AL – After Leases
Since the start of the 2019 financial year, Deutsche Telekom has taken the effects of the first-time application of IFRS 16 “Leases” into account when determining financial performance indicators. “EBITDA after leases” (EBITDA AL) is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for depreciation of the right-of-use assets and for interest expenses on recognized lease liabilities. When determining “free cash flow after leases” (free cash flow AL), free cash flow is adjusted for the repayment of lease liabilities.
