The management adjusts certain expenses and incomes for operational management purposes. Hence, the following results, which are adjusted by these expenses, reflect the Management Board’s perspective. Since the fiscal year 2020, only those expenses and income are adjusted within operating profit (EBIT) that are related to a business combination.

In fiscal year 2021 and 2020, no adjustments were made within EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets).

As in prior years, depreciation of property, plant and equipment from purchase price allocations in the amount of EUR 1.533 thousand (2020: EUR 3.485 thousand) within EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of intangible assets) and amortization of intangible assets in the amount of EUR 20.160 thousand (2020: EUR 21.660 thousand) from purchase price allocations within EBIT were adjusted.

Expenses from the transformation program ‘Get on track’, which were recognized in the amount of EUR 127 thousand (2020: EUR 25,222 thousand) within employee benefit expenses and in the amount of EUR 1,330 thousand (2020: EUR 3,856 thousand) within other operating expenses in fiscal year 2021, were not adjusted in fiscal years 2021 and 2020 and are included in EBIT.

The theoretical taxes resulting from the adjustments are calculated using the respective tax rate of each Group entity and are taken into consideration in adjusted earnings after taxes.

The following table shows profit or loss net of these expenses:
