MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2013 Financial Results
Please see “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “New Accounting Standards ”, in “Accounting Policies” in this MD&A, and the Notes to our 2013
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for important accounting policies and estimates as they relate to the following discussion.
We use several key performance indicators to measure our performance against our strategies and the results of our peers and competitors. Many
of these are not defined terms under IFRS and so should not be considered as alternative measures to net income or any other financial measure of
performance under IFRS. See “Key Performance Indicators” and “Non-GAAP Measures” for more information.

1 Adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, pre-tax free cash flow and after-tax free cash flow are non-GAA P measures and should not be
considered as a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures. These are not defined terms under IFRS and do not have standard meanings, so may not be a rel iable way to compare
us to other companies. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for information about these measures, including how we calculate them.
