DSM Integrated Annual Report 2022

2 Alternative performance measures

In presenting and discussing DSM’s financial position, operating results and net results, management uses certain Alternative performance measures not defined by IFRS. These Alternative performance measures (APMs) should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used as supplementary information in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Alternative performance measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

To provide clear reporting on the developments of the business, APM adjustments, which represent material items of income or expense, are made. These adjustments impact the EBIT(DA), operating profit, net profit, ROCE, cash provided by operating activities and EPS. A reconciliation of the Alternative performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures can be found in the table Alternative performance measures.

The APM adjustments to net profit, as included in the APMs, can be specified as follows:
