These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA cover the six months ended June 30, 2021 (unaudited). They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2020 (audited).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 23, 2021.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (audited), except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2021.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR).
In particular, the amendments include a practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest, as well as a relief from discontinuing hedging relationships, allowing changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk to reference an RFR and redefining the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged items to reflect the RFR.
The amendments are mandatory and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, with earlier application permitted.
Since the Group's current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities (including goodwill) are translated at the closing rate. Income and expenses are translated at the rate of the transaction date (historical rate) or at an average rate for the month.
The principal exchange rates used for conversion to EUR are as follows:

The 6 months period ending June 30, 2021 remained mixed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has significantly delayed the execution of some of our projects. The challenges experienced in 2020 remained in the first half of 2021 however considerable resilience was shown across all of the business lines. As a global business, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown restrictions particularly impacted the signing and installation of new contracts. The following elements related to the pandemic significantly impacted the Company:
➢ There was no major impact on customer services as all active proton therapy centers remain fully operational and continue to treat patients
➢ Manufacturing and supply chain remained fully operational and in constant contact with IBA's global network of key suppliers and manufacturing partners, identifying potential risks in time and taking appropriate measures to ensure minimal disruption to production and delivery
All of the above was partially compensated by continuing lower level of travel both on equipment and service contracts and in SG&A.
The analysis of the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on IBA's financial position and cash-flow is summarized below:
1.3.1 Liquidity
Despite the difficult situation induced by the pandemic, thanks to a cost saving program launched early into the pandemic, prudent investments and spending, resilient customers and a close follow-up of its balance sheet positions, IBA has been able to maintain a good cash position and remains net cash positive as at June 30, 2021 (unaudited).
IBA has credit lines available from its financing institutions worth EUR 37 million that are not drawn down and was not in breach of its bank covenants at June 30, 2021 (unaudited)
The Company had performed an impairment test of goodwill as at December 31, 2020 (audited), which led to no impairment being necessary as of December 31, 2020 (audited). Despite the uncertainty in the business outlook generated by the pandemic the business of the group remained in line with 2020 and the activities of the CGU Dosimetry (which the goodwill relate to) remained profitable during the first half of the year ending June 30, 2021 (unaudited). On that basis, the Group concluded that the pandemic did not represent an indicator of impairment on the goodwill ; it will perform a more detailed analysis as at December 31, 2021.
1.3.3 Tangible and intangible assets, Other Investments and Other Long-Term Financial Assets
IBA has assessed that the COVID-19 situation has not led to any indication of impairment of assets and therefore concluded that none of the impairment indicators in IAS 36 have been triggered.
As of June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the recoverability of deferred tax assets has been assessed based on the latest information available and resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This has not led to any impairment of deferred tax assets related to losses carried forward.
The Company has maintained its hedge accounting policies as defined in the 2020 year-end financial statements. As IBA has not identified any trigger for hedge disqualification due to COVID-19, the financial result has not been impacted as at June 30, 2021 (unaudited). The company will continue to review its positions going forward to identify any potential new trigger for hedge disqualification.
The Company has also considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the expected credit loss of its financial instruments (mainly loans, trade and other receivables (short-term and long-term)). The amount and timing of the expected credit losses, as well as the probability assigned thereto, has been based on the available information at the end of the first half-year 2021. As a result of this review no significant additional credit losses have been recorded in the first half-year 2021.
IBA Group consists of IBA S.A. and a total of 25 companies and associated companies in 15 countries. Of these, 22 are fully consolidated and 3 are accounted for using the equity method.

