Group FFO
Group FFO reflects the recurring earnings from the sustained operating business. In addition to the Adjusted EBITDA for the Rental, Value-add, Recurring Sales and Development segments, Group FFO allows for recurring cash-effective net interest expenses from non-derivative financial instruments as well as income taxes. This key figure is not determined on the basis of any specific international reporting standard but is to be regarded as a supplement to other performance indicators determined in accordance with IFRS.
