dormakaba Access Solutions (China) Ltd. signed an agreement on 3 April 2025 to form a joint venture with Guangdong Kinlong Precision Products Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guangdong Kinlong Hardware Products Co., Ltd. (“Kinlong”). Kinlong is the leading Chinese construction and architectural hardware company. Through this joint venture, dormakaba enhances its go-to-market in the strongly growing Chinese hospitality vertical.

Accounting principles

Investments in associates and joint ventures where dormakaba Group exercises significant influence but does not have control (i.e. usually 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 costs and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize dormakaba Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture after the date of acquisition. Profit and loss are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the minority interests, even if this results in a negative balance.
