Key economic performance indicators
Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic drive down ROCE and debt coverage.
ROCE
ROCE deteriorated as a result of the significant decline in adjusted EBIT, mainly due to Covid-19. Capital employed remained almost unchanged.
Debt coverage
Debt coverage has fallen. Operating cash flow after taxes declined significantly as a result of the fall in income caused by Covid-19. In addition, net debt increased significantly more than net financial debt as a result of the proportional inclusion of hybrid capital and the increase in pension obligations.
