BELL FOOD GROUP AG Alternative performance measures
First half-year 2023
In its annual reports, interim reports and notices to investors and analysts, the Bell Food Group uses alternative performance measures that are not defined by the Accounting and Reporting Recommendations (Swiss GAAP ARR). It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and of the Group Executive Board that these indicators provide useful and relevant information about the Group's operating and financial performance. The alternative performance measures used by the Bell Food Group may not be comparable to similar indicators utilised by other companies. In this document, the alternative performance measures used by the Bell Food Group are explained and reconciled with the Swiss GAAP ARR key figures.
Alternative performance measures Bell Food Group first half-year 2023
Performance
Development of volumes and income statement
The Bell Food Group compares the development of sales volume and selected income statement items to the previous year with regard to:
Exchange rate effects
The Bell Food Group calculates the exchange rate effects by translating the prior-year figures into CHF using the current average rates. The difference to the prior year's CHF values expresses the exchange rate effect.
Inorganic effects
Acquisitions and disposals of companies or parts of companies are summarised as inorganic effects. The effects of acquisitions on the current period are reported separately. The prior- year figures are adjusted for disposals. This adjustment is done on a pro rata basis from the date of acquisition or disposal.
Organic development
Organic development refers to the change from the previous year after adjustment to account for exchange rate effects and inorganic effects. As exchange rate developments do not have any effect on sales volumes, organic development is only adjusted for inorganic effects. Organic development expressed as a percentage is calculated on the basis of the reported prior-year figures.

Adjusted key performance indicators: EBITDA, EBIT, half-year result
To improve comparability with other periods, reported EBITDA, EBIT and half-year result are adjusted for once-off effects in periods in which once-off effects occurred.
Once-off effects
The Bell Food Group defines once-off effects as expenses or income that are part of the operating result but only occur rarely. To improve comparability with other companies and periods, these indicators are adjusted for once-off effects. The tax consequences of once-off effects are not adjusted.
In the first half of 2023 and 2022, there were no once-off effects to be adjusted for. The reported key figures therefore correspond to the adjusted key figures.
