The equity ratio divides total equity, including non-controlling interests, by total assets. Net debt is debt minus cash and short-term investments; a negative figure means cash exceeds debt. In years without separate goodwill, the table shows the sum of goodwill and intangible assets, because the data do not list goodwill separately there.
