In presenting and discussing dsm-firmenich’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, dsm-firmenich uses certain Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) not defined by IFRS. These APMs are used because they are an important measure of dsm-firmenich’s business development and management performance. A full reconciliation of IFRS performance measures to the APMs is given in Note 2 Alternative performance measures.
