1 - Non IFRS Performance Measures definitions

1. While the Group reports its results in euro, it generates a significant proportion of its earnings in currencies other than euro, in particular US

  • dollar. Constant currency reporting is used by the Group to eliminate the translational effect of foreign exchange on the Group’s results. To arrive

at the constant currency year-on-year change, the results for the prior year are retranslated using the average exchange rates for the current year and compared to the current year reported numbers. 2. Total Group has a number of strategically important Equity accounted investees (Joint Ventures & Associates) which when combined with the Group’s wholly owned businesses give an important indication of the scale and reach of the Group’s operations. Total Group is used to describe certain financial metrics such as Revenue and EBITA when they include both the wholly owned businesses and the Group's share of Joint Ventures & Associates 3. Revenue comprises sales of goods and services of the wholly owned businesses to external customers net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. 4. EBITA is defined as earnings before interest, tax and amortisation excluding exceptional items. 5. EBITA margin is defined as EBITA before exceptional items as a percentage of the revenue of the wholly owned businesses. Total Group EBITA margin is defined as Total Group EBITA as a percentage of Group revenue 6. Adjusted EPS is defined as the net profit attributable to the equity holders of Glanbia plc, before exceptional items and intangible asset amortisation (excluding amortisation of software costs), net of related tax, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. During the current year the calculation of adjusted Earnings Per Share was amended to exclude the cost of software amortisation within the earnings calculation. The Group believes that adjusted EPS is a better measure of underlying performance than Basic EPS as it excludes exceptional items that are not related to on-going operational performance and intangible asset amortisation, which allows better comparability of companies that grow by acquisition The Group reports certain performance measures that are not defined under IFRS but which represent additional measures used by the Board of Directors and the Glanbia Operating Executive in assessing performance and for reporting both internally and to shareholders and other external

  • users. The Group believes that the presentation of these non IFRS performance measures provides useful supplemental information which, when

viewed in conjunction with our IFRS financial information, provides readers with a more meaningful understanding of the underlying financial and

  • perating performance of the Group.
slide-27
SLIDE 27

2017 Half Year Results | Slide 27

7. Pro-forma adjusted Earnings per share is defined as the net profit from continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of Glanbia plc before exceptional items and intangible asset amortisation (excluding amortisation of software costs) net of related tax plus the Group’s share (40%) of the profits after tax of Dairy Ireland and related assets, before exceptional items and intangible asset amortisation (excluding amortisation of software costs) net of related tax 8. Adjusted EBIT : net finance cost is calculated as earnings before interest and tax plus dividends received from equity accounted investees divided by net finance cost. Net finance cost comprises finance costs less finance income per the condensed Group income statement plus capitalised borrowing costs 9. Net debt : adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net debt at the end of the year divided by adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as total financial liabilities (excluding debt issue costs) less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA for the wholly owned businesses (as defined under operating cash flow) plus dividends received from Joint Ventures & Associates, and in the event of an acquisition in the year, includes pro-forma EBITDA as though the acquisition date had been at the beginning of the year.

  • 10. Volume represents the impact of sales volumes within the revenue movement year-on-year from wholly owned businesses, excluding volume

from acquisitions, on a constant currency basis

  • 11. Pricing represents the impact of sales pricing within the revenue movement year-on-year from wholly owned businesses, excluding

acquisitions, on a constant currency basis

  • 12. Like-for-like branded revenue growth represents the sales growth/(decline) year-on-year on branded sales, excluding acquisitions, on a

constant currency basis. Contract revenue is also disallowed.

  • 13. Pro-forma revenue is defined as the revenue of Glanbia Ireland if the Dairy Ireland transaction had occurred on 3 January 2016
  • 14. The average interest rate is defined as the annualised net finance costs (pre-capitalised borrowing costs) divided by the average net debt as at

the reporting period
