Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 
 
1.    General information 
 
Paddy Power plc ('the Company') is a company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland.  The condensed consolidated interim
financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as 'the Group').  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited but have been
reviewed by the auditor, whose report is set out on the last page of this document. 
 
The financial information presented herein does not comprise full statutory financial statements and therefore does not
include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.  Full statutory financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2013, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') as adopted
by the EU together with an unqualified audit report thereon and no emphasis of matter under Section 193 of the Companies
Act 1990, will be annexed to the annual return and filed with the Registrar of Companies.  They are available from the
Company, from the website www.paddypowerplc.com and, when filed, from the Registrar of Companies. 
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Paddy Power plc on 27
August 2014. 
 
2.    Basis of preparation and accounting policies 
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Transparency (Directive
2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, the Transparency Rules of the Republic of Ireland's Financial Regulator and with IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU.  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared
on the historical cost basis except for betting transactions and forward foreign exchange contracts (which are recorded as
derivative financial instruments), contingent deferred consideration and certain share-based payments, all of which are
stated at fair value (grant date fair value in the case of equity-settled share-based payments).  The condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Euro, the Company's functional currency, rounded to the nearest
thousand. 
 
The financial information contained in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies set out in the Group's last annual financial statements in respect of the year
ended 31 December 2013, except as set out below. 
 
The Group has adopted the following accounting policies, standards and interpretations during the period ended 30 June
2014: 
 
IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements' 
 
IFRS 11, 'Joint Arrangements' 
 
IFRS 12, 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' 
 
IAS 27 (2011), 'Separate Financial Statements' 
 
IAS 28 (2011), 'Investments in Associates' 
 
IFRIC 21, 'Levies' 
 
The adoption of the above new standards and interpretations did not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated
financial statements. 
 
Amendments to existing standards 
 
During the period, a number of amendments to existing accounting standards became effective.  These have been considered by
the directors and have not had a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. 
 
3.    Judgements and estimates 
 
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that
applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013. 
 
4.    Operating segments 
 
The Group's reportable segments are divisions that are managed separately, due to a combination of factors including method
of service delivery (online, retail shops, telephone), geographical location and the different services provided. 
 
(a)  Reportable business segment information 
 
The Group considers that its reportable segments are as follows: 
 
 - Online (ex Australia);  
 - Online Australia;       
 - UK Retail;              
 - Irish Retail; and       
 - Telephone.              
 
 
The Online (ex Australia), UK Retail, Irish Retail and Telephone segments derive their revenues primarily from sports
betting and/or gaming (gaming machines, games, casino, bingo and poker) and business to business ('B2B') services.  Online
(ex Australia) services are delivered primarily through the internet, Telephone through the public telephony system and UK
and Irish Retail through licensed bookmaking shop estates.  The Online (ex Australia) and Telephone segments derive their
revenues primarily from the UK and Ireland, the UK Retail segment from retail outlets in Great Britain and Northern Ireland
and Irish Retail from retail outlets in the Republic of Ireland.  The Online Australia segment earns its revenues from
sports betting services provided to Australian customers using primarily the internet with a small proportion using the
public telephony system. 
 
The accounting policies in respect of operating segments reporting are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies set out in the Company's last annual financial statements in respect of the year ended 31
December 2013.  There was no inter-segment trading in the six months ended 30 June 2014.  Central operating expenses are
allocated to reportable segments based on internal management allocation methodologies.  Any expenses that are not directly
allocated to reportable segments in internal management reports are shown in the reconciliation of reportable segments to
Group totals.  The Group does not allocate income tax expense or interest to reportable segments.  Treasury management is
centralised for the Online (ex Australia), UK Retail, Irish Retail and Telephone segments.  The Online Australia segment
manages its own treasury function under Group Treasury oversight.  Assets and liabilities information is reported
internally in total and not by reportable segment and, accordingly, no information is provided in this note on assets and
liabilities split by reportable segment.

(1) The non-Online Australia segments comprise the Online (ex Australia), UK Retail, Irish Retail and Telephone operating
segments.  Financial expense relating to these segments is primarily in respect of guarantee and facility fees, other
interest amounts payable and the unwinding of discounts on provisions and other non-current liabilities. 
 
(b)  Geographical segment information 
 
The Group considers that its primary geographic segments are 'UK', 'Australia' and 'Ireland and rest of world'.  The UK
geographic segment consists of the UK Retail bookmaking business, online and telephone sports betting from UK customers and
online gaming from UK customers.  The Australia geographic segment consists primarily of online sports betting, plus a
small proportion of telephone sports betting, from Australian customers.  The Ireland and rest of world geographic segment
is composed of the Irish Retail bookmaking business, online and telephone sports betting from Irish and rest of world
customers, online gaming from Irish and rest of world customers and B2B services provided to rest of world customers. 
Revenues from customers outside the UK, Australia and Ireland are not considered sufficiently significant to warrant
separate reporting.
