adjusted for the effect of special items and remeasurements, and any related
tax and minority interests. Special items include those items of financial
performance which the Group believes should be excluded from underlying
financial performance, and principally relate to impairment and significant
closure costs, exceptional legal provisions and profit or loss on disposals.
Remeasurements include adjustments to ensure that the unrealised gains or
losses on non-hedge derivative instruments are recorded in underlying earnings
in the same period as the underlying transaction against which these
instruments provide an economic, but not formally designated, hedge.
