We define EBITDA as net profit/(loss), as determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization (other than for programming rights), impairment charges and reversals on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net value of disposed property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, revenue obtained from interest, finance costs, positive/(negative) exchange rate differences, income taxes and share of net results of joint ventures. The reconciling item between EBITDA and reported operating profit/ (loss) is depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges and reversals on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and net value of disposed property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

(2)                 

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the disposals of our stakes of shares in Modivo S.A. CKS Ossa Sp. z o.o., and Ossa Medical Center Sp. z o.o. and 50% of our stakes of shares in Port Praski City II sp. z o.o. and Port Praski Medical Center sp. z o.o in 2022 as well as the costs of supporting Ukraine incurred in 2022.

("Asseco"), in which the Company holds a 22.95% stake. According to Asseco's current report No. 6/2023 dated March 20, 2023, Asseco's previously disclosed estimated consolidated net profit may be subject to change due to ongoing analyses, which in turn may translate into the level of the Group's consolidated net profit.
