| Earnings/(Loss) Per Share | Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
(a)These are the weighted number of ordinary shares for the years presented. The increase in 2024 was mainly due to 12 651 525 shares issued on 4 April 2024 as part of the new Harmony ESOP scheme. Refer to note 22 for the actual number of treasury shares that are in issue. (b)These are the weighted number of treasury shares for the years presented. The increase in 2025 was due to the ESOP plan shares being weighted for a full 12-month period in 2025 compared to a five-month period in 2024. The impact of the shares on the basic weighted average number of shares was 12 404 035 in 2025 (2024: 5 219 618). Refer to note 22 for the actual number of treasury shares that are in issue. 12Earnings per share continued Diluted earnings per share For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares as a result of share options granted to employees under the share option schemes in issue. A calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, determined as the average annual market share price of the company's shares, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
(a)The issue price and the exercise of share options issued to the employees include the fair value of any services to be supplied to the entity in the future under the share option or other share-based payment arrangements. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares in 2024 was as a result of the significant increase in the Harmony share price during the year. This impacted the base as well as the percentage applied to it to determine the bonus element. As a result, there were a larger number of dilutive shares across all active shares schemes, with the exception of the new ESOP scheme, which were anti-dilutive. This, combined with the 2023 deferred share plan implemented in September 2023, resulted in an increase in the diluted shares. The inclusion of the share options as potential ordinary shares had a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
