1 2023 information has been restated to reflect a reclassification of costs from Administrative costs to Production costs. Prior years have not been restated. More information can be found in note 7.1 in the 2024 annual report.

Use of alternative performance measures


Throughout the 2024 annual report we present financial measures which are not defined according to IFRS. We have included additional information in note 7.4 Alternative performance measures and 7.8 Definition of terms in the 2024 annual report.

The financial ratios have been computed in accordance with the guidelines of the Danish Finance Society. Refer to note 7.8 in the 2024 annual report for definitions of terms.

*Mining Technologies is included for the last four months of 2022. 2022 Scope 1 and 2 (market based) was updated to reflect Mining Technologies. 

**Sustainability key figures are from our Sustainability Report. Starting in 2018, TRIR is including contractors. Spend with suppliers with science-based targets was tracked for the first time in 2021. Scope 3 economic intensity was a new target introduced in 2021 using 2019 data as baseline. No data was tracked for economic intensity in 2020. 2019 baseline has been recalculated to include Mining Technologies which is reflected in 2022 reported number.

***Reported lifetime greenhouse gas emissions for 2021 have been recalculated by 631 tonnes CO₂e due to two orders moved from 2021 to 2022 to align with the effective Order Intake date.
