In this presentation the P&L excludes the results from Xzakt up until the acquisition. In the public presentation the numbers are presented on a pro-forma basis, i.e. such as if Xzakt had been acquired January 1st 2017 2018A ▪ EBITDA difference due to rounding 2019A ▪ Revenues: as part of an agreement with a customer (following a dispute) revenues/invoicing of €1.6m was written-off. Internally the company views this as a
adjusted basis, revenues are, as in the internal management accounts, presented excluding the one-off write down. In the public information presented on an adjusted basis, this one-off impact is instead taken into account within cost of sales, resulting in revenues of €541.5m and €1.6m lower costs (i.e. neutral EBITDA impact) ▪ Adjusted EBITA: the P&L in this presentation is sourced from internal management accounts and presented in accordance with the management accounts. One account in the management accounts is “service fee”, which relates to FX differences on internally charged management fees and is reported below EBITA in the management accounts and presented in that way in this presentation. However, management’s view is that this is in fact an operational item and hence the net impact is presented above EBITA in the public information. For 2019A, the service fee/FX item was €(19)k ▪ Adjusted EBITDA: difference refers to; i) same difference as on EBITA level and ii) that the interest component related to IFRS16 is treated below EBITA in this presentation (when excl. IFRS16 it should be treated above EBITA which is not done in this presentation due to the relatively immaterial amount) Q4 2019A ▪ No difference on revenue and EBITA, difference on EBITDA same explanation as in the 2019A period but the impact is only for 3 months
