DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
Methodology for translation and presentation of results
Under IFRS, CLH reports its consolidated results in its functional currency, which is the US Dollar, by translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using the corresponding exchange rate at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the corresponding exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement.
For the reader’s convenience, Colombian peso amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the US dollar amounts using the closing COP/US$ exchange rate at the reporting date for balance sheet purposes, and the average COP/US$ exchange rate for the corresponding period for income statement purposes. The exchange rates used to convert: (i) the balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $2,585.11 and $1,881.19 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated results for the second quarter of 2015 and for the second quarter of 2014 were $2,502.32 and $1,905.66 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively.
Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.”
Consolidated financial information
When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
