Euronext publishes Q4 and full year 2022 results
Strong results demonstrating Euronext’s diversified business model, efficient management of cash trading market share combined with cost discipline. Upgraded 2024 synergies target.
Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 9 February 2023 – Euronext, the leading pan-European market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.
- Full year 2022 underlying revenue and income1 up +0.1% pro forma2 at €1,467.8 million (reported revenue and income at €1,418.8 million, +€120.2 million, -3.2% pro forma2, +9.3% reported) illustrating the strong performance of non-volume related business and enhanced revenue capture:
- Non-volume related revenue accounted for 58.1% of 2022 underlying revenue1 (vs. 58% pro forma in 2021) and covered 141% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A3 (vs. 142% pro forma in 2021).
- Trading revenue grew to €514.1 million (-0.8% pro forma, +10.5% reported). FX and power trading reported strong performances. The softer environment for cash trading volumes from the second semester of 2022 was offset by efficient management of yield and an uptick in market share from October 2022.
- Post-trade revenue (excluding NTI) grew to €364.5 million (+1.5 % pro forma, +13.7% reported). Custody and Settlement revenue was €243.1 million (stable pro forma, +10.9% reported) thanks to the diversified Euronext Securities business model as settlement activity stabilised. Clearing revenue increased to €121.4 million (+4.5% pro forma, +19.7% reported) mainly as a result of the consolidation of revenue from Euronext Clearing (acquired on 29 April 2021) and improved product mix. Net treasury income for Euronext Clearing was €44.0 million, excluding Q3 2022 €49.0 million of non-underlying pre-tax loss following the disposal of the Euronext Clearing portfolio1.
- Listing revenue grew to €218.4 million (+7.3% pro forma, +15.1% reported), demonstrating the resilience of the business in tougher market conditions. In 2022, Euronext remained the leading venue for equity listing in Europe, recording 83 new equity listings, and the leading venue for debt listing globally.
- Advanced Data Services revenue grew to €212.1 million (+4.8% pro forma, +15.5% reported), driven by the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group and a strong performance of both real-time and non real-time data businesses.
- Adjusted EBITDA3 was at €861.6 million (+€90.6 million, -1.2% pro forma, +11.7% reported) reflecting continued cost discipline despite strong inflationary pressure. Adjusted EBITDA margin was at 58.7% (-0.8pts pro forma, -0.7pts reported):
- Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A3 were €606.1 million (+2.0% pro forma, +14.9% reported), beating revised 2022 cost guidance of €612 million (initially €622 million), thanks to efficient cost control and several positive one-off impacts over the year.
- Reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, was up +5.9% reported to
€437.8 million (+€24.5 million):- Net financing expenses were at €29.7 million and results from equity investments amounted to €18.7 million. Income tax rate was at 26.6%.
- Adjusted net income3, share of the parent company shareholders, was up +5.7% to €555.3 million
- Adjusted EPS4 was down -4.8% at €5.21, due to higher share count
- Net debt to reported EBITDA was at 2.6x at the end of 2022 and net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 2.4x resulting from strong cash generation since the closing of the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.

- Dividend proposal:
As announced on 28 July 2022, a pay-out ratio of 50% of reported net income, adjusted for the Q3 2022 one-off post-tax loss related to the partial disposal of Euronext Clearing portfolio, representing a dividend for 2022 of €236.6 million (€2.22 per share) will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 17 May 2023.
- Cost guidance for 2023:
In 2023, Euronext expects its underlying expenses excluding D&A to be around €630 million, compared to the annualised second semester of 2022 underlying expenses excluding D&A of around €620 million. The slight increase in costs only results from costs related to non-volume related revenue growth initiatives. Savings and synergies entirely compensate inflation and business development costs.
- Status update on synergies in relation to the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition:
- €34.1 million of cumulated run-rate annual synergies were achieved at the end of Q4 2022, thanks to restructuring efforts and the migration of the Core Data Centre. €9.7 million run-rate annual synergies were delivered in Q4 2022.
- €44.2 million of cumulated implementation costs incurred at the end of Q4 2022, of which €6.3 million during Q4 2022.
- Next steps in the deployment of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan:
- Euronext upgrades its 2024 annual run-rate pre-tax synergies related to the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group by €15 millon to €115 million. Implementation costs remain unchanged.
