Several key figures in this report are not defined according to IFRS. The alternative performance measures are
marked with a *. They provide complementary information aiming to help readers to analyze the company’s
operations and facilitate an evaluation of the performance. Since not all companies calculate financial perfor-
mance measures in the same manner, these are not always comparable with measures used by other compa-
nies. These financial performance measures should therefore not be regarded as a replacement for measures as
defined according to IFRS. For a list of financial definitions, non-IFRS measures and calculations, visit the Epiroc
