Experian Annual Report 2010 Financial statements118
Notes to the Group nancial statements (continued)
14. Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
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 potentially dilutive effect of employee share incentive plans. The
earnings gures used in the calculations are unchanged for diluted earnings per share.
