Financial definitions Like-for-like Like-for-Like sales growth comprises total sales/fee revenue in a financial period compared to revenue achieved in a prior period, for stores, online operations, grooming salons, vet practices and referral centres that have been trading for 52 weeks. Free cashflow Free Cashflow is defined as net cash from operating activities, after tax, less net cash used in investing activities (excluding acquisitions), less interest paid & debt issue costs, and is stated before cash flows for exceptional costs CROIC Represents cash returns divided by the average of gross capital (GCI) invested for the last twelve months. Cash returns represent preexceptional operating profit before property rentals and share based payments subject to tax then adjusted for depreciation and amortisation. GCI represents Gross Property, Plant and Equipment plus Software and other intangibles excluding the goodwill created on the acquisition of the group by KKR ( 906,445,000) plus net working capital plus capitalised rent being property rentals multiplied by a factor of 8x. A multiple of 8 is the industry standard methodology. (Last twelve month definition uses the second half of the 53 week FY16 ended 31st March 2016.) 31
