , the boy encouraging him . white blaze runs over to the castle wall and starts leaping up onto the roof .
if they ' re alive , then - i ' ve got to find a way to free them . how can i kill talpa and not kill them ? i have to figure out something . there ' s got to be a way to fight him and still save my friends . i can ' t lose this .
with only one more armor to reclaim , talpa goes straight for the attack , using his sword to slice up the roof below his and ryo ' s feet . the ronin is blasted into the sky , but quickly recovers and lands safely on a spire . the dynasty emperor takes a moment to relish in the power he has gained from the eight
max hole , coo , universal music group international , said : “we like betting on singers , and the immediate ratings success of ‘the voice of holland’ proves that there’s plenty of room for innovative thinking about music and television . this is a format with immense international appeal , and we’re looking forward to working with talpa to bring fresh talent to audiences worldwide . ”
the sbs deal still has to be approved by regulatory authorities but talpa said monday it expects to close soon . for de mol , the deal brings him one major step closer to creating a dutch multimedia company that , in his words , “is flexible enough to respond to the changing media landscape” and has the scale to be of interest both to advertisers and customers .
london / los angeles / laren , holland , january 19 , 2011 – universal music group ( umg ) , the world’s leading music company , has concluded a global recording and artist services agreement for the world’s hottest new tv music property , “the voice of…” , with its producers , talpa media group , headed by one of the television industry’s most visionary entrepreneurs , john de mol .
nota ( new on the air ) is the continuous tracking and monitoring service for new tv shows worldwide . nota tracks absolutely all new programs in the fiction , entertainment and factual genres . over the last few months , nota observed that the telenovela boom in europe is holding , but it appears that north american telenovelas are replacing latin american ones . indeed , during the first four months of 2006 , nine telenovelas were launched in the countries covered by nota . among these titles , six were produced in latin america . the mexican rubi was the first telenovela to hit the french screens in april 2006 . it achieved modest results in comparison to the channel ' s performance with an average share of 13 , 4 % among 18 - 49 housewives , despite a good start with a 24 . 1 % share .
schmitz told variety : “one of the pure strengths ( of the itv team ) is their thinking regarding content , and their content strategy , which is exactly the same as it is at talpa . there is a perfect match . adam and his team are sympathetic and great people , and it remains a people business , and me and my team clicked immediately with adam and his team .
under its new agreement with the voice talent agency ( tvta ) , universal music group will record and promote the new stars emerging from “the voice of…” series around the world ( with the exception of holland and belgium , where rights are placed with 8ball music ) . in addition , umg and talpa will work together to provide artist services , to maximise the potential of the franchise and the finalists internationally .
“they said you do certain things at talpa even better than we do , so we want you to take some of that knowledge and we are going to implement it across the itv group . and that’s got to do with our content strategy and our connect strategy — our all digital strategy — and interactivity , and they expect us to share that knowledge and see how that can work for the whole itv group .
tmg announces the intention to enter into a strategic cooperation with talpa , thus further enhancing its position in radio , tv and ott . the steps by tmg fit with the tmg strategy to fully capitalize 24 / 7 on the quickly changing media requirements of consumers , with its ( journalistic ) content , strong brands and in its domains . this cooperation fits with the objective of tmg to enter into strategic partnerships with industry leaders .
other worldwide talpa hits include game show i love my country , which has been sold to 26 countries ; dating in the dark , aired in 24 countries ; game shows divided and battle of the sexes as well as utopia , a social television experiment , which launched last year and has already sold to seven countries including romania , turkey and germany where it recently aired to become sat . 1’s best format launch since 2009 .
john de mol , owner of talpa media , commented regarding the deal : “i am convinced that the u . s . version of this format , ‘the voice’ , will be a great instrument in discovering genuine and amazing new singing talent in the biggest entertainment market in the world . it’s fantastic to have broadcaster nbc and mark burnett on our side in the u . s . , but universal music makes the picture complete . ”
white blaze slows to a stop as ryo recovers from the attack , though he ' s still confused about what ' s going on . talpa , having changed back to his true form , comments on ryo ' s mood . he then continues to prove his power by changing his form again , this time into sage . with the power of the armor of halo , he strikes with his special move , this time landing a direct hit on ryo . the emperor changes back into himself before taking on the form of cye and unleashes his special attack with the power of the torrent armor . wildfire uses his sword to try and block it , but the force of the attack is too strong , and he ' s knocked off of white blaze . once the attack has died down , white blaze walks back over to ryo as talpa jumps down to the ground to join them . he changes his shape one more time to kento and , with the power of the armor of hardrock , uses his signature move . the two try to hold their ground , but have no choice but to leave the area . unfortunatley , they ' re still caught in the backlash and thrown to the ground again . ryo struggles to try and sit up as talpa approaches again . the dynasty emperor gloats over his new power .
