Spectris uses adjusted figures as key performance measures in addition to those reported under adopted IFRS. Adjusted figures are stated before amortisation and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, profits or losses on termination or disposal of businesses, unrealised changes in the fair value of financial instruments, gains or losses on retranslation of short-term inter-company loan balances, related tax effects and other tax items which do not form part of the underlying tax rate.

Reconciliations showing how the adjusted performance measures are derived from those reported under adopted IFRS are set out in Note 2.
