Strong finish for the year

In this report amounts and comments are based on segment reporting if not otherwise specified. The Group has different accounting principles in segment reporting compared to reporting according to IFRS for our own housing development projects and for IFRS 16 (previously operational leasing contracts). For more information on our accounting principles and the differences between segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS, see note 1 and 3. For information on alternative performance measures, see the section Alternative performance measures and definitions.
