## How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

Importantly, our data indicates that Avantor's profit received a boost of US$357m in unusual items, over the last year. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Avantor had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to June 2025. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power.

## Our Take On Avantor's Profit Performance

As previously mentioned, Avantor's large boost from unusual items won't be there indefinitely, so its statutory earnings are probably a poor guide to its underlying profitability.

The silver lining is that its EPS growth over the last year has been really wonderful, even if it's not a perfect measure.
