Methodology
Every line item above is a fact tagged in ABERDEEN GROUP PLC's annual report
filed in the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) under the IFRS
taxonomy (ifrs-full) — the income statement, balance sheet
and cash-flow statement as the filer reported them. Values are shown
as-is, in the reporting currency (GBP), without
rescaling; the row labels map to the underlying concept name (e.g.
Revenue → ifrs-full:Revenue, Operating profit →
ifrs-full:ProfitLossFromOperatingActivities, Diluted EPS →
ifrs-full:DilutedEarningsLossPerShare), and any concept
without a curated label is shown under “Other reported items” with its
de-camel-cased tag name. Only consolidated, default-member facts are
shown (segment / dimensional breakdowns are excluded).
“Derived metrics” (free cash flow, margins, ROE, …) are computed from those facts by the same model the U.S. financials pages use — not tagged by the filer.
