  1. Q4 2012 operating income growth reflects the impact of higher exceptional charges in the 2011 period of USD 1.0 billion, principally due to USD 0.9 billion as a result of exceptional charges relating to Tekturna/Rasilez.
  2. Core results, constant currencies, and free cash flow are non-IFRS measures. An explanation of these non-IFRS measures and reconciliation tables can be found beginning on page 45 of the Condensed Financial Report.
