Change in the result, 2024 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
A cash bridge needs two consecutive financial years. One year's result and depreciation cannot explain a change over several years. Pick two years that follow each other.
