Line
of business results
In this section we discuss the operating
results of the lines of business for 2008, 2007 and 2006. In addition
to measuring financial performance of the lines of business based on
the operating profit before specific items, we also measure the performance
of the lines of business based upon the EBITDA before specific items.
For further discussion of specific
items and EBITDA see Alternative performance measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA before specific items
to group operating profit (loss) by line of business, and for the group,
is provided in the table on
the next page.