“great content is at the heart of itv’s growth strategy and the acquisition of talpa builds on the success of our international content business and is absolutely in line with our desire to create and own formats that travel . john de mol and his team have an incredible track record of doing that consistently over many years and i’m delighted to welcome them to the itv family . this is a great opportunity for itv to accelerate its progress in building a global content business of scale . ”
the dutch channel talpa successfully launched in february 2006 its own version of the colombian hit yo soy betty la fea , while zdf launched the local a life for love and pro 7 lotta in love . in 2007 , it has all changed . thirteen telenovelas have been launched over the same four - month period , that is to say an increase of more than 44 % . almost 70 % of these telenovelas are us productions . two main titles have been exported : ugly betty and fashion house .
itv plc today announced that it has agreed to acquire talpa media b . v . , the entertainment show producer behind worldwide hit formats , including the voice , the voice kids , utopia , i love my country and dating in the dark for an initial cash consideration of approximately £355 million . the acquisition is a further milestone in the company’s strategy of building an international content business that creates and owns entertainment formats and dramas that sell internationally , and significantly strengthens itv’s position as a leading producer in europe .
. he then thanks ryo for all the effort that he and the other ronins put into defeating the dark warlords , as the strength they gained from each battle has now become his own . wildfire reflects on his friends ' valient efforts to protect him , expressing his regret for not being able to save them . he promises that he will keep fighting in their honor . talpa reminds ryo that he ' s the last one standing , and that his power will increase the demon emperor ' s once he ' s been absorbed .
mia and yuli run up to the foot of the castle , looking up at the battle above them . yuli calls to ryo as mia states her disbelief that the legend is coming to pass . yuli asks what happened to the other four . mia explains that they ' ve been defeated and that there might not be anything that can stop talpa from taking the mortal world . yuli demands to know how the ronins could have possibly lost , but mia has no answer for him . he refuses to give up hope and shouts encouragingly to ryo .
john de mol is to sell his tien tv channel ( formerly known as talpa ) to rtl nederland . the move was announced earlier today on the rtl nieuws website . however , within a short time the item was removed from the site . the news follows weeks of speculation about the future of tien . both rtl and sbs were named as potential buyers of the channel , whose main asset is the rights to dutch premiere league football . some time ago rtl nederland ceo fons van westerloo said a deal was almost closed , but no further news emerged .

john de mol ( born in 1955 ) is the creator of several worldwide blockbuster formats , such as big brother , deal or no deal and the voice . for the latter , he has won four emmy awards .
in 2017 , the dutch tv business sbs is included in sanoma’s reported result until the end of june . in total , a non - cash capital loss of eur - 308 . 3 million will affect sanoma’s 2017 net result , most of which was reported already in the first quarter result as an item affecting comparability as all assets and liabilities relating to sbs were classified as held for sale in accordance with ifrs5 when the transaction was announced .
sanoma booked a capital loss of eur - 424 . 6 million as an item affecting comparability in its operating profit for the first quarter of 2017 . as sanoma held 67 % of shares in sbs , the related item amounting to eur 137 . 7 million was booked as an item affecting comparability in non - controlling interests , the net impact of the transaction on the result attributable to the equity holders of the parent company in the first quarter being eur - 286 . 8 million . in the second quarter , sanoma will book a capital loss of eur - 32 . 8 million in its operating profit as an item affecting comparability and the related item amounting to eur 11 . 4 million in non - controlling interests . therefore the net capital loss of the transaction in the second quarter is eur - 21 . 4 million which is sanoma’s share of the net profit of sbs . in addition , a net amount of eur 21 . 9 million related to ifrs5 - required discontinuation of amortisations will be reported in items affecting comparability . the total impact of the transaction in the group’s net result will therefore be eur - 286 . 4 million .
below is a comparison between the reported and comparable adjusted key figures for first quarter 2017 , first quarter 2016 and full - year 2016 . the comparable adjusted figures are presented to illustrate the effect of the divestment on the group . reported figures include sbs and veronica uitgeverij . comparable adjusted figures exclude fully the divested operations of sbs but include 100 % of veronica uitgeverij . no other structural changes have been adjusted . only the reported figures for 2016 are audited .
sanoma presents certain financial performance measures ( alternative performance measures or apms ) on a non - ifrs basis . the apms are provided to reflect the underlying business performance and to enhance comparability from period to period . apms should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with ifrs . more information is available at sanoma . com .
in connection with the divestment , sanoma has decided to change its segment reporting . previously sanoma reported two segments , consumer media ( comprising sanoma media finland and sanoma media bene ) and learning ( comprising sanoma learning ) . following the divestment of the dutch tv business , sanoma considers that the operations of its two strategic business units focusing on consumer media , sanoma media finland and sanoma media bene , are quite different and should be reported separately . therefore sanoma will report three operating segments going forward , i . e . its three strategic business units sanoma media bene , sanoma media finland and sanoma learning . this will be aligned with the way sanoma manages the businesses . the change will be effective from the second quarter 2017 onwards and sanoma will publish additional information on the new segments before its second quarter results are released .
