Article content
- Constant currency year-on-year growth is defined as the annual growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of exchange rates movements. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates are excluded by translating all reported revenues during the two periods at average exchange rates in effect during the previous year.
- Core EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the following items that are deemed non-core: acquisition and disposal; integration and carve-out related income and expenses; onerous contracts; business disposal gains and losses; litigation related items as well as impairment of PPE and intangible assets. In addition, non-Core items include other income and expense items that management considers non-Core, as well as restructuring and reorganization items expected to accumulate within approximately a year to be over a 2 M USD threshold. Items that management considers non-Core may include, but are not limited to carve-out and build-up-related project costs as well as post-acquisition-related accounting impacts
- Core EPS is calculated as Core net income divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period.
- Core Net Income is defined as net income adjusted for the same items that are treated as exceptional for purposes of defining Core EBITDA, as well as amortization of intangible assets and foreign exchange gains and losses on financing activities. Taxes on the adjustments between IFRS net income and Core Net Income take into account, for each individual item included in the adjustment, the tax rate that will finally be applicable to the item based on the jurisdiction where the adjustment will finally have a tax impact.
- Leverage is defined as Total Net Indebtedness divided by Core EBITDA on a twelve-months rolling basis.
- H1 2025 adjustments include 4 M USD litigation, 6 M USD onerous items, 2 M USD M&A, 9 M USD impairments, 4 M USD restructuring, 13 M USD for operating FX losses. H1 2026 adjustments include 11 M USD litigation, 5 M USD restructuring, 2 M USD other items; offset by 9 M USD for operating FX gains.
- Indebtedness includes financial debt and lease liabilities.
- Includes assumptions for other income and expenses related to tangible asset impairments, ongoing litigation and onerous items, restructuring charges and others, excluding M&A fees and the impact from Operating Fx.
- On reported profit before tax.
- Includes a one-time, non-cash benefit from recognizing deferred tax assets on past tax losses
- Includes interest income and interest expense, excluding Fx impact.
- Factors in the simulation of all foreign exchange rate exposures, including for currencies not listed in the table of exchange rates for top FX impact.
