Appendices

EBIT (adj.)

EBIT (adj.) is operating profit or loss before other income and expenses (OIE). The main purpose of this performance measure is to identify material non-recurring items and items substantially relating to other periods to ensure that the changes in and comparability of the items presented in EBIT (adj.) are more relevant to the company.

Organic growth

Reported turnover growth adjusted for the effects of acquisitions and sales of companies and foreign currency, as follows: acquired companies are excluded 12 months after the transaction date. Divestments are pro forma excluded 12 months prior to the transaction date. Currency effects (from companies/businesses that report in a currency other than the presentation currency) are neutralised by recomputing this year's turnover at last year's currency exchange rates. The main purpose of this alternative performance measure (APM) is to show like-for-like growth in the business portfolio exclusive of acquired and sold companies in the last 12 months prior to the reporting date.

Underlying growth

Reported change adjusted for the effects of acquisitions and sales of companies and foreign currency, as follows: acquired companies are included after the transaction date and adjusted by also pro forma including the acquired companies in the 12 months prior to the transaction date. Divestments are pro forma excluded 12 months prior to the transaction date. Currency effects (from companies/businesses that report in a currency other than the presentation currency) are neutralised by recomputing this year's turnover at last year's currency exchange rates. The main purpose of this alternative performance measure (APM) is to show like-for-like growth for existing operations at the reporting date.

Structure/M&A (acquired and sold companies)

Structural growth includes adjustments for the acquisition of Agrimex, Struer, Riemann, HSNG, Orchard Valley, SR Food, Arne B. Corneliussen and various minor acquisitions in Orkla Food Ingredients, as well as an adjustment for the sale of K-Salat.

Targeted EBIT (adj.) growth
