Anora Group Plc was formed when the merger of Altia and Arcus was completed on 1 September 2021. Arcus has been consolidated to Anora as of 1 September 2021. After the merger, Anora designed a new operating model for the Group that enables Anora to build on its strong platform in the Nordics, expand to international markets and drive productivity. As of 1 January 2022, Anora's new reportable segments are: Wine, Spirits and Industrial.
To illustrate the effects of the merger of Altia and Arcus on segment level information, and to facilitate the comparability of Anora's segment level financial information, Anora presents the following unaudited pro forma segment financial information ("pro forma") for the year 2021. The pro forma segment information is presented for illustrative purposes only and addresses a hypothetical situation as if the merger of Altia and Arcus had been completed on 1 January 2019 similarly to the pro forma financial information published earlier for Anora. Therefore, it is not necessarily indicative of what Anora's historical financial performance on segment level actually would have been had the merger been completed as of the date indicated and does not purport to project the operating results of Anora as of any future date. The pro forma segment information assumes the new segment reporting structure of Anora as of 1 January 2022 would have been effective in year 2021. The pro forma segment information is based on the new reporting structure adjusted with the impacts of the merger.

The pro forma segment information is based on the new reporting structure adjusted with the impacts of the merger. Anora's new reporting segments according to the new operating model are Wine, Spirits and Industrial.
The pro forma segment information has been compiled on a basis consistent with Anora's group level pro forma information published on 18 November 2021 for the full-year 2019, 2020 and H1 2021 including the basis of preparation of pro forma information, and for Q3 2021 and Q4 2021 in connection with respective quarterly reports which all are available on www.anora.com/investors.
The Board of Directors of Anora has been determined as the group's chief operative decision maker being responsible for allocating resources, deciding on strategy and assessing performance of the operating segments. The reportable segments are based on Anora's operating structure and internal reporting to the CODM used to assess the performance of the segments. For internal reporting purposes, the reporting on the segment result is based on internal measures of gross profit and comparable EBITDA which have been derived as follows:
Anora defines gross profit as total net sales and total other operating income deducted by materials and services and gross margin as gross profit divided by total net sales. Anora defines comparable EBITDA as operating result before depreciation and amortization and impairment excluding items affecting comparability and comparable EBITDA margin as comparable EBITDA divided by total net sales. Items affecting comparability consist of material items outside normal business, such as net gains or losses from business and assets disposals, impairment losses, cost for closure of business operations and restructurings, major corporate projects including direct transaction costs related to business acquisitions and the merger, merger related integration costs, expenses arising from the fair valuation of inventories in connection with merger, voluntary pension plan change, and costs related to other corporate development projects.
The merger adjustments included in the pro forma information comprise of the following. Net sales and expenses recorded historically related to certain brands of Altia and Arcus that have been
divested in line with the competition authorities' requirements have been eliminated in the pro forma income statements. The elimination impacts the results of Spirits segment. As the divestments of brands of Altia did not qualify for discontinued operations under IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, historical financial statement information of Anora Group includes the impact of such brands. In addition, the pro forma segment information reflects the elimination of historically recorded merger related transaction costs, management remuneration and fair value adjustment to inventories, as these expenses are assumed to have been incurred in 2019 in accordance with Anora's group level pro forma information. The impact of these eliminations is reflected in Group and allocations, except for the elimination of management remuneration which is reflected in the results of the segments.
All amounts in the pro forma segment information are presented in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. The figures have been rounded, and therefore the sum of individual figures may deviate from the total presented for a column or row.
For additional information on the historical financial information of Anora as well as Altia and Arcus, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited interim financial information of Anora as well as Altia and Arcus available on Anora's website www.anora.com/en/investors.
