1 Funds from operations (FFO) is GARDA’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations. It is determined by adjusting statutory profit (under AASB) for certain non-cash and other items. The Directors consider FFO to reflect the core earnings of GARDA, as it is used to make strategic decisions. FFO and distributions are presented on a fully diluted basis such that both include distributions paid on treasury securities and employee security plan securities. Prior period comparative FFO has been adjusted, to be consistent with treatment in the current period. A reconciliation of GARDA’s statutory profit to FFO is provided in the Directors’ Report included in the consolidated interim financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2020.
