(1) In 2022, the operating margin was negatively impacted by -40bp in each division and by -20bp at group level:

  • a. -20bp in each division, due to the reallocation of certain central costs to divisions, offset by symmetry by a 20bp decline in non-allocated expenses;
  • b. -20bp in each division and at group level, as the group expensed in 2022 the cost of configuring and customizing software used in Saas mode, in accordance with IFRIC’s April 2021 decision.
