The GD tower companies had been recognized in the interim consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation from the third quarter of 2022 until their sale on February 1, 2023. In the prior-year periods, the consolidated statement of cash flows included the discontinued operation in the Group Development operating segment. The top line of the consolidated statement of cash flows is profit before income taxes, which in the prior-year periods included the profit of both the continuing operations and the discontinued operation. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, the contributions by the GD tower companies are each stated in a separate “of which” line item.
