In financial year 2023/24, METRO’s total assets increased by €0.1 billion to €11.7 billion (30/9/2023: €11.6 billion).
Factors contributing to the €0.3 billion rise in property, plant and equipment were primarily investments due to lease extensions and indexations.
The sale of the remaining shares in WM Holding (HK) Limited, and therefore METRO’s former business in China, contributed to the decrease in assets held for sale and other financial and other non-financial assets.
