Since 2014, the BVG has posted positive annual balance sheets for five years in a row. Last year, however, earnings at the BVG and the group as a whole were significantly below target, with annual net profit falling 59.5 million euros short of the forecast figure of 1.4 million euros. The group’s net income (-58.1 million euros) is thus 71.3 million euros down on the previous year’s figure of 13.2 million euros.
