PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements, the 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements, the 2010
Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2013 Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (including comparable figures for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012), English language
translations of which are incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum, were prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU) ("IFRS").
In this offering memorandum, we present certain financial measures, including operating profit before
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), net income excluding non-recurring items, operating cash flow
(referred to as "Funds From Operations" or "FFO") and free cash flow, which are not recognized by IFRS.
These measures are presented because we believe that they and similar measures are relevant indicators of the
Group's financial and operating performance. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or any other body of generally
accepted accounting principles, and thus should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in our
audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements.
