20 Min Switzerland will in Q4 2002 show a growth in revenues of approx. 60-70% compared to last year. In November 20 Min Switzerland had an operating profit (10%) before taxes for the first time. The Internet operation also experiences solid revenue growth and will have a break-even result in Q4 2002. The development in readership is still positive and official surveys in 2003 will show high growth due to, among other things, new distribution agreements.
