The 2023 values for activity 7.7 were restated for companies operating in Poland to reflect a more demanding classification for alignment, in line with that used in 2024.

**

The 2023 values relating to renovation works in companies operating in Portugal were reclassified to activity 7.3.

According to the Article 8 of the Delegated Act, the CapEx KPI is defined as eligible CapEx (numerator) divided by total CapEx (denominator). Total CapEx was calculated in accordance with the rules and principles applicable to the preparation of the financial statements, taking into account the increases in the gross value of tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, investment property (where applicable), biological assets (where applicable) and right-of-use, as presented in notes 8, 9 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The denominator corresponds to the sum of the “Increases” headings referred to in the notes indicated.

With regard to right-of-use assets, we believe that the Delegated Act fails to deal with increases in the gross value of right-of-use assets as a result of contractual amendments or other adjustments to lease liabilities, in particular extension of the lease term.

Accordingly, new measurements of right-of-use assets resulting from contractual amendments or other adjustments to liabilities were not included in the denominator, as presented under the heading “Amendments to Right-of-Use Contracts” in note 10.1.

Regarding the identification of eligible CapEx, our approach to the classification of economic activities was as follows:

  • CapEx of assets or processes associated with eligible activities was not included, since our core activity is not provided for under the current Taxonomy, and no investments in internal activities were identified that qualify as such.
  • CapEx related to CapEx plans, as currently defined in the Taxonomy, to expand aligned activities or that enable eligible activities to become taxonomy-aligned were not included.
  • includes CapEx of the purchase of goods and services from eligible economic activities that support our core business.

As a result of this approach, the activities indicated under “Eligibility analysis” were classified as eligible. As regards these activities, we analysed the investments for which we were provided with the necessary information by suppliers to identify whether their economic activity is taxonomy-aligned, including compliance with the DNSH criteria and minimum safeguards, as well as what we were able to assess directly.

CapEx - Capital expenditure
The funds a company invests in acquiring, upgrading and maintaining physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology and equipment. These investments are often made to fuel growth, increase efficiency or launch new initiatives.
Taxonomy
In the context of sustainable finances, the classification system identifying activities, assets, and/or project categories that deliver on key climate, green, social or sustainable objectives with reference to identified thresholds and/or targets.
