1) Figures extrapolated to the full year for calculation purposes.
2) As assessed by the rating agencies, half of the hybrid capital shown on the balance sheet is taken into account in the calculation of the adjusted net debt.

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.
