IFRS-16
One year after the first adoption of IFRS 16, the transitional phase during which Unieuro's financial reporting was based on adjusted data and in continuity with the previous accounting standard IAS 17 and the interpretations thereof has ended.
Therefore, in line with practices that were gradually established among retailers listed on international markets, from 1 st March 2020 the Company has been commenting only on the economic figures after the application of the above accounting standard, focusing on Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Profit.
On the other hand, net debt and cash flow do not include the notional component linked to the application of IFRS 16.

Notes and Glossary

All data contained in this press release are consolidated data. The scope of consolidation includes the Parent Company Unieuro S.p.A., the wholly-owned subsidiary Monclick S.r.l. (consolidated from 1 June 2017) and the wholly-owned subsidiary Carini Retail S.r.l. (consolidated from 1 March 2019 and finally merged into Unieuro S.p.A., effective as from 1 September 2020).
Economic and financial figures reflect the adoption of IFRS 16 accounting principle, unless otherwise indicated.
Growth of like-for-like Revenues is calculated by including: (i) Retail and Travel stores in operation for at least one full Fiscal Year at the end of the reference period, after taking into account stores affected by discontinued operations in a significant manner (e.g. temporary closures and major refurbishments) and (ii) the entire online channel.
Adjusted EBIT is EBIT adjusted for: (i) non-recurring expenses/(income), (ii) non-recurring depreciation, amortisation and write-downs, and (iii) the impact from the adjustment of revenues for extended warranty services net of related estimated future costs to provide the assistance service, as a result of the change in the business model for directly managed assistance services.
Adjusted Net Income is calculated as Net Income adjusted for (i) the adjustments incorporated in the Adjusted EBIT, (ii) the adjustments of the non-recurring financial expenses/(income) and (iii) the theoretical tax impact of these adjustments.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow generated/absorbed by operating activities net of investment activities inclusive of financial expenses and lease flows and adjusted for non-recurring investments and other non-recurring operating flows and including adjustments for non-recurring expenses (income) and their non-cash component and the related tax impact.
Net debt (cash), or Net financial position, is financial debt – not including Lease liabilities (IFRS 16) – net of cash and cash equivalents.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer experience and predicts business growth. It can range from -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to 100 (if every customer is a Promoter.
