Conclusion | Marco Santos (Global CEO)
GFT has changed the calculation method of the EBIT adjusted from FY 2025 onwards in line with the practice of peer companies. Previous year's figures per quarter are recalculated accordingly. The new calculation of the EBIT adjusted is as follows:
EBIT
EBIT adjusted reflects the Group's operating performance by excluding extraordinary effects, such as share price-based effects from the measurement of remuneration agreements, personnel capacity adjustments, impacts from business combinations, and other items outside the ordinary course of business. Effects from business combinations primarily include the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired through corporate transactions or separately acquired intellectual property, acquisition-related compensation to employees or selling shareholders, and transaction or integration costs impacting earnings. Gains/losses from the disposal of shareholdings are also included.
