MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Mark-to-Market Value
We record our derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted, mark-to-
market valuation, in accordance with IFRS. The estimated credit-
adjusted values of the derivatives are subject to changes in credit
spreads between us and our counterparties. The table below shows the
net asset of our derivative instruments at December 31, 2013:

make capital structure related decisions. Adjusted net debt includes
long-term debt, net debt derivatives liabilities (assets), short-term
borrowings and cash and cash equivalents.

3 Adjusted net debt is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered as a
substitute or alternative for GAAP measures. This is not a defined term under IFRS,
and does not have a standard meaning, so may not be a reliable way to compare us
to other companies. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for information about this measure,
including how we calculate it.
