Cash flows before mergers and acquisitions and customer financing are around 3.5 billion Euros in 2022.
Airbus recorded net profits of 1.58 billion euros in the fourth quarter compared to 1.55 billion euros in the same period last year.
Revenue fell 14% to 16.99 billion euros, due to fewer aircraft deliveries as well as lower revenues from the helicopter and defense unit.
Adjusted EBIT decreased by 18% to 1.5 billion Euros. The company announced that it will propose a dividend of 1.5 euros per share for 2021.
