In order to present a more meaningful picture of the performance of the Group’s industrial operations and make the data for different periods more readily comparable, certain components of the items used to compute EBITDA, EBIT and Net result were reclassified.
Specifically:
- Revenues are shown net of the value of raw materials to eliminate the impact of fluctuations in raw material prices.
- The impact on EBITDA, EBIT, result before taxes and net result of the adoption of the IFRS accounting principles to value the inventory of raw materials and the effect of valuing the corresponding London Metal Exchange hedging contracts at fair value was derecognized.
- Extraordinary items are shown below the EBITDA line.
