FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Definitions
This report contains financial key ratios in accordance with the frameworks applied by AddLife, which are based on IFRS. In addition, there are other key ratios (alternative performance measures) that cannot be directly obtained from or derived from the financial statements. These key figures are central to understand and evaluate AddLifes business and financial position. They should not be viewed as a replacement for the measures defined under IFRS, but rather as a complement to the financial reporting. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. The key figures are presented in the Multi-year overview and commented on in the administration report. The key figures that are the financial targets are commented in the section "Financial targets".

EBITDA

Current year’s EBITA/adjusted EBITA minus previous year’s EBITA/adjusted EBITA, divided by previous year’s EBITA/adjusted EBITA.
