The Group defines effective tax rate as reported tax rate (reported tax charge divided by
reported profit before tax) adjusted for exceptional items, foreign exchange rate
movements and one-off tax items of prior period adjustment, tax settlements and
impact of permanent differences on tax.
This provides an indication of the current on-going tax rate across the Group.
Exceptional tax items or any tax arising on exceptional items are additional specific items
that because of their size, nature or incidence in the results, are considered to hinder
comparison of the Group's performance on a period-to-period basis and could distort
the understanding of our performance for the period and the comparability between
periods and hence are adjusted to arrive at effective tax rate.
Foreign exchange rate movements are specific items that are non-tax deductible in a few
of the entities which are loss making and where DTA is not yet triggered and hence are
considered to hinder comparison of the Group's effective tax rate on a period-to-period
basis and therefore excluded to arrive at effective tax rate.
One-off tax impact on account of prior period adjustment, any tax litigation settlement
and tax impact on permanent differences are additional specific items that because of
their size and frequency in the results, are considered to hinder comparison of the
Group's effective tax rate on a period-to-period basis.
The Group defines underlying profit/(loss) after tax as profit/(loss) for the period
adjusted for exceptional items.
The directors view underlying profit/(loss) after tax to be a meaningful measure to
analyse the Group's profitability.
Exceptional items are additional specific items that because of their size, nature or
incidence in the results, are considered to hinder comparison of the Group's
performance on a period-to-period basis and could distort the understanding of our
performance for the period and the comparability between periods and hence are
adjusted to arrive at underlying profit/(loss) after tax.
The Group defines earnings per share before exceptional items as profit/(loss) for the
period before exceptional items attributable to owners of the company divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial period.
This measure reflects the earnings per share before exceptional items for each share unit
of the company.
Exceptional items are additional specific items that because of their size, nature or
incidence in the results, are considered to hinder comparison of the Group's
performance on a period-to-period basis and could distort the understanding of our
performance for the period and the comparability between periods and hence are
adjusted to arrive at earnings for the purpose of earnings per share before exceptional
items.
The Group defines operating free cash flow as net cash generated from operating
activities before income tax paid, changes in working capital, other non-cash items, non-
operating income and exceptional items, less capital expenditures. The Group views
operating free cash flow as a key liquidity measure, as it indicates the cash available to
pay dividends, repay debt or make further investments in the Group.
The Group defines net debt as borrowings including lease liabilities less cash and cash
equivalents, term deposits with banks, deposits given against borrowings/non-derivative
financial instruments, processing costs related to borrowings and fair value hedge
adjustments.
The Group defines leverage ratio as net debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding 12
months.
The directors view net debt and the leverage ratio to be meaningful measures to monitor
the Group's ability to cover its debt through its earnings.
