International Accounting Standard 33
Earnings per Share
This version includes amendments resulting from IFRSs issued up to 31 December 2008.
IAS 33 Earnings Per Share was issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in February 1997.
The Standing Interpretations Committee developed SIC-24 Earnings Per Share—Financial Instruments and Other Contracts that May Be Settled in Shares (issued November 2000).
In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) resolved that all Standards and Interpretations issued
under previous Constitutions continued to be applicable unless and until they were amended or withdrawn.
In December 2003 the IASB issued a revised IAS 33 with a modified title—Earnings per Share. The revised standard also replaced SIC-24.
Since then, IAS 33 and its accompanying documents have been amended by the following IFRSs:
• IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (issued February 2004)
• IFRS 3 Business Combinations (issued March 2004)
• IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (issued August 2005)
• IFRS 8 Operating Segments (issued November 2006)1
2• IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in September 2007)
3• IFRS 3 Business Combinations (as revised in January 2008)
4• IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (as amended in January 2008).

International Accounting Standard 33 Earnings per Share (IAS 33) is set out in paragraphs 1–76 and Appendices A and B. All the paragraphs have equal authority but retain the IASC format of the Standard when it was adopted by the IASB. IAS
33 should be read in the context of its objective and the Basis for Conclusions, the Preface to International Financial Reporting Standards and the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in
the absence of explicit guidance.

IAS 33
Introduction
IN1 International Accounting Standard 33 Earnings per Share (IAS 33) replaces IAS 33 Earnings Per Share (issued
in 1997), and should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. Earlier application is
encouraged. The Standard also replaces SIC-24 Earnings Per Share—Financial Instruments and Other
Contracts that May Be Settled in Shares.
Reasons for revising IAS 33
IN2 The International Accounting Standards Board has developed this revised IAS 33 as part of its project on
Improvements to International Accounting Standards. The project was undertaken in the light of queries and
criticisms raised in relation to the Standards by securities regulators, professional accountants and other
interested parties. The objectives of the project were to reduce or eliminate alternatives, redundancies and
conflicts within the Standards, to deal with some convergence issues and to make other improvements.
IN3 For IAS 33 the Board’s main objective was a limited revision to provide additional guidance and illustrative
examples on selected complex matters, such as the effects of contingently issuable shares; potential ordinary
shares of subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates; participating equity instruments; written put options;
purchased put and call options; and mandatorily convertible instruments. The Board did not reconsider the
fundamental approach to the determination and presentation of earnings per share contained in IAS 33.

International Accounting Standard 33
Earnings per Share Objective
1 The objective of this Standard is to prescribe principles for the determination and presentation of earnings per
share, so as to improve performance comparisons between different entities in the same reporting period and
between different reporting periods for the same entity. Even though earnings per share data have limitations
because of the different accounting policies that may be used for determining ‘earnings’, a consistently
determined denominator enhances financial reporting. The focus of this Standard is on the denominator of the
earnings per share calculation.
Scope
2 This Standard shall apply to
(a) the separate or individual financial statements of an entity:
(i) whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are traded in a public market (a
domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local and
regional markets) or
(ii) that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities
commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing ordinary
shares in a public market; and
(b) the consolidated financial statements of a group with a parent:
(i) whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are traded in a public market (a
domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local and
regional markets) or
(ii) that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities
commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing ordinary
shares in a public market. 3 An entity that discloses earnings per share shall calculate and disclose earnings per share in accordance
with this Standard.
4 When an entity presents both consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements
prepared in accordance with IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the disclosures
required by this Standard need be presented only on the basis of the consolidated information. An entity
that chooses to disclose earnings per share based on its separate financial statements shall present such
earnings per share information only in its statement of comprehensive income. An entity shall not present
such earnings per share information in the consolidated financial statements.
4A If an entity presents the components of profit or loss in a separate income statement as described in
paragraph 81 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007), it presents earnings per
share only in that separate statement.
Definitions
5 The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:
Antidilution is an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in loss per share resulting from the
assumption that convertible instruments are converted, that options or warrants are exercised, or that
ordinary shares are issued upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.
A contingent share agreement is an agreement to issue shares that is dependent on the satisfaction of
specified conditions.
Contingently issuable ordinary shares are ordinary shares issuable for little or no cash or other
consideration upon the satisfaction of specified conditions in a contingent share agreement.
