Earnings per share
16 Earnings per share
The Group has applied the option from IAS 32 to recognize some of the Group’s ordinary shares held as underlying assets of direct participation contracts as if they were financial assets. These shares are treated as outstanding shares (i.e. not treasury shares) and therefore not deducted from the number of shares outstanding.
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net result attributable to owners, after the deduction of coupons on perpetual securities, by the weighted average number of common shares, excluding common shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares (see note
25.1 Share capital – par value
and
25.3 Treasury shares
respectively).
