This question will round to the nearest million and the comparison will be made with the Q4 2025 report.

@deagol Thank you for the addition, I shortcut it with this sentence:
'Cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, will be considered as cash', but you're right
