Underlying earnings per share[10] from continuing operations were down -4.7% at €8.02. Higher depreciation and amortization charges and the slightly lower EBITDA were mitigated by lower net financial charges, following the repayment of higher interest-yielding debt in June 2018 and May 2019. Total underlying earnings per share in the full year was modestly down thanks to a higher contribution from the discontinued polyamide operations.