- Euronext confirmed the migration of Borsa Italiana cash markets onto Optiq® in March 2023, forming the first phase of the migration, and of Borsa Italiana other markets in Q4 2023 allowing for termination of the third-party provider trading platform contract.
- Euronext confirmed the phases in the expansion of Euronext Clearing with the expected launch of the equity clearing offering by the end of 2023 and of derivative clearing by Q3 2024.
- These strategic projects are expected to reach around €70 million of cumulated run-rate synergies by the end of 2023, out of the €115 million targeted.
- In 2023, Euronext expects to maintain for cash trading an average market share greater or equal to 63%, and revenue capture around 0.52bps following the migration of Borsa Italiana cash markets to Optiq®, considering current market conditions and orders size.
- Key achievement in the deployment of the ‘Fit for 1.5°’ ESG strategy in 2022:
- Euronext’s upgraded SBTi-aligned climate targets were validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative:
- By 2030, Euronext will reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas emissions by 73.5% compared to 2020;
- By 2030, Euronext will reduce its Scope 3 business travel emissions by at least 46.2% compared to 2019;
- By 2027, Euronext suppliers, representing 72% of Euronext’s greenhouse gas emissions derived from purchased goods and services, must set targets on their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
- The Group’s efforts to enhance diversity were recognised through the inclusion of Euronext into the Euronext Equileap Eurozone 100 and the Euronext Equileap Gender Equality France 40 indices.
- Euronext’s upgraded SBTi-aligned climate targets were validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative:
- Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
“In 2022, Euronext reached record revenue and income above €1.4 billion notably resulting from the strong performance of our non-volume related activities, together with efficient management of revenue capture and of cash trading market share. Thanks to our trademark cost discipline, we beat our 2022 revised costs guidance. We achieved an adjusted EBITDA of €861.6 million that translated into an adjusted EPS of €5.21. We will propose a total dividend of €236.6 million at our next annual general meeting to be held in May 2023, representing 50% of our reported net income, excluding NTI loss impact.
This year has been crucial in laying the foundations for the future growth of the Group. We have successfully completed the first major milestone of our ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan with the migration of our Core Data Centre from the UK to Italy. At the end of 2022, we have achieved €34.1 million of cumulated run-rate annual synergies related to the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.
This fruitful year paves the way for the next steps to be delivered in 2023. The largest single liquidity pool in Europe, operated by Euronext will significantly change dimension with the migration of Italian cash markets to Euronext’s state-of-the-art proprietary trading platform Optiq®, which will benefit local and global trading members.
Euronext Clearing will become the Euronext equity clearing house of choice by the end of 2023, and the CCP for derivatives clearing in Q3 2024. These are the critical bricks to complete our presence across the integrated value chain, allowing us to innovate and shape capital markets in line with evolving client needs, and making Euronext even stronger to deliver future growth.
In an inflationary environment, we will contain our costs to a slight increase in 2023, at €630 million, demonstrating Euronext’s ability to maintain its cost discipline while investing to generate revenue expansion of our non-volume related activities. We expect to deliver by the end of 2023 around €70 million of the synergies targeted as part of our ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan. Our good progress on integration led us to upgrade the total amount of targeted run-rate EBITDA synergies by the end of 2024 from €100 million to €115 million. This further demonstrates Euronext’s successful track record in integrating acquired companies.
Our strong performance, combined with the successful ongoing delivery of the planned synergies, is supporting our deleveraging trajectory with a net debt to EBITDA ratio at 2.6x, well below 3.2x at the time of closing of the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition. This leaves the Group with flexibility to further deploy capital in value generating opportunities that might arise.
Lastly, we are happy to see that our ‘Fit for 1.5°’ ESG strategy is bearing fruit, as our upgraded emission reduction targets have been validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative. We are pleased to see Euronext being included in both the Equileap Eurozone 100 and the Equileap Gender Equality France 40 indices, demonstrating the progress we are making in striving towards more equality.”

Share count differs between the two periods
2022 revenue and income
In 2022, Euronext’s consolidated revenue and income amounted to €1,418.8 million, up +9.3% reported compared to 2021, resulting from the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group and strong performance of non-volume related activities, partially offset by the Q3 2022 €49.0 million non-underlying, one-off pre-tax loss (€35.0 million post-tax) related to the disposal of the Euronext Clearing portfolio9 and a softer volume environment for cash equity trading. Underlying revenue and income, excluding the non-underlying, one-off loss related to the partial disposal of the Euronext Clearing portfolio, was up +13.0% in 2022, to €1,467.8 million.
On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income was stable (-0.2%) in 2022, at €1,204.4 million, compared to 2021. Pro forma the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition on 29 April 2021, underlying revenue and income were stable in 2022 compared to 2021, resulting from strong non-volume related activities, notably listing and advanced data services, very good performances for FX and power trading and a solid performance of derivatives trading.
Non-volume related revenue accounted for 58% of underlying Group revenue in 2022, stable vs. 2021, reflecting the successful diversification towards non-volume related activities, good performance of non-equity related trading activities and the challenging environment for cash trading and MTS cash trading this quarter. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related underlying revenue ratio was at 141% in 2022, almost stable vs. 2021 (142%).
2022 adjusted EBITDA
Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased to €606.1 million, up +14.9%, reflecting the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group costs and continued cost discipline in an inflationary environment. Underlying expenses excluding D&A (€606.1 million) were better than 2022 guidance of €612 million underlying costs excluding D&A (€622 million initially) thanks to strong cost discipline, project costs being capitalised and one-off positive impacts, including release of accruals and lower-than-anticipated travel and marketing expenses due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased slightly by +2.7% compared to 2021, which was positively impacted by the decrease of travel and marketing expenses during the pandemic, highlighting Euronext’s ability to contain inflation in 2022. On a pro forma basis for the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group on 29 April 2021, underlying operational expenses increased slightly by +2.0%, mainly due to the return of travel and marketing expenses in 2022.
Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €861.6 million and saw double digit growth, +11.7% compared to 2021. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58.7%, down -0.7 points compared to 2021. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was down -2.3%, to €699.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 58.1%, down -1.2 points compared to the same perimeter in 2021.
2022 net income, share of the parent company shareholders
Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €160.2 million in 2022, up +19.0%, mostly due to the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €83.3 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.
Adjusted operating profit was €792.8 million, a strong +11.7% increase compared to 2021. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was down -2.3% compared to 2021, at €643.6 million.
€118.6 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in 2022, related to the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group, the implementation of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.
Net financing expense for 2022 was €29.7 million compared to a net financing expense of €31.7 million in 2021. This decrease mainly results from the elimination of costs in relation to the bridge financing of the Borsa Italiana Group in 2021, partially offset by the cost of bonds issued to finance the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.
Results from equity investments amounted to €18.7 million in 2022, solely representing the contribution received from LCH SA and a dividend received from Euroclear. As a reminder, in 2021, Euronext reported €33.2 million in results from equity investments, reflecting two dividends received from Sicovam and two dividends received from Euroclear in addition to the contribution received from LCH SA.
Income tax for 2022 was €163.6 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 26.6% for 2022 (2021: €158.6 million and 27.3% respectively).
Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €12.8 million in 2022.
As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, increased by +5.9% for 2022 compared to 2021, to €437.8 million, including the one-off loss due to the portfolio reallocation10 of the Euronext Clearing portfolio. This represents a reported EPS of €4.10 basic and €4.10 diluted in 2022, compared to €4.30 basic and €4.29 diluted in 2021. This decrease reflects a higher number of outstanding shares over 2022 compared to 2021.
Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was up +5.7% to €555.3 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was down -4.8% in 2022, at €5.21 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €5.47 per share in 2021. This decrease reflect a higher number of outstanding shares over 2022 compared to 2021.
The weighted number of shares used over 2022 was 106,669,451 for the basic calculation and 106,901,306 for the diluted calculation, compared to 96,058,761 and 96,297,159 respectively over 2021.
In 2022, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €616.5 million, compared to €543.7 million in 2021, resulting from higher profit before tax and higher depreciation and amortisation. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 83.9% of EBITDA in 2022.

Q4 2022 revenue and income
In Q4 2022, Euronext’s consolidated revenue and income amounted to €347.0 million, down -6.2% compared to Q4 2021, primarily due to the solid performance of advanced data services and listing activities, offset by lower cash and fixed income trading and post-trade revenue, including net treasury income. On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income was down -6.1% in Q4 2022, to €346.5 million, compared to Q4 2021.
Non-volume related revenue accounted for 60% of Group revenue in Q4 2022, compared to 58% in Q4 2021, reflecting higher advanced data services and services revenue. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 130% in Q4 2022, compared to 136% in Q4 2021.
Q4 2022 adjusted EBITDA

On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation slightly increased by +2.1% compared to Q4 2021.
Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €187.9 million, down -12.0% compared to Q4 2021. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 54.1%, down -3.5 points compared to Q4 2021. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2022 was down -12.1%, to €187.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 54.2%, down -3.7pts points compared to the same perimeter in Q4 2021.
Q4 2022 net income, share of the parent company shareholders
Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €42.6 million in Q4 2022, -12.8% less than in Q4 2021. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €20.8 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.
Adjusted operating profit was €168.4 million, a -13.3% decrease compared to Q4 2021. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was down -13.4% compared to Q4 2021, at €168.2 million.
€34.1 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in Q4 2022, related to the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group, the implementation of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.
Net financing expense for Q4 2022 was €6.0 million, compared to a net financing expense of €6.7 million in Q4 2021. This decrease results from higher interest income due to increased interest rates partially offset by the higher cost of issued bonds and a negative revaluation of foreign currency balances.
Results from equity investments amounted to €12.6 million in Q4 2022, representing the contribution received from LCH SA and a dividend received from Euroclear. As a reminder, in Q4 2021, Euronext reported €7.3 million in results from equity investments, reflecting a dividend payment by Sicovam in addition to the contribution received from LCH SA.
Income tax for Q4 2022 was €38.5 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 27.3% for the quarter (Q4 2021: €35.7 million and 23.6% respectively).
Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €3.0 million in Q4 2022.
As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, decreased by -11.9% for Q4 2022 compared to Q4 2021, to €99.3 million. This represents a reported EPS of €0.93 basic and €0.93 diluted in Q4 2022, compared to €1.05 basic and €1.05 diluted in Q4 2021. Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was down -18.2% to €118.2 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was down -18.0% in Q4 2022, at €1.11 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.35 per share in Q4 2021. This decrease reflect a higher number of outstanding shares over the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
The weighted number of shares used over 2022 was 106,669,451 for the basic calculation and 106,901,306 for the diluted calculation, compared to 96,058,761 and 96,297,159 respectively over 2021.
In Q4 2022, Euronext reported a negative net cash flow from operating activities of €147.1 million, compared to a positive €145.6 million in Q4 2021, reflecting higher negative changes in working capital reflecting notably short-term movement in outstanding power sales customers’ and suppliers’ invoices related to Nord Pool CCP activities. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 51.9% of EBITDA in Q4 2022.

Fourth quarter 2022
- Cash trading
Cash trading revenue decreased by -17.9% to €65.1 million in Q4 2022, resulting from lower trading volumes, partially offset by an uptick in market share from October 2022. Over the fourth quarter of 2022, Euronext recorded cash trading average daily volumes of €10.1 billion, a volume decrease of
-17.2% compared to Q4 2021 resulting from a softer trading environment and partially offset by efficient revenue capture management.
Over the fourth quarter of 2022, Euronext cash trading yield was 0.50bps, reflecting the dilutive impact of Borsa Italiana markets and larger average order size. During the fourth quarter 2022, Euronext continued to enhance its fee schemes. The latter translated into an uptick in market share from October 2022. Euronext market share on cash trading averaged 65.3% in Q4 2022. In 2023, Euronext expects to maintain for cash trading an average market share greater or equal to 63%, and revenue capture around 0.52bps following the migration of Borsa Italiana cash markets to Optiq®, considering current market conditions and orders size.
The largest single liquidity pool in Europe operated by Euronext will significantly change dimension with the migration of Italian cash markets to Euronext’s state-of-the-art proprietary trading platform Optiq® in Q1 2023. This migration will benefit local and global trading members.

Q4 2022 corporate highlights since publication of the Q3 2022 results on 3 November 2022
- Completion of the acquisition of the technology business from Nexi’s capital markets activities
On 1 December 2022, Euronext announced the completion of the purchase of the technology business powering MTS, Euronext’s leading fixed-income trading platform, and Euronext Securities Milan, from Nexi. This Transaction enables Euronext to fully internalise the technology powering MTS and Euronext Securities Milan. Following this Transaction, Nexi will continue to provide technology services to Euronext under transitional arrangements and services under commercial agreements.
- Disposal of MTS Markets International Inc., US subsidiary of MTS S.p.A.
On 15 December 2022, MTS S.p.A., the leading European bond trading platform majority-owned by Euronext, announced that it has completed the sale of its US subsidiary MTS Markets International Inc. (“MMI”) to Tradition America Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA.
The sale of MMI was implemented as a result of the conclusion of a strategic review initiated following the integration of Borsa Italiana and the decision to divest non-core assets.
Corporate highlights since 1 January 2023
- Expansion of Euronext Clearing to derivatives markets
On 16 January 2023, Euronext announced that the European expansion of Euronext Clearing to Euronext derivatives markets is planned for Q3 2024. Euronext expects to migrate the listed financial derivatives and commodities markets of Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon, Oslo Børs and Euronext Paris from LCH SA to Euronext Clearing by Q3 202421. As a reminder, Euronext Clearing already clears Euronext Milan listed derivatives.
As Euronext Clearing undertakes derivatives clearing services in Europe, Euronext has decided to terminate the existing derivatives clearing agreement (the “Agreement”) with LCH SA, under the terms of the Agreement. Therefore, on 16 January 2023, Euronext served LCH SA notice of termination for the purposes of the Agreement.
As set up in the Agreement, Euronext will pay a termination fee of approximately €36.0 million to LCH SA, provisioned in its income statement as non-underlying expenses in Q1 2023, and payable in 2024. As previously stated, this amount is included in the €150 million of implementation costs related to the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and already announced in November 2021.
Following the notification of the early termination of the Agreement, LCH Group has the option to buy back Euronext's 11.1% stake in LCH SA. Further communication related to the stake owned by Euronext in LCH SA will be made when appropriate.
Euronext and LCH SA are committed to working together to ensure an orderly migration of clearing flows from LCH SA to Euronext Clearing.
The termination of the Agreement does not impact the existing clearing agreement signed between MTS S.p.A and LCH SA nor the existing agreement related to the interoperability link on Italian Government Bonds between Euronext Clearing and LCH SA.

Appendix
Adjustments in financial disclosure
To highlight its underlying performance, since Q1 2022 Euronext has published underlying recurring costs, adjusted EBITDA and non-recurring costs.
Euronext has removed the exceptional items line from its financial statements. Consequently, costs previously reported as exceptional items have from Q1 2022 been included in their respective lines within Euronext operating expenses as non-recurring items.
The €150 million of implementation costs to deliver on the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan targets are therefore considered as non-recurring items and have been withdrawn from the underlying recurring costs.
The computation of adjusted net income and earnings per share has been adjusted accordingly. The computation of reported net income and earnings per share is not impacted.
2024 strategic plan targets remain unchanged and are not affected by this change in reporting.
The new non-IFRS indicators are defined below.
Non-IFRS financial measures
For comparative purposes, the company provides unaudited non-IFRS measures including:
- Operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;
- EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin.
Non-IFRS measures are defined as follows:
- Operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation as the total of salary and employee benefits, and other operational expenses;
- Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation as the total of salary and employee benefits, and other operational expenses, excluding non-recurring costs;
- Underlying revenue and income as the total of revenue and income, excluding non-recurring revenue and income;
- Non-underlying items as items of revenue, income and expense that are material by their size and/or that are infrequent and unusual by their nature or incidence are not considered to be recurring in the normal course of business and are classified as non-underlying items on the face of the income statement within their relevant category in order to provide further understanding of the ongoing sustainable performance of the Group. These items can include:
- integration or double run costs of significant projects, restructuring costs and costs related to acquisitions that change the perimeter of the Group;
- one-off finance costs, gains or losses on sale of subsidiaries and impairments of investments:
- amortisation and impairment of intangible assets which are recognised as a result of acquisitions and mostly comprising customer relationships, brand names and software that were identified during purchase price allocation (PPA);
- tax related to non-underlying items.
- Adjusted operating profit as the operating profit adjusted for any non-underlying revenue and income and non-underlying costs, including PPA of acquired businesses;
- EBITDA as the operating profit before depreciation and amortisation;
- Adjusted EBITDA as the adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation adjusted for any non-underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;
- EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by total revenue and income;
- Adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA, divided by total revenue and income;
- Adjusted net income, as the net income, share of the parent company shareholders, adjusted for any non-underlying items and related tax impact.
Non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements.
