ASIC 'raised concern' on Nine TV valuation

ASIC says it has reviewed Nine Entertainment's 2015/16 financial report and raised concerns over the value of goodwill attributed to the television network.

The investments watchdog has confirmed it has raised concerns about the goodwill value Nine Entertainment Corp was carrying for its Nine television network.

Nine made a $260 million non-cash impairment on its TV network in its half-year results last week, citing softer ad markets and falling earnings for the unit.

On Monday, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said it had reviewed Nine's 2016 full-year financial report as part of an ongoing surveillance program and had "raised concerns regarding the value of the goodwill relating to the Nine Network".
