Change in the result, 2023 to 2024
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
Cash or the result is not a separate line in both sets of accounts. So the cash flow cannot be derived from them.

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.
