1 Following the implementation of IFRS 16, we have reviewed emerging practice and have updated our definition of Net debt to include lease obligations. The comparative position has been revised to include lease liabilities, net of accrued interest, of US$200m. Lease obligation disposals in the year ended 31 March 2021 of US$8m, previously reported within exchange and other movements, are now recorded within non-cash lease obligation additions and disposals.
