  1. The foreign exchange impact are calculated by applying to the year's foreign exchange revenue, the exchange rate of the prior year.
  2. The perimeter impacts are calculated by restating the revenue:
  • on the one hand, from the contribution of the entities acquired during the year and of the entities acquired during the previous year until the anniversary date of the acquisition,
  • on the other hand, for the entities sold in the year, from the revenue contribution of the previous year for which the entities are no longer consolidated in N and for the entities sold in N-1, from the revenue contribution of the previous financial year up to the date of transfer.
