Definitions

1. Free cash flow – calculated by adjusting the cash flow from operating activities to exclude the expansion capital expenditure on rental assets and deducting replacement capital expenditure on other assets.
2. Operating assets – total assets less loans receivable, tax assets, cash resources and assets held for sale.
3. Operating liabilities – total liabilities less interest-bearing borrowings, tax liabilities and liabilities directly associated to assets classified as held for sale.
4. Net working capital – consists of inventories, trade and other receivables, provisions for liabilities and other charges and trade and other payables
5. Net interest-bearing debt – interest-bearing borrowings plus non-redeemable preference shares less cash resources.
6. Revenue to average net operating assets (times) – calculated by dividing revenue by average of opening and closing net operating assets (operating assets less operating liabilities per segment report).
7. Revenue relating to sales of goods to average inventory (times) – revenue relating to sales of goods divided by average of opening and closing inventory.
8. Operating profit to average net operating assets (%) – operating profit divided by average of opening and closing net operating assets.
9. Operating margin (%) – operating profit divided by revenue.
10. Return on average ordinary shareholders’ interest (%) – net profit attributable to owners of Imperial divided by average equity attributable to owners of Imperial (using the opening and closing balances).
11. Return on average ordinary shareholders’ interest (core) (%) – core earnings divided by average equity attributable to owners of Imperial increased by the cumulative core earnings adjustments (using the opening and closing balances).
12. Return on invested capital (%) – return divided by invested capital. Return is calculated using profit after tax and non-controlling interest, increased by the after-tax effects of net finance and exceptional items. Invested capital is a 13-month average of equity attributable to owners of Imperial plus preference shares plus debt (interest-bearing borrowings long term and short term minus long-term loans receivable) minus non-financial services cash resources
13. Weighted average cost of capital (%) – calculated by multiplying the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight and then summing, therefore: WACC = (after tax cost of debt % X debt weighting) plus (cost of equity multiplied by average equity weighti
14. Free cash flow to headline earnings ratio – free cash flow divided by headline earnings.
15. Total taxes and levies paid – made up of SA normal taxation, secondary tax on companies, foreign taxation, rates and taxes, skills development and unemployment insurance fund levies.
16. Earnings yield (%) – the headline earnings per share divided by the closing price of a share.
17. Price earnings ratio (times) – the closing price of a share divided by the headline earnings per share.
18. Net asset value per share – equity attributable to owners of Imperial excluding non-controlling interest divided by total ordinary and preferred ordinary shares in issue net of shares repurchased. (The deferred ordinary shares only participate to the extent of their par value of 0,04 cents.)
19. Total market capitalisation at closing prices (Rm) – total ordinary shares in issue before treasury shares multiplied by the closing price per share.
