Key Performance Indicators
We track the following key financial performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs allow us to assess our
progress against the Group’s strategy and help inform decision-making. These KPIs are aligned with
the performance criteria for Directors’ remuneration (see page 70) and also the strategic outcomes
monitored across the Group’s principal risks (see pages 22 to 26).
These KPIs are also some of the most commonly used KPIs for external stakeholders, particularly our
shareholders, when assessing the performance of the Group.
1. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Leverage are each an Alternative Performance Measure
(‘APM’) which does not have an IFRS standardised meaning. Refer to Appendix 1 – Alternative
performance measures for further detail including the definitions and reconciliations.
2. 2024 numbers have been restated - see note 1 to the financial statements for further information.
