WE ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO HEALTHCARE
Since financial year 2020, CompuGroup Medical has been reporting adjusted key figures for operating income (EBITDA) and earnings per share. These key performance indicators are not defined under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should thus be regarded as supplementary information. The adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share do not include effects from the acquisition and disposal of major subsidiaries, business units and investments (including effects from the subsequent measurement of contingent purchase price liabilities), write-downs and write-ups on investments, restructuring expenses, effects from the acquisition, disposal and construction of real estate, write-downs and write-ups on owner-occupied real estate, expenses in connection with share-based compensation programs for the Managing Directors, taxes attributable to the above effects and other non-operating effects or one-off effects referring to other periods.
Unless stated otherwise, all information and explanatory notes in this report refer to the first three months of 2025 and 2024, i.e. the three-month period from January 1 to March 31, and all percentage changes refer to the respective year-on-year comparison. Due to rounding, totals and percentages presented in this report may not add up precisely to the totals provided.
