Presentation of financial information<br />
The Company, ABK Limited and the Operating Group publish their financial statements in pounds sterling.<br />
The Operating Group and the Company have a year end of 28 February. ABK Limited has a year end on the<br />
last day of February. Up until the year ended 31 December 2012, its year end was 31 December.<br />
The financial information contained in this <strong>document</strong>, including that financial information presented in a<br />
number of tables in this <strong>document</strong>, has been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal<br />
place. Therefore, the actual arithmetic total of the numbers in a column or row in a certain table may not<br />
conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row. In addition, certain percentages presented<br />
in the tables in this <strong>document</strong> reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding,<br />
and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant<br />
calculations were based upon the rounded numbers.<br />
Certain non-IFRS measures such as operating profit before finance costs, taxation, depreciation, amortisation<br />
and exceptional one-off transaction costs (“EBITDA”), GP Margin or Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Gross<br />
Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin have been included in the financial information, as the Directors believe<br />
that these provide important alternative measures with which to assess the Group’s performance. You should<br />
not consider EBITDA, GP Margin or Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin<br />
as alternatives for Revenue or Operating Profit which are IFRS measures. Additionally, the Company’s<br />
calculation of EBITDA, GP Margin or Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin<br />
may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.<br />
