  • The IFRS operating result of EUR 681 million was lower than in the second half of 2022, reflecting one-time benefits in 2022 that did not recur in 2023, as well as the impact of announced management actions in 2023.
  • The contrasting trend in our IFRS results compared to our OCG results is caused by differences in the timing of recognition of earnings between the two frameworks.
