1 Including shares and BDR buybacks. We calculate dividend yield as the announced dividend per share divided by the NASDAQ share price in US$ on the announcement date (dividend yield = dividend per share / share price at announcement date). The buyback yield is calculated as the total value of shares repurchased in the period divided by the average market capitalization on a given year in each case using the NASDAQ share price (buyback yield = buybacks reported / average market capitalization for a given year). The dividend yield + buyback yield is the sum of the dividend yield and the buyback yield for the reporting period
