Performance
46
Reconciliation of net finance expense and net
interest cash outflow
Net interest cash outflow of £692m (2011/12: £685m, 2010/11:
£944m) is £39m higher (2011/12: £4m, 2010/11: £99m) than the net
finance expense in the income statement. This is mostly due to certain
interest cash outflows and inflows being spread over a number of years
in the income statement.

Earnings per share
Adjusted earnings per share increased by 12% to 26.6p principally
reflecting the growth in profit before tax. Adjusted profit before tax was
£2,694m, up 11% reflecting the higher EBITDA, lower depreciation and
amortisation and lower net finance expense.
Adjusted earnings per share, which is defined on page 171, is one of our
key performance indicators. It is an important measure of the overall
profitability of our business, as detailed in Key performance indicators
on page 4.