? IASCF 5
IAS 33
Dilution is a reduction in earnings per share or an increase in loss per share resulting from the
assumption that convertible instruments are converted, that options or warrants are exercised, or that
ordinary shares are issued upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.
Options, warrants and their equivalents are financial instruments that give the holder the right to purchase
ordinary shares.
An ordinary share is an equity instrument that is subordinate to all other classes of equity instruments.
A potential ordinary share is a financial instrument or other contract that may entitle its holder to
ordinary shares.
Put options on ordinary shares are contracts that give the holder the right to sell ordinary shares at a
specified price for a given period.
6 Ordinary shares participate in profit for the period only after other types of shares such as preference shares
have participated. An entity may have more than one class of ordinary shares. Ordinary shares of the same class
have the same rights to receive dividends.
7 Examples of potential ordinary shares are:
(a) financial liabilities or equity instruments, including preference shares, that are convertible into
ordinary shares;
(b) options and warrants;
(c) shares that would be issued upon the satisfaction of conditions resulting from contractual
arrangements, such as the purchase of a business or other assets. 8 Terms defined in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation are used in this Standard with the meanings
specified in paragraph 11 of IAS 32, unless otherwise noted. IAS 32 defines financial instrument, financial asset,
financial liability, equity instrument and fair value, and provides guidance on applying those definitions. Measurement
Basic earnings per share
9 An entity shall calculate basic earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable to ordinary
equity holders of the parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing operations
attributable to those equity holders.
10 Basic earnings per share shall be calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent entity (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding (the denominator) during the period.
11 The objective of basic earnings per share information is to provide a measure of the interests of each ordinary
share of a parent entity in the performance of the entity over the reporting period.
Earnings
12 For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the amounts attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent entity in respect of:
(a) profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity; and
(b) profit or loss attributable to the parent entity
shall be the amounts in (a) and (b) adjusted for the after-tax amounts of preference dividends, differences
arising on the settlement of preference shares, and other similar effects of preference shares classified as
equity.
13 All items of income and expense attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity that are recognised
in a period, including tax expense and dividends on preference shares classified as liabilities are included in the
determination of profit or loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity (see IAS
1).
14 The after-tax amount of preference dividends that is deducted from profit or loss is:
(a) the after-tax amount of any preference dividends on non-cumulative preference shares declared in
respect of the period; and 6 ? IASCF
IAS 33
(b) the after-tax amount of the preference dividends for cumulative preference shares required for the
period, whether or not the dividends have been declared. The amount of preference dividends for the
period does not include the amount of any preference dividends for cumulative preference shares paid
or declared during the current period in respect of previous periods. 15 Preference shares that provide for a low initial dividend to compensate an entity for selling the preference shares
at a discount, or an above-market dividend in later periods to compensate investors for purchasing preference
shares at a premium, are sometimes referred to as increasing rate preference shares. Any original issue discount
or premium on increasing rate preference shares is amortised to retained earnings using the effective interest
method and treated as a preference dividend for the purposes of calculating earnings per share. 16 Preference shares may be repurchased under an entity’s tender offer to the holders. The excess of the fair value
of the consideration paid to the preference shareholders over the carrying amount of the preference shares
represents a return to the holders of the preference shares and a charge to retained earnings for the entity. This
amount is deducted in calculating profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity. 17 Early conversion of convertible preference shares may be induced by an entity through favourable changes to
the original conversion terms or the payment of additional consideration. The excess of the fair value of the
ordinary shares or other consideration paid over the fair value of the ordinary shares issuable under the original
conversion terms is a return to the preference shareholders, and is deducted in calculating profit or loss
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity.
18 Any excess of the carrying amount of preference shares over the fair value of the consideration paid to settle
them is added in calculating profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity.
