    The Company presents in the consolidated income statement a subtotal ‘Operating profit (loss) before impairment losses, net gains/losses due to changes in the value of assets, gains/losses on disposals of non-current assets and other losses’. The Company uses this subtotal in their analysis of the performance of the Company. In accordance with IAS 1.85a, modified in December 2014, when an entity presents subtotals, those subtotals shall (i) be composed of line items made up of amounts recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS, (ii) be presented and labelled in a manner that makes the line items that constitute the subtotal clear and understandable, (iii) be consistent from period to period and (iv) not be displayed with more prominence than the subtotals and totals required in IFRS for the statement presenting profit or loss. Consequently, the Company, concluded that the presentation of this subtotal in the face of the consolidated income statement is essential for the understanding the financial performance of the Company.
