In the current year, the following key indicators were included in the overview: orders on hand, earnings before finance income / expense, income tax, depreciation and amortisation, free cash flow, net financial position and EBIT margin. Cash flow, fixed assets, current assets, return on equity, return on capital employed and staff costs are no longer presented as key indicators. # Restated under IAS 8 * Restated retrospectively due to new definition of EBIT as earnings before finance income / expense and income tax (previously earnings before interest and income tax) Further information is provided in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. |
