Financial performance measures not defined under IFRS

The company presents certain financial performance measures that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes these measures provide valuable supplementary information to investors and company management for several reasons, including that they facilitate evaluation of the company's performance. For example, the key figure of EBITDA is reported because it illustrates the company’s underlying results of operations without the effects of depreciation and amortisation, thus providing a more comparable performance measure because depreciation and amortisation refer to historical investments. The company has also chosen to report the key figure of Adjusted EBITDA/EBIT to show underlying results of operations excluding non-recurring items, such as capital gains or losses, IPO costs as well as acquisition, restructuring and integration costs. As all companies do not calculate financial performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to the performance measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should therefore not be considered substitutes for performance measures defined under IFRS.
