~~Retail~~# # # ~~– Rest of World~~

~~The~~Page ~~segment~~2 ~~Retail – Rest~~ of ~~World sustained the good performance of the preceding quarter with a like-for-like sales growth of 6.8%.~~3 This growth was driven by positive mix and pricing which was slightly offset by a minor decrease in volumes. Australia sustained its excellent performance, Thailand continued to improve its market share to above pre-flooding levels and Brazil delivered a solid performance. In Hungary, however, the Company continued to suffer from the country’s poor market circumstances while Poland was impacted by aggressive pricing from competition.

Appendix 1

EXPLANATION OF NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Trading Statement refers to like-for-like sales growth and underlying EBIT margin, which are measures that are not recognized under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has included these measures as the Company uses these measures in operating its business and because it believes that these measures are useful to investors, and other users of its financial information, in helping them to understand the company’s underlying business performance. The definition of these non-IFRS measures are as follows:

Like-for-like sales represents sales, excluding green coffee export sales, calculated at the exchange rate for the most recent period and adjusted to eliminate acquisitions to the extent they are not included in both periods.

Underlying EBIT represents profit for the period before share of profit from associates, finance income / (costs), income tax expense and adjusted to exclude income or charges that management believes are unrelated to its core operating results and that are excluded in determining segment profits as well as items that the Company deems to be non-recurring.

The following tables provide reconciliation between total segment sales and like-for-like total segment sales.
