Capital Management<br />

The purpose of capital management is to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> equity <strong>in</strong> conformity with IFRS. The<br />

goal of the DOUGLAS Group’s capital management is to assure that the Group can cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />

to meet its f<strong>in</strong>ancial obligations and to susta<strong>in</strong> the bus<strong>in</strong>ess value on a long-term basis.<br />

Thus, the DOUGLAS Group aims at a Group equity ratio of more than 35 percent. The<br />

central control factor of the DOUGLAS Group is the DOUGLAS Value Added (DVA). This<br />

represents a control and management system <strong>in</strong> which all decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g processes are<br />

reviewed <strong>in</strong> terms of their susta<strong>in</strong>ed contribution to value and measured <strong>in</strong> terms of DVA.<br />

Further <strong>in</strong>formation about the current development of the DVA can be found <strong>in</strong> the Management<br />

<strong>Report</strong> on page 47-49.<br />

The aim of the DOUGLAS Group’s capital management strategy is to ensure that all<br />

the Group companies have appropriate equity accord<strong>in</strong>g to local needs, such that external<br />

capital requirements have always been met <strong>in</strong> the past fiscal year.<br />
