Cash comprises bank balances, cash-on-hand, and checks. Cash equivalents are short-term liquid investments with an initial term of not more than three months that can be converted into cash at any time and are exposed to no more than insignificant fluctuations in value. Given the very short terms (e.g., due on demand) and the creditworthiness of our contractual partners, no impairment was identified based on expected credit losses.

As of December 31, 2025 (as in the previous year), cash and cash equivalents did not include any significant amounts over which the Group has restricted access as a result of foreign exchange controls.
