[1] Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under IFRS. We
apply adjusted EBITDA to exclude the effects of certain exceptional charges that
we believe are not indicative of our underlying operating performance. Such
adjustments relate primarily to substantial one-off restructurings, costs
relating to acquisitions or disposals, refinancing and IPO relating costs.
[2] Adjusted EPS has been calculated based upon adjusted net profit, which
excludes the costs related to the IPO, exceptional financing costs,
restructuring costs and relating tax effect. The number of issued shares has
been determined on 81.2 million for Q2 and Q3 2015. For Q1 2015 this number was
determined on a pro forma basis of 74.3 million shares. YTD 2015 the number of
shares was determined on a pro forma basis of 79.0 million. For all calculations
in 2014 the number of shares has been determined on a pro forma basis of 74.3
million.