Shares
19 For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares shall be the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
20 Using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period reflects the possibility that
the amount of shareholders’ capital varied during the period as a result of a larger or smaller number of shares
being outstanding at any time. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period is
the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the number of ordinary
shares bought back or issued during the period multiplied by a time-weighting factor. The time-weighting factor
is the number of days that the shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days in the period; a
reasonable approximation of the weighted average is adequate in many circumstances. 21 Shares are usually included in the weighted average number of shares from the date consideration is receivable
(which is generally the date of their issue), for example:
(a) ordinary shares issued in exchange for cash are included when cash is receivable;
(b) ordinary shares issued on the voluntary reinvestment of dividends on ordinary or preference shares are
included when dividends are reinvested;
(c) ordinary shares issued as a result of the conversion of a debt instrument to ordinary shares are
included from the date that interest ceases to accrue;
(d) ordinary shares issued in place of interest or principal on other financial instruments are included from
the date that interest ceases to accrue;
(e) ordinary shares issued in exchange for the settlement of a liability of the entity are included from the
settlement date;
(f) ordinary shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of an asset other than cash are included as
of the date on which the acquisition is recognised; and
(g) ordinary shares issued for the rendering of services to the entity are included as the services are
rendered.
The timing of the inclusion of ordinary shares is determined by the terms and conditions attaching to their issue.
Due consideration is given to the substance of any contract associated with the issue. 22 Ordinary shares issued as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination are included in the
weighted average number of shares from the acquisition date. This is because the acquirer incorporates into its
statement of comprehensive income the acquiree’s profits and losses from that date.
23 Ordinary shares that will be issued upon the conversion of a mandatorily convertible instrument are included in
the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date the contract is entered into.
? IASCF 7
IAS 33
24 Contingently issuable shares are treated as outstanding and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per
share only from the date when all necessary conditions are satisfied (ie the events have occurred). Shares that
are issuable solely after the passage of time are not contingently issuable shares, because the passage of time is a
certainty. Outstanding ordinary shares that are contingently returnable (ie subject to recall) are not treated as
outstanding and are excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share until the date the shares are no
longer subject to recall.
25 [Deleted]
26 The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period and for all periods
presented shall be adjusted for events, other than the conversion of potential ordinary shares, that have
changed the number of ordinary shares outstanding without a corresponding change in resources. 27 Ordinary shares may be issued, or the number of ordinary shares outstanding may be reduced, without a
corresponding change in resources. Examples include:
(a) a capitalisation or bonus issue (sometimes referred to as a stock dividend);
(b) a bonus element in any other issue, for example a bonus element in a rights issue to existing
shareholders;
(c) a share split; and
(d) a reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
28 In a capitalisation or bonus issue or a share split, ordinary shares are issued to existing shareholders for no
additional consideration. Therefore, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased without an increase
in resources. The number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportionate
change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest
period presented. For example, on a two-for-one bonus issue, the number of ordinary shares outstanding before
the issue is multiplied by three to obtain the new total number of ordinary shares, or by two to obtain the number
of additional ordinary shares.
29 A consolidation of ordinary shares generally reduces the number of ordinary shares outstanding without a
corresponding reduction in resources. However, when the overall effect is a share repurchase at fair value, the
reduction in the number of ordinary shares outstanding is the result of a corresponding reduction in resources.
An example is a share consolidation combined with a special dividend. The weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding for the period in which the combined transaction takes place is adjusted for the
reduction in the number of ordinary shares from the date the special dividend is recognised.
Diluted earnings per share
30 An entity shall calculate diluted earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable to ordinary
equity holders of the parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing operations
attributable to those equity holders.
31 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall adjust profit or loss attributable
to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, and the weighted average number of shares outstanding,
for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
32 The objective of diluted earnings per share is consistent with that of basic earnings per share—to provide a
measure of the interest of each ordinary share in the performance of an entity—while giving effect to all dilutive
potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. As a result:
(a) profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity is increased by the after-tax
amount of dividends and interest recognised in the period in respect of the dilutive potential ordinary
shares and is adjusted for any other changes in income or expense that would result from the
conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares; and
(b) the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased by the weighted average
number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Earnings
33 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall adjust profit or loss attributable
to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, as calculated in accordance with paragraph 12, by the
after-tax effect of:
8 ? IASCF
IAS 33
(a) any dividends or other items related to dilutive potential ordinary shares deducted in arriving
at profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity as calculated in
accordance with paragraph 12;
(b) any interest recognised in the period related to dilutive potential ordinary shares; and
(c) any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of the dilutive
potential ordinary shares. 34 After the potential ordinary shares are converted into ordinary shares, the items identified in paragraph 33(a)–(c)
no longer arise. Instead, the new ordinary shares are entitled to participate in profit or loss attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the parent entity. Therefore, profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of
the parent entity calculated in accordance with paragraph 12 is adjusted for the items identified in paragraph
33(a)–(c) and any related taxes. The expenses associated with potential ordinary shares include transaction costs
and discounts accounted for in accordance with the effective interest method (see paragraph 9 of IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, as revised in 2003).
