Key figures

To improve the economic and financial review, in addition to conventional IAS/IFRS indicators and financial statements, the Directors’ Report also contains reclassified financial statements and several alternative performance indicators such as EBITDA, EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net profit and net financial debt. The tables below, their explanatory notes and the reclassified financial statements describe how these amounts were determined. Unless otherwise specified, definitions of the terms used can be found in the glossary.
