(1) In 2007, NOVA Chemicals changed its accounting for its interest in the European accounts receivable securitization program, undertaken by the European joint venture in 2006. Accounts receivable securitization transactions are recorded as sales of assets based on the transfer of control to the purchaser as opposed to financing. Also in 2007, NOVA Chemicals reclassified the current portion of stock-based compensation and pension assets from Deferred credits and long-term liabilities to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Investments and other assets, respectively, in 2006 and 2005. In addition, $65 million was reclassified from Restricted cash all other assets to Long-term debt in 2006 and 2005.
(2) In addition to providing measures in accordance with Canadian GAAP, NOVA Chemicals presents certain supplemental measures. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP, and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to measures provided by other companies. Certain of these measures are defined on page 54 of the Management’s Discussion & Analysis.
(3) Long-term debt includes current portion of long-term debt.
(4) Common shareholders’ equity divided by outstanding common shares. Years prior to 2005 assume the retractable preferred shares were exchanged for common shares to a maximum of 8.5 million. Effective September 2005, the preferred shares are no longer convertible to common shares.
(5) Net income (loss) divided by average common equity.
(6) Excludes approximately 450 NOVA Chemicals’ employees who have been transferred to INEOS NOVA.
