106 Experian Annual Report 2009
12. Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company
by a weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year (excluding own shares held in employee trusts,
which are treated as cancelled).
The calculation of diluted earnings per share reects the potential dilutive effect of employee share incentive plans.
The earnings gures used in the calculations are unchanged for diluted earnings per share.
