Change in the result, 2025 to 2026
For each income-statement line you see the change as its effect on the result. Higher costs lower the result, higher income raises it.
Derived cash bridge
The bridge is derived from the 2025 and 2026 balance sheets and the 2026 result. There is no filed cash-flow statement. You see where the money came from and where it went.
