2. ADJUSTED PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Spectris uses adjusted figures as key performance measures in addition to those reported under IFRS. Adjusted figures are stated before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill charges, profits or losses on termination or disposal of businesses or major fixed assets, unrealised changes in the fair value of financial instruments, related tax effects and other tax items which do not form part of the underlying tax rate (see Note 6).

The adjusted performance measures are derived from the reported figures under IFRS as follows:
