From the 2016 result to the 2017 result
Each bar is the change in one income-statement line, as its effect on the result: higher costs pull it down, higher income lifts it.
Derived cash bridge
Cash or the result is not a separate line in both sets of accounts; the cash flow cannot be derived from them.
