¹	The figures for fiscal year 2019 have been influenced by the initial application of the leasing standard IFRS 16. This affects especially the following positions: EBITDA (+€64 million), property, plant, and equipment (+€177 million), other liabilities (+€177 million), and key figures derived therefrom.
²	The figures as of December 31, 2018, as well as December 31, 2019, have been amended due to the finalization of the purchase price allocation for the Coppertone business and due to an adjustment to the valuation of an acquisition made in 2018 in the tesa Business Segment.
