Change in definition of adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1)

Report this content

Hexagon AB has changed its definition of adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1), with the purpose of bringing greater clarity to the operating result and to increase comparability with industry peers operating under different financial reporting practices. As of the fourth quarter 2021, adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1) will exclude amortisation of surplus values in the purchase price allocation (PPA).

The previously announced financial target of reaching an adjusted operating margin (EBIT1) of over 30 per cent by 2026 will continue to include amortisation of surplus values (PPA), i.e., there has been no change in the target or Hexagon’s confidence in reaching it.

Accounting impact of the acquisition of Infor’s EAM business

In the fourth quarter of 2021, amortisation of surplus values (PPA) is estimated to amount to approximately 23 MEUR, whereof 9 MEUR relates to the acquisition of Infor’s EAM business. In addition, the revenue recognition adjustment of deferred revenue related to the acquisition of Infor’s EAM business is estimated to amount to 14 MEUR over the next twelve months, of which 5 MEUR will impact the fourth quarter of 2021. As previously announced, total non-recurring transaction and integration costs, including non-cash impairments related to overlapping technologies, are estimated to amount to around 161 MEUR in the fourth quarter 2021.