2.3.1 ACQUISITIONS OF COMPANIES
There were no acquisitions during the first 6 months of 2021.
There was no disposal during the first 6 months of 2021. The escrow account for the sale of Radiomed (2019) was released in June 2021 for EUR 1.3 million.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. We present below estimates and assumptions that could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets on unused losses carried forward to the extent that the taxable profit against which these assets are available can be used. The amounts recognized in the financial position are prudent estimates made on the basis of recent financial plans approved by the Board of Directors and depend on certain judgments with respect to the amounts and location of the future taxable profits of the Group's subsidiaries and parent company.
As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the Group had accumulated net operating losses of EUR 148.3 million usable to offset future profits taxable mainly in Belgium Germany and Russia. The Company recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.3 million with the view to use these tax losses carried forward.
The temporary differences for EUR 48.1 million mainly originate in the United States, Belgium, China, Germany and Singapore. The temporary differences recognised as gross deferred tax assets amount to EUR 3.3 million and as gross deferred tax liabilities amount to EUR -4.2 million.
The negative result of the Group in June 30, 2021 (unaudited) does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan of German entities which remained in profit for the period. A net deferred tax asset of EUR 4.2 million is recognized on these entities on usable tax losses carried forward and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger the reassessment of the deferred tax assets.
IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers.
The Group is in the business of providing equipment and installation (reported as "Sales"), and operation and maintenance services (reported as "Services"). In applying IFRS 15, IBA makes the following significant judgements and estimates.
As indicated in the accounting policies section, IBA assessed that its commitment under the equipment and the installation service is to transfer a combined item to which the equipment and the installation are inputs but these elements do not represent separate performance obligations.
(ii) Estimating the progress under the equipment and installation services contract
The Group recognises revenue over time under such contracts and the progress is measured by reference to the costs incurred when comparing it to the costs to complete. The costs to complete is a significant estimate because it determines the progress made since the inception of the contract and IBA recognises the revenue of the contract based on the progress estimated in percentage.
(iii) Performance obligations in the licencing contract with CGN and the performance bond
In August 2020, the group signed a technology license agreement with CGN Dasheng Electron Accelerator Technology Co., Ltd for the provision of goods and services related to its Multi-Room Proton Therapy System. The contract applies to the mainland territory of the People's Republic of China. The agreement includes the sale of a license, the supply of proton therapy equipment and the provision of relevant support and training for a total value of EUR 100 million. Under IFRS 15, Management determined that the contract has 3 performance obligations:
Given the contract contains an element of variable consideration in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable performance bond the customer can draw upon for a maximum value of EUR 15 million, management decided not to recognize the full revenue of the license, given the level of uncertainty linked to this type of sale (unique in its kind for IBA). Instead, the amount of variable consideration that is highly susceptible to factors outside the entity's influence is recognized as a refund liability until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, which is likely to occur at the expiration date of the bond. The bond will expire at the earliest of the shipment of the equipment components or 48 months from the effective date of the agreement (August 25, 2024)
When management considers that there is a risk of impairment, the recoverable amounts of tangible and intangible fixed assets are determined on a "value in use" basis. Value in use is determined on the basis of cash-flows coming from IBA's most recent business plans, as approved by the Board of Directors. These plans incorporate various assumptions made by management and approved by the Board as to how the business, profit margins, and investments will evolve.
The loss of the current period does not significantly affect the existing revised budgeted plan and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger an impairment test as of June 30, 2021 (unaudited).
In 2015, the Company initiated an analysis on the Group exposure in countries other than Belgium to be potentially obliged to pay certain local taxes whereas the payment of those taxes has been transferred to the Group's customers. Exposure identified as of December 31, 2015, was reduced as a result of further investigation performed in 2016 and 2017. Based on the data available, it is still not possible to make a reliable estimate of the remaining exposure and therefore no provision has been accrued for in the Group financial statements.
The Group determines the lease term as the noncancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary's functional currency).
The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating).
The assets and liabilities of the Group are valued as follows:

At December 31, 2020 (audited) and June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the net carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities did not differ significantly from their fair value.
The headings "Hedging derivative products" and "Derivative products – other" in assets and liabilities include the fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency swaps.
The Group may acquire non-controlling interests in other companies, depending on the evolution of its strategy. Equity investments included in ''Other investments'' relate primarily to Rutherford Estates Limited (previously Proton Partners International (PPI)), value at fair value level 1, for which a gain of EUR 0.6 million has been recorded in the other comprehensive income, and HIL Applied Medical Ltd valued at fair value at Level 2).
Fair value is the price that would be received (to sell an asset) or paid (to transfer a liability) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In conformity with IFRS 9 all derivatives are recognized at fair value in the financial position.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is either the quoted market price or is calculated using pricing models taking into account current market rates. Fair values of hedging instruments are determined by valuation techniques widely used in financial markets and are provided by reliable financial information sources. Fair values are based on the trade dates of the underlying transactions.
The fair value of these instruments generally reflects the estimated amount that IBA would receive on the settlement of favorable contracts or be required to pay to terminate unfavorable contracts at the balance sheet date, and thereby takes into account any unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.
As required by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement, the following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
➢ Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
During the 6 first months of the year, there was no transfer between the various categories for the financial instruments existing as of June 30, 2021 (unaudited).
New financial instruments were acquired and are classified in level 2.

