They represent IFRS based highlights expectations for the Group’s business, including statements that relate to the Group’s future prospects, developments and strategies, and involve risks and uncertainties both general and specific. The Group has based these forward-looking statements on assumptions regarding present and future strategies of the Group and the environment in which it will operate in the future. However, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including but not limited to general economic, political, financial and business factors, which in some cases are $1,298.5m beyond the Group’s control, actual results, performance, operations or achievements expressed or Revenue implied by such forward-looking statements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and accordingly you should not rely on these forward looking -1% (2018: $1,315.2m) statements in making investment decisions. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, neither the Group nor any other party intends to update or revise these forward-looking statements after the date these statements are published, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. *Alternative performance measures (‘APMs’) are financial measurements that are not required $78.3m under International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) which represent the generally accepted accounting principles (‘GAAP’) under which the Group reports. APMs are presented to provide Operating profit readers with additional financial information that is regularly reviewed by management. The Group believes that the presentation of these non-IFRS measurements provides useful supplemental (2018: $5.5m) information which, when viewed in conjunction with IFRS financial information, provides stakeholders with a more meaningful understanding of the underlying financial and operating performance of the Group and its divisions. APMs are presented on an IAS 18 basis to enable like-for-like analysis with the comparative period. APMs should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of results as reported under IFRS. See “Additional Information” on page 182 for definitions and reconciliations to the closest respective equivalent GAAP measure. IFRS 15 was adopted on 1 October 2018 for our statutory reporting, without restating prior year figures. 22.92c As a result, the discussion of our operating results is primarily on an IAS 18 basis for all periods presented.
