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.

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.

Limits of the indication
- Checked holds no market prices or comparable transactions.
- Anything after the latest accounts and items off the balance sheet (guarantees, leases, disputes) are left out.
- Checked does not know the real value of buildings, stock and receivables. Enter your own revaluation or adjustment for it.
- The owner's role in the business, synergies for a buyer and the tax consequences of a sale are left out.
For a valuation to base a decision on, go to a company auditor or a certified accountant.
