Non-IFRS Measures

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The Company uses results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Therefore, results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Results from operating activities are calculated as net income before amortization of acquired software and customer relationships, finance income, finance expenses, other income, and the provision for income taxes. Results from Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as net income before depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired software and customer relationships, finance income, finance expenses, other income, the provision of income tax and special charges for acquisition related restructuring and transaction costs. Management uses results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance as they exclude amortization of software and intangibles (which is an accounting allocation of the cost of software and intangible assets arising on acquisition), any impact of finance and tax related activities, asset depreciation, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income:
