The Group does not suggest that investors should consider these adjusted financial results in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Group presents adjusted financial results when reporting its financial results to provide investors with additional performance measures to evaluate the Group’s results in a manner that focuses on what the Group believes to be its underlying business operations. The Group’s management believes that the inclusion of adjusted financial results provides consistency and comparability with past reports.
