Appendix to Press Release:
Definition of alternative performance indicators and reconciliation with IFRS
The Alten Group uses alternative performance indicators selected specifically to track its operational activities. The Group has chosen these indicators as they offer additional information, allowing the users of periodic financial information to have a comprehensive understanding of the Group’s performance. These alternative performance indicators are complementary to IFRS.
Revenue growth on a like‐for‐like basis (i.e. organic growth)
Growth on a like‐for‐like basis (constant scope and exchange rates) is calculated excluding the effects of exchange rate fluctuations and changes to the consolidation scope over the reporting period.
Exchange rate impacts are measured by converting the revenue of the period with the average exchange rate from the previous period.
Scope impact is measured excluding the revenue generated during the period for acquisitions, and excluding the revenue generated in the previous period for disposals and transfers, in order to ensure the new scope is identical to the previous period.
This indicator enables users to identify the group’s intrinsic business performance over the reporting period.
