Note 13.4. Earnings per share – Group share
Accounting principles
Earnings per share correspond to the ratio of Net income – Group
share divided by the Number of shares. The Number of shares
corresponds to the average number of outstanding shares during
the year, after deducting the treasury shares held by the Company
and its fully-consolidated subsidiaries.
Earnings per share after dilution (or diluted earnings per share)
correspond to the ratio of Net income – Group share divided by the
Diluted number of shares. The Diluted number of shares corres-
ponds to the Number of shares increased by the net impact, when
it is positive, of the following two elements:
•
the increase in the weighted average number of shares that
would result from:
• the exercise of stock-options, taking into account only those
options in the money on the basis of the average price during
the reference period,
• the acquisition of Group performance shares, taking into
account only those shares whose performance conditions
are met as of the closing date,
•
the reduction in the number of shares that could theoretically
be acquired.
In accordance with the treasury stock method specified by IAS 33,
Earnings per Share
.
Diluted earnings per share do not take into account DANONE call
options held by the Company.
