Reconciliation Q1/18
Consolidated results for Q1/2018 include special items related to the Akorn transaction. These are mainly transaction costs in the form of legal and consulting fees as well as costs of the financing commitment for the Akorn transaction. Moreover special items arose from the announced divestiture of Sound Physicians due to the initial increase in valuation of the Sound Physicians' share based payment program. The following presentation shows the corresponding reconciliation to the IFRS values. There were no special items in Q1/2017.
