INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including "adjusted operating profit," "adjusted operating profit margin," "adjusted profit before tax," "adjusted EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA margin," "adjusted EPS," "EBITDA," "EBITDA margin," "return on investment," "free cash flow," "net debt," and "net leverage".
These financial measures are not defined or recognized under GAAP and are presented because we believe that these measures provide both management and users of our consolidated financial statements with useful additional information when evaluating its operating and financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Consequently, the methodology used for their calculation may not be consistent with that adopted by other companies and, therefore, the non-GAAP measures presented in this presentation may not be comparable with those of other companies. For the definitions of these terms, additional information about management's use of these measures as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the appendix that accompanies this presentation.

Difference in adjusted EBITDA driven principally by the difference in the treatment of lease costs under GAAP compared with IFRS, resulting in higher SG&A amounts as operating lease costs are recognized as a single charge in operating expenses under GAAP
Difference in adjusted profit before tax driven principally through stock-based compensation charges being excluded from adjusted measures under GAAP; in addition, some differences arise in operating lease charges between IFRS and GAAP
Adjusted EPS impacted by the effect of the adjustments noted above, offset by
the tax effect of those adjustments
Free cash flow primarily affected by the classification of operating lease payments, which are captured in full within free cash flow under GAAP, in addition, under IFRS Free Cash Flow excluded the effects of non-recurring costs
