The segment information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements.

The Management Board analyses the segments’ results using basic performance measures, such as segment’s net profit, as well as key efficiency indicators such as EBITDAear­nings be­fo­re in­te­rest, ta­xes, de­pre­cia­tion and amor­ti­za­tion, which is not a standardised measure.

The definition of EBITDAear­nings be­fo­re in­te­rest, ta­xes, de­pre­cia­tion and amor­ti­za­tion and how it is calculated by the Group are presented below.

Definition adopted by the Group:

EBITDAear­nings be­fo­re in­te­rest, ta­xes, de­pre­cia­tion and amor­ti­za­tion – profit before tax, less net finance costs, share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investees, and depreciation and amortisation. .
