10.2 Alternative performance measures

UPM presents certain performance measures of historical performance,

financial position and cash flows, which in accordance with the

“Alternative Performance Measures” guidance issued by the European

Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) are not accounting measures

defined or specified in IFRS and are therefore considered as alternative

performance measures. These alternative performance measures are

described below:

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURE

DEFINITION

Operating profit

Profit before income tax expense, finance expenses and finance income and net gains on sale of energy

shareholdings as presented on the face of the IFRS income statement.

Comparable EBIT

Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability.

Comparable EBITDA

Operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairments, change in fair value of forest assets

and wood harvested, share of results of associates and joint ventures and items affecting comparability.

Comparable profit before tax

Net debt

Items affecting comparability

Certain non-operational or non-cash valuation transactions with significant income statement impact are

considered as items affecting comparability, if they arise from asset impairments, restructuring measures,

asset sales, fair value changes of forest assets resulting from changes in valuation parameters or estimates

or changes in legislation or legal proceedings. In addition, the changes in fair value of unrealised cash

flow and commodity hedges are classified as items affecting comparability. Numerical threshold for items

to be considered as significant in UPM’s business areas UPM Biorefining, UPM Specialty Papers and UPM

Paper ENA is determined as one cent (EUR 0.01) after tax per share or more. In other business areas, the

impact is considered to be significant if the item exceeds EUR 1 million before tax.
