Alternative performance measures

In addition to the key figures defined or specified in the applicable IFRS financial reporting framework, Apranga APB also provides key financial ratios derived from or based on the prepared financial statements. These are known as Alternative Performance Measures (APM).

Apranga APB considers these APM to be important supplemental information for investors and other consumers of the financial reports and other regulated information. Nevertheless, APM should be seen as an addition to and not a replacement of the information prepared in accordance with IFRS. APM should not be displayed with more prominence, emphasis or authority than measures directly stemming from financial statements.

With regard to the requirements of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures, Apranga APB provides an overview of the APM used, their definition and their compilation.
