12 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per ordinary share was calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding own shares held. Diluted
earnings per ordinary share was calculated by dividing the basic earnings, which require no adjustment for the effects
of dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding own
shares held, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of dilutive
potential ordinary shares.
