Net loss decreased to $5.8m compared to $39.1m in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher revenue and more efficient business processes throughout the organisation and reflective of $33.5m in restructuring and other charges offset by a $34.5m gain on re-measurement of Euro denominated debt.

Consolidated attributable EBITDA increased 8 percent to $340.4m from $314.8m in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher revenue and increased efficiency throughout the organisation. Consolidated AEBITDA margin was 40.3 percent.
