Note* for restructuring costs
Restructuring costs have been treated as a material item due to their nature,
i.e. unusual item not expected to occur on a regular basis and their size. This
means they will be shown as a separate item on the statement of profit or loss,
rather than be part of other operating expenses. They are not a regular
operating expense of the business.
