Equity ratio

(in %)

1	Change in the regional designation of tesa Turkey from Europe to Asia (previous year Europe: €4,161 million; previous year Africa/Asia/Australia: €2,802 million)
2	The figures for the financial year 2019 have been influenced by the initial application of the leasing standard IFRS 16. This affects especially the following positions: EBITDA (+€64 million), property, plant, and equipment (+€177 million), other liabilities (+€177 million), and key figures derived therefrom.
3	The figures as of December 31, 2018, as well as December 31, 2019, have been amended due to the finalization of the purchase price allocation for the Coppertone business and due to an adjustment to the valuation of an acquisition made in 2018 in the tesa Business Segment.
4	Due to the change in the definition of market capitalization in 2024, the previous years have been adjusted. From 2024, the calculation is based on outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares.
