(1) In 2011, income before tax, employee profit-sharing, depreciation, amortization and charges to provisions was negative because it reflected a non-recurring charge of €83,666 thousand for internal corporate restructuring. This charge was offset by the reversal of a provision for an equivalent amount, which is not included in the calculation of this income or earnings per share.

⁽²⁾ Net income after tax and employee profit-sharing, but before depreciation, amortization and provisions was negative in 2009 because it reflects an exceptional charge linked to the disposal of the automobile division. This charge was offset by the reversal of a provision, which is not included in the calculation of this ratio.
