Presentation Glossary

  • 'Organic revenue' presents the revenue movement during the period, excluding impacts from acquisitions/(disposals) and foreign exchange translation.
  • 'Underlying EBITDA' presented as earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation; before impairment, disposal and restructuring-related costs.
  • 'Underlying EBITA' presented as earnings before interest, taxation and non-ERP related intangible amortisation; before impairment, disposal and restructuring-related costs.
  • 'ERP' Enterprise Resource Planning intangible assets include the Group SAP system.
  • 'Joint ventures underlying net profit' presented as profit from joint ventures, net of interest and tax, before non-ERP amortisation and the impact of associated non-recurring items.
  • 'Hybrid instrument' presented as Perpetual Callable Subordinated Instruments, which have no contractual maturity date and for which the Group controls the timing of settlement; therefore these instruments are accounted for as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32 'Financial Instruments'
  • 'Underlying net profit' presented as reported net profit, adjusted to include the Hybrid instrument dividend as a finance cost; before non-ERP related intangible amortisation; before RCF termination costs and before impairment, disposal and restructuringrelated costs, net of related income tax impacts. The Group utilises the underlying net profit measure to enable comparability of the results from period to period, without the impact of transactions that do not relate to the underlying business.
  • 'Segmental Net Assets' Excludes joint ventures, all bank debt, cash and cash equivalents and tax balances, with the exception of deferred tax liabilities associated with acquired goodwill and intangible assets, as those deferred tax liabilities represent a notional non-cash tax impact directly linked to segmental goodwill and intangible assets recorded as part of a business combination, rather than an actual cash tax obligation.
  • 'ROIC' Return On Invested Capital is calculated using a pro-forma trailing twelve month segmental Underlying EBITA ('TTM EBITA') reflecting the full twelve month contribution from acquisitions and full twelve month deductions from disposals, divided by the respective Segmental Net Assets, as of the end of each period.
