Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, segment EBITDA, segment EBITDA margin and free cash flow, designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with IFRS because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Please note that other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than ICL Group and that our definitions of these measures may differ from those used by other companies or such companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not superior to, financial measures provided in accordance with IFRS. Please refer to our Q3 2020 press release for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and the appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

We disclose in this Quarterly Report non-IFRS financial measures titled, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, segment EBITDA, segment EBITDA margin and free cash flow. Our management uses such non-GAAP measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and present free cash flow to facilitate a review of our cash flows. We calculate our adjusted operating income by adjusting our operating income to add certain items, as set forth above and in the reconciliation table "Adjustments to reported operating and net income". Certain of these items may recur. We calculate our adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders by adjusting our adjusted operating income, net income attributable to the Company's shareholders to add certain items, as set forth above and in the reconciliation table "Adjustments to reported operating and net income (Non-GAAP)" in the accompanying press release, excluding the total tax impact of such adjustments and adjustments attributable to the non-controlling interests. We calculate our adjusted EBITDA by adding back to the adjusted operating income the depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by weighted-average diluted number of ordinary shares outstanding as provided in the reconciliation table under "Calculation of Adjusted EPS". We calculate our segment EBITDA by adding back to our segment profit the depreciation and amortization for each segment. We calculate our segment EBITDA margin by dividing segment EBITDA by revenue. We calculate our free cash flow as our cash flows from operating activities net of our purchase of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, and adding Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and dividends from equity-accounted investees during such period as presented in the reconciliation table under "Calculation of free cash flow". You should not view adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, adjusted EPS or adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating income or net income attributable to the Company's shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS, adjusted EPS as a substitute for EPS or free cash flow as a substitute for, cash flows from operating activities and cash flows used in investing activities, and you should note that our definitions of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may differ from those used by other companies. However, we believe that such non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular for free cash flow, we adjust our Capex to include any Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment because we believe such amounts offset the impact of our purchase of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets. We further adjust free cash flow to add Dividends from equity-accounted investees because receipt of such dividends affects our residual cash flow. Free cash flow does not reflect adjustment for additional items that may impact our residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures, such as adjustments for charges relating to acquisitions, servicing debt obligations, changes in our deposit account balances that relate to our investing activities and other non-discretionary expenditures. Our management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate the Company's business strategies and management's performance. We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance. We present a discussion in the period-to-period comparisons of the primary drivers of changes in the company's results of operations. This discussion is based in part on management's best estimates of the impact of the main trends in its businesses. We have based the following discussion on our financial statements. You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements.
