Correction to the unaudited figures in the Q4 2023 Financial Statement Release

The audited financial statements include a correction of insignificant nature amounting to EUR 1.1 million compared to the unaudited financial information published in the Financial Statement Release on 14 February 2024. The correction relates to a discount for 2023 recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in corresponding adjustments to net sales and profits in both Q4/2023 and in 2023. The impacts of this correction have been reflected in the audited Financial Statements in the attached Annual Report.
