“The Management evaluates annually the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, assessing the availability of cash, considering the financial situation, the forecasts of profitability and taking into account the future operating environment. Based on the elements that we have been able to gather, this analysis is carried out without material uncertainty. Our work has not led us to doubt the going concern assumption.”
