Basic earnings per ordinary share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The average number of shares outstanding excludes treasury shares and the shares
held by the Employee Share Ownership Plan trusts (ESOPs) and includes certain shares that will be issuable in the future under employee share-based
payment plans.
For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the dilutive effect of
shares that are potentially issuable in connection with employee share-based payment plans using the treasury stock method.