As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), no significant credit losses have been recorded by the Group on its financial instruments (mainly loans, trade and other receivables (short-term and long-term)). The amount and timing of the expected credit losses, as well as the probability assigned thereto, has been based on the available information at the end of the first half-year 2021.
IBA identified its Management Team as its CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) because this is the committee that decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance of the components of the Group.
On the basis of its internal financial reports to the Board of Directors and given the Group's primary source of risk and profitability, IBA has identified two levels of operating information:
The operating segments are defined based on the information provided to the Management Team. On the basis of its internal financial reports and given the Group's primary source of risk and profitability, IBA has identified two operating segments. In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating segments, the business segments on which segment information is based are (1) Proton therapy and other accelerators and (2) Dosimetry.
Distinct financial information is available for these reporting segments and is used by the Management Team to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
The segment results, assets and liabilities include the items directly related to a segment, as well as those that may be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The segment investment expenses include the total cost of investments incurred during the period of acquisition of tangible and intangible assets investments, except goodwill.

As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the Group recognised revenue for EUR 137.2 million, representing an increase of 25% from 2020 (EUR 109.7 million).
As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the group's gross margin improved slightly compared to the same period last year, despite the effects of the pandemic.
The revenue and gross margin for the two operating segments are detailed in the table above and can be explained as follow:
As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the Group had incurred operating expenses for EUR 44.4 million which show a decrease of -1% compared to 2020. These expenses include General and Administrative expenses for EUR 19.6 million, Sales and Marketing expenses for EUR 9.5 million and Research and Development net of research credit for EUR 15.3 million. The slight
decrease evidences the cost control measures taken during the pandemic whilst absorbing inflation and maintaining strategic R&D on both operating segments to ensure IBA's technological leadership in all business lines.
As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the other operating result (expenses) was EUR -0.4 million in line with the prior year and primarily composed of the costs of the two stock options plans the Group recently issued.
As at June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the financial result (expenses) was EUR -0.4 million (2020: EUR -0.7 million), primarily composed of:
As at June 30, 2020, the share of the loss of equityaccounted entities included costs from IBA's partial ownership of Normandy Hadrontherapy.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has only one category of potential dilutive ordinary shares: stock options issued in 2014 and 2015.
The calculation is performed for the stock options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the stock options.

IBA's business is not subject to any seasonal or cyclical effect.

The provisions for warranties have decreased as the utilisations (EUR 0.9 million) and reversals (EUR 0.2 million) in relation to Proton therapy and other accelerators were higher than the additional provisions made during the period (EUR 0.7 million).
The contract with CGN, explained in detail in the Group consolidated financial statements for 2020, contains an element of variable consideration in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable performance bond linked to the execution of certain contractual obligations related to the transfer of the license. The customer can draw upon this bond for a maximum value of EUR 15 million. Considering the facts and circumstances of the agreement, IBA's management is of the view that uncertainty associated with the exercise of the performance bond by the customer constitutes a constraint on the recognition of the variable
The other provisions mainly include loss making contracts. Increases to future planned costs in a European contract led to an increase in the provision as included in the EUR 1.2 million increase above.

Accordingly, the amount of consideration subject to the performance bond (EUR 15 million) was recognized as a refund liability until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, this is until this bond has expired. The bond will expire at the earliest of the shipment of the equipment components or 48 months from the effective date of the agreement (August 25, 2024).

