Glossary
BPO (Business Process Outsourcing): BPO is the contracting of non-core business activities and functions to a third-party provider. Business model transformation: Corporate and others: This division encompasses the activities the Group performs as the parent company of a listed entity, as well as the support it provides to the three operating divisions. Operating margin: Operating margin is defined as the ratio of Operating Income on revenue. Recurring Operating margin: Recurring Operating margin is defined as the ratio of Recurring Operating income on revenue. EPS: Earnings Per Share is a specific financial indicator defined by the Group as the net profit (loss) for the period divided by the weighted average of the number of shares in circulation. External growth: External growth covers acquisitions during the current fiscal year, as well as those which have had a partial impact on the previous fiscal year, net of sales of entities and/or assets. Free cash flow: Free cash flow is cash generated, net of the cash part of the following items: (i) changes in working capital requirements, (ii) transactions on equity (changes in capital, dividends paid and received), (iii) capital expenditure net of transfers, (iv) net financial interest paid and (v) taxes paid. | Internal growth: Internal growth covers growth resulting from the development of an existing contract, particularly due to an increase in rates and/or the volumes distributed or processed, new contracts, acquisitions of assets allocated to a contract or a specific project. Life-for-like data (L-f-l): At constant scope and exchange rates. Net cash: Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalent minus overdraft. Operating expenses: Operating expenses is defined as purchases used, external expenses and payroll costs. Current operating income: The Group’s operating income includes all revenues and expenses directly related to Group activities, whether these revenues and expenses are recurring or arise from non-recurring decisions or transactions. “Other non-recurring operating income and expenses” consists of unusual items, notably as concerns their nature or frequency, that could distort the assessment of Group entities’ financial performance. Other non-recurring operating income and expenses may include impairment of tangible assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, gains or losses on disposals of non-current assets, restructuring costs, and costs relating to workforce adaptation measures. Consequently, Recurring operating income (REBIT) is an intermediate line item intended to facilitate understanding of the Group’s operating performance and as a way to estimate recurring performance. This indicator is presented in a manner that is consistent and stable over the long term in order to ensure the continuity and relevance of financial information. |
