Post-tax return on average capital employed (ROCE) 15.0 % 15.0 % This is calculated as annualised underlying
operating profit after tax divided by average
capital employed. Capital employed is the total of
equity shareholders' funds, net debt and pension
deficit adjusted for the cumulative impact of non
-underlying items such as amortisation of acquired
intangibles. The average is calculated based on the
capital employed at the beginning and end of the 12
month period to the reporting date. Capital
employed is also adjusted to reflect the timing of
acquisitions during the 12 month period. Annualised
operating profit is calculated by adding the HY1
figure to the prior year's HY2 figure calculated as
noted above by subtracting the prior year's HY1
figure from the FY figure.
