The fiscal year is the calendar year.

Since fiscal year 1999 the financial statements are drawn up in € (euros).

¹ EBITDA: EBIT plus amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. EBITDA, EBITDA before special items and EBITDA margin are not defined in the International Financial Reporting Standards and should therefore be regarded only as supplementary information. The company considers underlying EBITDA to be a more suitable indicator of operating performance since it is not affected by depreciation, amortization, write-downs/write-backs or special items. The company also believes that this indicator gives readers a clearer picture of the results of operations and ensures greater comparability of data over time. The underlying EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing underlying EBITDA by sales. See also Annual Report 2009 Chapter “Calculation of EBIT(DA) Before Special Items”.
² EBIT as shown in the income statement
³ Earnings per share as defined in IAS 33 = net income divided by the average number of shares. For details see Annual Report 2009 Note [16] to the consolidated financial statements. 
⁴ Core earnings per share is not defined in the International Financial Reporting Standards. The company believes that this indicator gives readers a clearer picture of the results of operations and ensures greater comparability of data over time. The calculation of core earnings per share is explained in Annual Report 2009 Chapter "Core Earnings Per Share".
⁵ Gross cash flow = income from continuing operations after taxes, plus income taxes, plus non-operating result, minus income taxes paid or accrued, plus depreciation, amortization and write-downs, minus write-backs, plus/minus changes in pension provisions, minus gains/plus losses on retirements of noncurrent assets, plus non-cash effects of the remeasurement of acquired assets. The change in pension provisions includes the elimination of non-cash components of the operating result. It also contains benefit payments during the year. See also Annual Report 2009 Chapter “Liquidity and Capital Expenditures of the Bayer Group.”.
⁶ Net cash flow = cash flow from operating activities according to IAS 7
