Alternative Performance Measures

The Company determines term “Adjusted EBITA” as follows:

Adjusted EBITA=Reported EBITA + (+ goodwill impairment  +/- costs/gains directly related to acquiring business combinations + restructuring costs of business structure – gains of sales of fixed assets + losses of sales of fixed assets).

Gofore applies ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines on alternative performance measures effective from 2016.

Gofore uses and presents the following alternative performance measures to better illustrate the operative development of its business: operating profit before amortization of PPA (EBITA), EBITDA, ROI, ROE, equity ratio and net gearing. PPA amortizations arise from assets recognised in fair value in acquired business combinations.

The items included in the EBITA, adjusted EBITA and EBITDA consist of the following:
