Definitions

Underlying measures

To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group has included within its published financial statements non-GAAP measures including underlying operating profit and underlying

  • profit. The non-GAAP measures used do not include the impact of items described below which are not considered to reflect the day to day operating results of the Group. Underlying measures

are therefore considered to provide a more comparable view year-on-year, having removed the distorting effects of the excluded items which are more clearly understood when presented

  • separately. All underlying measures include the operational results of all businesses including those held for sale until the point of sale.

Underlying operating profit

This has been defined as operating profit from continuing operations excluding the specific adjusting items as described below.

  • Business acquisition and divestment related items excluded from underlying operating profit and underlying profit comprising the amortisation of intangible assets arising on business

combinations, gains or losses arising on business divestments, and other direct costs associated with business combinations and terminated divestments;

  • Amounts relating to prior periods’ restructuring programmes which are incremental to normal operations and non-recurring in nature. In 2017 and 2016, these relate to the integration of

the Aeroflex businesses acquired in 2014. Where restructuring costs are incurred as a result of the on-going execution of Group strategy, such costs are included within administrative expenses and are not excluded from underlying results;

  • Changes in marking to market of non-hedge accounted derivative financial instruments and gains and losses arising on dividend related foreign exchange contracts; and
  • Other items deemed by the Directors to be of exceptional, non-operating nature including impairment of intangible assets and adjustments arising from the January 2017 Balance Sheet
