Strong cash flow growth (+47% year-over-year to €962 million), supported by cost savings, reduced CapEx, and strategic deleveraging, lowering net debt to ~€6 billion.
Net loss of €2.1 billion in 2025 due to €1.8–1.85 billion in non-cash impairments and portfolio rationalization; no dividend proposed for the year.
Strategic focus on performance, portfolio transformation (notably the planned Interiors divestiture), and cultural change toward empowerment and accountability, with the IGNITE roadmap organizing the portfolio into Growth and Value clusters.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
