Calculation differences may arise when rounded amounts and percentages are summed automatically.
- Including cash and cash equivalents
- Operating retuon equity (operating RoE) measures the profitability of the Group by expressing the business operating result as a ratio of the capital employed.
- The value is calculated using shareholders' equity before non-controlling interests, less the revaluation reserve and less hybrid bonds.
- Proposed dividend
- The calculation of this figure includes the proportional interest expenses for hybrid capital in 2018. The undiluted earnings per share equals the diluted earnings per share (in EUR).
