| (4) | The definition of special items has been amended from fiscal 2024 to exclude the price fair value adjustment of plantations, which was previously included as part of special items. The price fair value adjustment of plantations is therefore included in the current year’s EBITDA excluding special items and operating profit (loss) excluding special items. The prior year comparatives for special items continue to include the price fair value adjustment of plantations. |
