*Gross sales and IFRS revenue from 2015 – 2021 were restated in 2022 to comply with an Agenda Decision from the IFRS Interpretation Committee released in April 2022. The Agenda Decision has no impact on reported Gross and Net Profit, Balance Sheet, or the Cash Flow statement. For more information see Accounting Policy Change (2022).
