Q1 2022 Financial Overview

Glossary on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) This presentation also contains certain "non-GAAP financial measures", i.e. financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. For example, Airbus makes use of the non-GAAP measures "EBIT Adjusted", "EPS Adjusted" and "Free Cash Flow". Airbus uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess its consolidated financial and operating performance and believes they are helpful in identifying trends in its performance. These measures enhance management's ability to make decisions with respect to resource allocation and whether Airbus is meeting established financial goals. Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Airbus' results as reported under IFRS. Because of these limitations, they should not be considered substitutes for the relevant IFRS measures. ■ EBIT: Airbus continues to use the term EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes). It is identical to Profit before finance cost and income taxes as defined by IFRS Rules. • Adjustment is an alternative performance measure used by Airbus which includes material charges or profits caused by movements in provisions related to programmes, restructuring or foreign exchange impacts as well as capital gains/losses from the disposal and acquisition of businesses. ■ EBIT Adjusted: Airbus uses an alternative performance measure, EBIT Adjusted as a key indicator capturing the underlying business margin by excluding material charges or profits caused by movements in provisions related to programmes, restructuring or foreign exchange impacts as well as capital gains/losses from the disposal and acquisition of businesses. ■ EPS Adjusted is an alternative performance measure of a basic EPS as reported whereby the net income as the numerator does include Adjustments. For reconciliation see slide "Detailed Income Statement and Adjustments". ■ Gross cash position: Airbus defines its consolidated gross cash position as the sum of (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) securities (all as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position). ■ Net cash position: Airbus defines its consolidated net cash position as the sum of (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) securities, minus (iii) financing liabilities, plus or minus (iiii) interest rate contracts related to fair value hedges (all as recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position). ■ Gross cash flow from operations: Gross cash flow from operations is an alternative performance measure and an indicator used by Airbus to measure its operating cash performance before changes in other operating assets and liabilities (working capital). It is defined in the Universal Registration Document, MD&A section 2.1.6.1. as cash provided by operating activities, excluding (i) changes in other operating assets and liabilities (working capital), (ii) contribution to plan assets of pension schemes and (iii) realised foreign exchange results on treasury swaps. Changes in working capital: it is identical to changes in other operating assets and liabilities as defined by IFRS Rules. It is comprised of inventories, trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities (including customer advances), trade liabilities, and other assets and other liabilities. ■ FCF: For the definition of the alternative performance measure free cash flow, see Universal Registration Document, MD&A section 2.1.6.1. It is a key indicator which allows the Company to measure the amount of cash flow generated from operations after cash used in investing activities. ■ FCF before M&A refers to Free Cash Flow as defined in the Universal Registration Document, MD&A section 2.1.6.1. adjusted for net proceeds from disposals and acquisitions. It is an alternative performance measure and indicator that is important in order to measure FCF excluding those cash flows from the acquisition and disposal of businesses. ■ FCF before M&A and Customer Financing refers to free cash flow before mergers and acquisitions adjusted for cash flow related to aircraft financing activities. It is an alternative performance measure and indicator that may be used occasionally by the Company in its financial guidance, especially when there is higher uncertainty around customer financing activities.
