The return on invested capital (ROIC) calculation has been re-stated for all years to reflect the updated methodology used internally by management. The return is calculated as adjusted operating profit less actual operating cash tax paid in each year (rather than a notional 15% cash tax deduction) and the invested capital is the average monthly amount throughout the year rather than the year end balance.
