Important information about financial figures Kemira provides certain financial performance measures (alternative performance measures) on non-gaap basis. Kemira believes that alternative performance measures, such as organic growth*, EBITDA, operative EBITDA, cash flow after investing activities, and gearing followed by capital markets and Kemira management, provide useful information of its comparable business performance and financial position. Selected alternative performance measures are also used as performance criteria in remuneration. Kemira s alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation to the equivalent IFRS measures and alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Definitions of the alternative performance measures can be found in the Definitions of the key figures in this report, as well as at www.kemira.com > Investors > Financial information. All the figures in this interim report have been individually rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate slightly from the sum figure presented. * Revenue growth in local currencies, excluding acquisitions and divestments OCT OBER 24, 2018 Q3 2018 RESULT S 28
