In financial year 2021/22, METRO’s total assets remained at previous year’s level of €12.9 billion (30/9/2021: €12.8 billion).

There was a decrease of €0.3 billion in non-current assets to €7.7 billion in financial year 2021/22 (30/9/2021: €8.0 billion), which is mainly attributable to the reclassification of investments accounted for using the equity method to current assets due to the intention to sell.
