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.

Worked out with Checked's starting values, not your estimate and not market data. Change the assumptions: the value follows.
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.

These accounts do not break down the debts after one year. They count in full as financial debt.
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 result is not corrected for the manager's pay. If the company pays less or more than a market salary, the capitalised earnings are too high or too low.
- 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.
