Derived operating income

Derived consolidated continuing-operation operating income by removing only separately presented net interest and explicitly non-operating pension income/expense from pretax income before equity earnings. Reconciles to sales less all operating expenses, retaining depreciation/amortization, distribution, other taxes, restructuring, goodwill impairment and signed asset/business disposal gains/losses. The FY2025 operating loss remains negative. This is not adjusted EBITDA and does not restore discontinued operations. Applies only to FY2024 and FY2025. Read the financial statement ↗
