Definitions financial ratios

The company presents a number of financial metrics in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS (Alternative Performance Measures according to ESMA guidelines). These financial ratios provide valuable supplementary information to investors, company management and other stakeholders as they enable effective evaluation and analysis of the company's financial position and performance. The alternative performance measures are not always comparable with the measures used by other companies and should therefore be regarded as a complement to measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Platzer applies these alternative performance measures consistently over time. The performance measures are alternative in accordance with ESMA's guidelines unless otherwise stated. Below is an explanation of how Platzer's key ratios are defined and calculated.