IBA remains the global market leader in proton therapy and has continued to capitalize on its strong presence across the regions in which it operates whilst continuing to focus on the penetration of new markets as proton therapy is more widely adopted worldwide.
The Asia-Pacific region remains a core strategic growth area, particularly China. In the first half of the year a major contract was secured for a five-room Proteus®PLUS solution in China and the down payment was received post period end. IBA also continues to make solid progress elsewhere in Asia with upcoming tenders and active discussions ongoing.
There has been a resurgence in PT activity in the US and IBA has taken further steps to reinforce its presence in the region. In April IBA signed a term sheet for a Proteus ®ONE solution in Florida and contract negotiations are currently ongoing. In addition, IBA is participating in several public and private tenders currently ongoing in the region.
The Services component of our PT business is an important part of our revenue stream and a key focus for us has been on improving its contribution as a recurring element. We are also focused on continuously improving our installed base, driving further operational efficiency.
Sustainable investment in future innovative technologies is a key priority and we continue to make progress with technologies that we believe are critical to the future of PT. In June we announced the initiation of a global DynamicARC® Consortium, in collaboration with leading clinical centers. DynamicARC® proton therapy offers a more targeted approach compared to photon-based techniques and innovations such as this have the potential to improve the treatment options of patients, whilst reducing side effects. Our focus in the short-term is being able to offer DynamicARC® to new and existing customers as a more efficient and simple way to deliver PT.
IBA remains committed to exploring and developing paradigm shifting technologies like FLASH Therapy. In June, at the PTCOG Congress, IBA introduced ConformalFLASH®2 , a novel method to deliver FLASH Therapy while keeping the benefits of the Proton Bragg Peak properties. IBA works with key knowledge leaders, who explore and demonstrate the science that will allow clinical adoption in the future. FLASH Research on IBA's systems at Penn's Roberts Proton Therapy Center was recently recognized by a Best in Physics award by the American Association for Physics in Medicine (AAPM)3 .
In August, IBA announced that it had joined a European Union consortium of 19 industry and academic partners to validate a model-based approach for the use of proton therapy treatment in esophageal and cancer more broadly. The "ProtectTrial" will enrol approximately 400 patients and be carried out at six of the twelve proton therapy centers involved.
Momentum in Other Accelerators has continued from 2020 with 14 new sales and solid backlog conversion resulting in equipment revenue increasing to EUR 30.1 million. The sales have been made on a global scale expanding into several new geographies, with China remaining a major market and sales in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. IBA secured two additional contracts post-period and the pipeline remains strong, demonstrating IBA's clear leadership in all segments of this business line. 13 new installations started during the period and close to 20 systems are also expected to be delivered to customers this year, across the Radiopharma and Industrial businesses, with strong backlog conversion expected to continue into the second half.
IBA's leading RadioPharma business develops integrated equipment and service solutions for the production of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging and therapy in oncology, neurology and cardiology. The nuclear medicine market has shown constant growth, increasing by nearly 6% per year over the last seven years4 , and diagnostics and therapeutic applications in the medical world that use IBA equipment continue to increase.
IBA recently launched its new high energy and highcapacity cyclotron, the Cyclone® IKON, which offers the largest energy spectrum for PET and SPECT isotopes and enhanced availability of theranostic radiopharmaceuticals. Theranostics has evolved rapidly in recent years, combining diagnosis and targeted radiotherapy and offering an important alternative in the treatment of many cancers. The

market for this treatment modality is rapidly growing and represents a significant opportunity for IBA.
In March IBA announced an expanded collaboration with NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes to increase global availability of technetium-99m (Tc-99m), the most widely used medical radioisotope for diagnostics in the world.
IBA Industrial provides leading industrial solutions to the ion beam sterilization industry. Our Rhodotron® solution continues to create strong interest in the global market, offering a cleaner alternative to cobalt and ethylene oxide for sterilization, bringing a new perspective to sterilization processes. IBA's new generation Rhodotron® TT1000 enables the production of X-rays to sterilize in much larger volumes, in particular for medical devices.

