Presentation Glossary

'Organic growth' – represents the revenue growth during the period, after removing the impact of acquisitions and divestures and foreign exchange translation. This provides a "like-for-like" comparison with the previous period in constantscope and constant currency.

'EBITDA' – presented as earnings before interest,taxation, depreciation and amortisation.

'Free cash flow' – represents the company's ability to generate free funds from its operating activities after its investments in fixed assets and repayments of lease liabilities. It is calculated as net cash flows from operating activities per the IFRS cash flow statement, adjusted for cash flows related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, proceedsfrom sale of property plant and equipment, lease principal payments and dividends paid on hybrid instruments.

'Net debt' – is defined as the Group'sinterest bearing loans and bonds and lease liabilities, after deduction of cash and cash equivalents.

'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 instrumentsin accordance with IAS 32 'Financial Instruments'.

'Invested capital' – Excludes financial assets at fair value, bank debt, cash and cash equivalents and tax balances. Invested capital is a measure of the operational net assets used to generate the results of the business, excluding financing, tax and cash-management activities.

'NOPAT' – Net operating profit after tax. This is operating profit after a normalised tax rate of 25%, before gains/losses on disposal of businesses excluding taxation directly attributable to disposal of businesses.

'ROIC' – Return On Invested Capital is a measure of performance which integrates both measures of profitability and measures of capital efficiency. This is calculated as trailing twelve month NOPAT divided by average Invested capital, as at the beginning and the end of the financial period.
