Key figures in the Annual Report 2025

Throughout the report, we present financial measures that are not defined according to IFRS. We refer to note 7.6 Alternative performance measures, and note 7.10 Definition of terms, for further information. Further, due to divestment of the Cement and Air Pollution Control businesses together with the separation of continuing and discontinued activities, there have been impacts on the calculation of these in this report.

The figures and ratios in both sections are based on continuing activities unless otherwise specifically stated in the text for each line item.

In the consolidated cash flow statement, cash flow from discontinued activities is included in the cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities, combined with the cash flow from continuing activities.

Balance sheet

As at year end 2025, all line items in this section reflect the continuing activities only. Comparatives are not restated.

Financial ratios

For financial ratios where the numerator or denominator is derived from the income statement, as well as the capital employed ratio, figures relating to continuing activities only are used in both the current and comparative reporting periods. Specifically, financial ratios that include equity are based on income statement and balance sheet figures comprising both continuing and discontinued
activities.

Share ratios

Share ratios are based on consolidated group figures, including both continuing and discontinued activities.

Sustainability performance figures

Sustainability performance figures are based on consolidated group figures, including both continuing and discontinued activities.
