3.1 Capital management

Capital management has the following objectives:

In response to ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties, including trade tariffs and geopolitical conflicts such as the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, dormakaba continues to maintain a strong focus on liquidity and net working capital management. This includes stringent credit management, disciplined collection of trade receivables, and careful cash conversion to effectively mitigate risks. Daily monitoring of liquidity and financial debt status at Group level, including oversight of financial covenants and undrawn credit facilities, remains a key priority. Alongside these cash management efforts, dormakaba also conducts regular reviews of safety stocks to ensure supply capabilities amidst ongoing supply chain challenges, further reinforcing the companyʼs financial stability.
