The figures in this table are reported under Dutch Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. These same principles are also applied when preparing the financial reporting included in the Inter IKEA Holding B.V. Annual Report and the figures reconcile with figures reported through the Annual Report.

The country-by-country report above is based on the EU Directive for public country-by-country reporting (Directive (EU) 2021/2101). However, we made some small adaptations (e.g. allocated Pillar Two top-up taxes by source jurisdiction, added an assets column) that we feel provide better insight into our tax position in the individual jurisdictions. Access the EU Public Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) iXBRL format on this page.

Revenues

The Revenues column shows the total revenues for all Inter IKEA Group companies. This differs from the revenues reported in our annual report as it also includes the intercompany revenues from transactions with other Inter IKEA Group companies.

The main sources of revenues for each of the three core businesses are as follows:

  • Retail Concept mainly generates revenues from making parts of the IKEA Concept available (e.g. to IKEA franchisees for a franchise fee of 3% on net sales) and operating the IKEA Delft store, the Netherlands. These revenues are reported by Inter IKEA Systems B.V. in the Netherlands.
  • Range generates revenues from developing the IKEA range and IKEA products. These revenues are mainly reported by IKEA of Sweden AB in Sweden.
  • Supply generates revenues from the sale of IKEA products and components. These revenues are mainly reported by IKEA Supply AG in Switzerland.

Profit

The Profit column shows the sum of the result before income tax and is mainly concentrated in the jurisdictions where the leadership and central functions of the core businesses are located, which are the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

Assets

We have also included a column for assets in the country-by-country report to provide additional insight into our business activities in the individual jurisdictions.

The Assets column contains the book value of our assets at the end of FY26. This includes intangible, tangible and current assets, but excludes financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents.

The assets with the highest book value are:

  • IKEA brand: All intellectual property rights related to the IKEA brand are owned by Inter IKEA Systems B.V. in the Netherlands. Most activities of Inter IKEA Systems B.V. are centered around the protection and further development of the IKEA brand and the IKEA Concept.
  • Inventories: The main assets of the wholesale companies are the inventories of IKEA products. The vast majority of the inventories is directly owned by IKEA Supply AG based in Switzerland.

Employees

The Employees column shows the full-time equivalent (FTE) number of employees as an average for the financial year.

Accumulated earnings

The Accumulated earnings column includes the sum of the accumulated earnings of all Inter IKEA Group entities resident in the relevant jurisdiction.

Tax accrued and Tax paid

The columns Tax accrued and Tax paid include the total amount of corporate income tax (plus withholding taxes) accrued and paid in FY26:

  • Tax accrued reflects the current corporate income tax expense recorded for the taxable profit of FY26. This amount is different from the total tax expense reported in our annual report as it does not include deferred taxes or corrections for prior years.
  • Tax paid relates to corporate income tax payments made during FY26. This amount matches the tax paid in the cash flow statement of our annual report.

Production

The production activities relate to forestry, sawmills, board material, wood components and furniture.
