9M 2022/23 highlights
Free cash flow for 9M 2022/23 was an inflow of DKK 1,690 million compared
to an outflow of DKK 8,399 million in the same period last year. Excluding
acquisitions last year, the FCF decreased by DKK 544 million (24%) from DKK
2,234 million in 9M 2021/22, driven by a decline in cash flow from operating
activities
Adjusted for Mesh payments and the US Veteran Affairs matter³ payment, the
9M 2022/23 FCF was an inflow of DKK 2,167 million
Operating cash flow for 9M 2022/23 was DKK 2,345 million, against DKK 2,959
million last year, due to higher income tax paid, increased interest payments
due to the Atos Medical acquisition, and an increase in working capital, driven
by an increase in inventories
Reported EBIT before special items was DKK 35 million (1%) higher than
9M 2021/22
NWC-to-sales of 27% compared to 25% at year-end 2021/22, mostly
impacted by an increase in inventories. NWC-to-sales for the year is now
expected around 25% of revenue
CAPEX-to-sales ratio of 5%, compared to 4% last year
•
9M CAPEX was driven by investments in automation at volumes sites as
part of GOP5, IT investments, and Atos Medical capex and integration