IBA is firmly committed to impactful environmental, social and governance goals. The Group's first major step towards a new sustainable stakeholder approach began this year with the Company receiving B Corp certification in June. IBA has joined a community of around 4,000 companies globally that believe in companies being a "force for good", transforming businesses to contribute to a more sustainable economy.
IBA's B Corp status marks a starting point for the Group which will be driven by a strong ethical culture, underlined by a commitment to contribute, in a transparent manner, to the development of an inclusive and sustainable economy. In terms of specific ESG criteria, IBA aims to be carbon neutral by 2030 and will invest in future technologies and products that will further improve sustainability. Alongside this, IBA will continue to make a significant impact in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders whilst providing a safe, equitable and rewarding work environment for employees.
Group revenue in the year was EUR 137.2 million, a 25% increase from HY 2020, largely driven by increased activity versus the same period last year, despite the effects of the pandemic continuing into 2021. Order intake has been good in all businesses in 2021 and backlog conversion has started to recover, converting orders to revenue.
Gross margin in absolute value as well as a percentage of sales improved, rising to EUR 45.1 million in H1 2021 (H1 2020: EUR 34.9 million), driven by product mix, cost strategy deployment and stringent cost management. Operating expenses remained stable, beating inflation as cost containment measures were maintained over H1 2021.
The recurring operating profit before interest and taxes (REBIT) line increased substantially to EUR 0.7 million from a loss of EUR 9.9 million, as a result of the increase in group revenue and margin improvement.
Other operating income of EUR 0.4 million was mainly impacted by costs related to share-based payment plans for employees. The net financial result of EUR 0.4 million predominantly included interest on credit lines and foreign exchange fluctuations compensated by interest accrued on a long-term customer receivable in Proton Therapy. Taxes were impacted by current tax credits in certain countries
As a result of the above, IBA reported a net loss of EUR 1.9 million compared with a net loss of EUR 12.0 million for H1 2020.
Operating cash flow in H1 2021 was EUR 13.9 million driven by close management of working capital and continuing payment from customers, as backlog conversion progressed.
Cash flow used in investing activities was EUR 0.2 million, the reduction was due to lower capex investments to maintain ongoing projects in comparison to last year and the release of a deferred payment following the final completion of the sale of Radiomed.
Cash flow used in financing activities was EUR 22.7 million, which included the dividend paid on 2020 results, repayments on bank borrowings and the acquisition of treasury shares.
The balance sheet significantly strengthened again, with a net cash position at H1 2021 of EUR 68.5 million compared with EUR 65.2 million at the end of 2020. As
Despite the ongoing challenges associated with the global pandemic there has been an encouraging increase in activity, alongside a continued resilience across all business lines and we have continued to perform solidly across the board.
Whilst some slowdown remains in certain regions as a result of ongoing restrictions, the revival of activity is promising, particularly in the key market of the US. We are also encouraged by increasing activity in emerging markets.
IBA's exceptionally strong cash position will enable us to continue to invest in the technologies of the future, whilst seeking value-enhancing business development opportunities.
The overall situation with regards to the pandemic remains complex and IBA continues to be unable to provide reliable guidance. IBA remains confident for global prospects in the second half of the year and beyond, underpinned by the high backlog and healthy pipeline. The Group is firmly committed to its stakeholder approach, remaining the leader in all of its markets, to drive sustainable profitable growth.

On the occasion of the 2021 Annual General Meeting, the following mandates were renewed at the level of the management of the Company:
| GROSS PROFIT | |
|---|---|
| Definition: | Gross profit is the difference of the aggregate amount recognized on "Sales" and "Services" after deducting the costs associated with the construction and production of the associated equipment and incurred in connection with the provision of the operation and maintenance services. |
| Reason: | Gross profit indicates IBA's performance by showing how it is able to generate revenue from the expenses incurred in the construction, operation and maintenance of dosimetry, proton-therapy and other accelerators. |
| EBIT | |
| Definition: | Earning before interests and taxes (''EBIT'') shows the performance of the group (or segment) before financial income/expenses and taxes. It shows all operating income and expenses incurred during the period. |
| Reason: | EBIT is a useful performance indicator as it shows IBA's operational performance of the period by eliminating the impact of the financial transactions and taxes. |
| REBIT | |
| Definition: | Recurring earning before interests and taxes (''REBIT'') shows the result of the group (or segment) before financial income/expenses and taxes and before the other operating income and other operating expenses. REBIT is an indicator of a company's profitability of the ordinary activities of the group, adjusted with the items considered by the management to not be part of the underlying performance. |
| Reason: | Management considers REBIT as an improved performance indicator for the group allowing year-on year comparison of the profitability, as cleaned up with transactions not considered part of the underlying performance. |
| NET FINANCIAL DEBT | |
| Definition: | The net financial debt measures the overall debt situation of IBA. |
| Reason: | Net financial debt provides an indication of the overall financial position strength of the Group and measures IBA's cash position. |
