from USD 2,506&nbsp;million as announced on 27&nbsp;February 2017 to USD 2,420&nbsp;million. The change is due to the company completing the purchase price allocation pertaining to the formation of the Joint Venture in Italy. International Financial
Reporting Standards require having such purchase price allocations completed within 12&nbsp;months after the date of completion of the transaction. As a result, the company has increased the depreciation and amortization expenses included in the
share of results of joint ventures for the period of 5&nbsp;November 2016 to 31&nbsp;December 2016 by USD 86&nbsp;million as compared to FY 2016 results announced on 27&nbsp;February 2017. Consequently, the share of results of joint ventures for the
period of 5&nbsp;November 2016 to 31&nbsp;December 2016 has changed from USD 145&nbsp;million as announced on 27&nbsp;February 2017 to USD 59&nbsp;million. This <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> adjustment had no impact on reported
