Change in the result, 2024 to 2025
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 2024 and 2025 balance sheets and the 2025 result. There is no filed cash-flow statement. You see where the money came from and where it went.

The filed figures and these assumptions give no positive value. The adjusted equity and the average result are both zero or negative.
Part of the calculation comes out below zero. A shareholding is never worth less than zero, so the floor is zero.
