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
Total of current and non-current debt less cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing current and

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.
