Comment

  • Solid Cash Flow performance in Q2 2022; Free Cash Flow adj. almost offsets decline from Q1
  • Decrease in Others due to adjustment of non-cash items, especially gain on disposal of international digital business activities(1) and partly release of stock option plan (one-off effects)
  • High investments particularly in digitization of advertising units in OoH Media segment
  • Bank leverage ratio(2) at 2.1 and thus better than PY despite dividend payment in Q2 2022 (PY: Q3)
