ADJUSTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR ALMA MEDIA'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS FOR 2019

Alma Media adjusts its consolidated income statement and segment results for 2019 due to the divestment of the regional news media business and the printing business. Alma Media reported the divested businesses as discontinued operations in the financial statements for 2019. The divested businesses were previously reported primarily under the Alma Consumer segment. The post-divestment estimated and fixed costs related to support services have been allocated to the continuing operations.
