Non-IFRS financial measures / Alternative Performance Measures

  • The non-IFRS financial measures/APMs presented herein are not measurements of performance under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles and investors should not consider any such measures to be an alternative to: (a) operating revenues or operating profit (as determined in accordance with IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles), as a measure of the Groupʹs operating performance; or (b) any other measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The non-IFRS financial measures/APMs presented herein may not be indicative of the Groupʹs historical operating results, nor are such measures meant to be predictive of the Groupʹs future results.
  • The Company believes that the non-IFRS measures/APMs presented herein are commonly reported by companies in the markets in which it competes and are widely used by investors in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to factors such as depreciation, amortisation and impairment, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods (particularly when acquisitions have occurred), business practice or based on non-operating factors. Accordingly, the Group discloses the non-IFRS financial measures/APMs presented herein to permit a more complete and comprehensive analysis of its operating performance relative to other companies and across periods, and of the Groupʹs ability to service its debt. Because companies calculate the non-IFRS financial measures/APMs presented herein differently, the Groupʹs presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures/APMs may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
  • The non-IFRS financial measure/APMs are not part of the Companyʹs consolidated financial statements and are thereby not audited. The Company can give no assurance as to the correctness of such non-IFRS financial measures/APMs and investors are cautioned that such information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and are based on numerous assumptions. Given the aforementioned uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these non-IFRS financial measures/APMs.
