1 2021 and 2020 reflect the impacts of adopting the lease accounting standard AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 and are therefore not comparable to the earlier years
2 2018 included a non-recurring income tax benefit of $20,115,000 relating to the restatement of net deferred tax liabilities to the new 21% US corporate tax rate
3 2019 included a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $50,385,000 (post-tax $49,585,000) on the sale of GLP Systems
4 Net interest-bearing debt for 2021 and 2020 excludes lease liabilities under AASB 16
5 Dividends declared and payout ratio relate to the dividends declared out of the profits for the relevant year, rather than when the dividend is paid
6 Calculated using debt facility covenant definitions, which exclude AASB 16
