  1. * The comparative figures have been adjusted as a result of a change in accounting policies regarding the valuation of tangible fixed assets, a reclassification of the cash flows from deferred revenue and the adjustment of the FFO/Net Debt calculation.

  1. * Figures regarding the number of connections have been adjusted retrospectively - from 2020 - to be in line with the numbers in the Central Connection Register (Centraal AansluitRegister = C-AR).
  2. * This figure was restated in 2023: due to a miscalculation, some of the ‘switchers’ in 2022 were not included.