35 The conversion of potential ordinary shares may lead to consequential changes in income or expenses. For
example, the reduction of interest expense related to potential ordinary shares and the resulting increase in profit
or reduction in loss may lead to an increase in the expense related to a non-discretionary employee
profit-sharing plan. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, profit or loss attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the parent entity is adjusted for any such consequential changes in income or expense.
Shares
36 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares shall be the
weighted average number of ordinary shares calculated in accordance with paragraphs 19 and 26, plus
the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares shall be deemed to have
been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the period or, if later, the date of the issue of the
potential ordinary shares.
37 Dilutive potential ordinary shares shall be determined independently for each period presented. The number of
dilutive potential ordinary shares included in the year-to-date period is not a weighted average of the dilutive
potential ordinary shares included in each interim computation.
38 Potential ordinary shares are weighted for the period they are outstanding. Potential ordinary shares that are
cancelled or allowed to lapse during the period are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only
for the portion of the period during which they are outstanding. Potential ordinary shares that are converted into
ordinary shares during the period are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share from the beginning
of the period to the date of conversion; from the date of conversion, the resulting ordinary shares are included in
both basic and diluted earnings per share.
39 The number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of dilutive potential ordinary shares is
determined from the terms of the potential ordinary shares. When more than one basis of conversion exists, the
calculation assumes the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the holder of
the potential ordinary shares.
40 A subsidiary, joint venture or associate may issue to parties other than the parent, venturer or investor potential
ordinary shares that are convertible into either ordinary shares of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate, or
ordinary shares of the parent, venturer or investor (the reporting entity). If these potential ordinary shares of the
subsidiary, joint venture or associate have a dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share of the reporting entity,
they are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Dilutive potential ordinary shares
41 Potential ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary
shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations. 42 An entity uses profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity as the control number to
establish whether potential ordinary shares are dilutive or antidilutive. Profit or loss from continuing operations
attributable to the parent entity is adjusted in accordance with paragraph 12 and excludes items relating to
discontinued operations.
43 Potential ordinary shares are antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per
share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does
not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive
effect on earnings per share.
? IASCF 9
IAS 33
44 In determining whether potential ordinary shares are dilutive or antidilutive, each issue or series of potential
ordinary shares is considered separately rather than in aggregate. The sequence in which potential ordinary
shares are considered may affect whether they are dilutive. Therefore, to maximise the dilution of basic earnings
per share, each issue or series of potential ordinary shares is considered in sequence from the most dilutive to
the least dilutive, ie dilutive potential ordinary shares with the lowest ‘earnings per incremental share’ are
included in the diluted earnings per share calculation before those with a higher earnings per incremental share.
Options and warrants are generally included first because they do not affect the numerator of the calculation.
Options, warrants and their equivalents
45 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall assume the exercise of dilutive
options and warrants of the entity. The assumed proceeds from these instruments shall be regarded as
having been received from the issue of ordinary shares at the average market price of ordinary shares
during the period. The difference between the number of ordinary shares issued and the number of
ordinary shares that would have been issued at the average market price of ordinary shares during the
period shall be treated as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration. 46 Options and warrants are dilutive when they would result in the issue of ordinary shares for less than the average
market price of ordinary shares during the period. The amount of the dilution is the average market price of
ordinary shares during the period minus the issue price. Therefore, to calculate diluted earnings per share,
potential ordinary shares are treated as consisting of both the following:
(a) a contract to issue a certain number of the ordinary shares at their average market price during the
period. Such ordinary shares are assumed to be fairly priced and to be neither dilutive nor antidilutive.
They are ignored in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
(b) a contract to issue the remaining ordinary shares for no consideration. Such ordinary shares generate
no proceeds and have no effect on profit or loss attributable to ordinary shares outstanding. Therefore,
such shares are dilutive and are added to the number of ordinary shares outstanding in the calculation
of diluted earnings per share. 47 Options and warrants have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of ordinary shares during the
period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (ie they are ‘in the money’). Previously reported
earnings per share are not retroactively adjusted to reflect changes in prices of ordinary shares. 47A For share options and other share-based payment arrangements to which IFRS 2 Share-based Payment applies,
the issue price referred to in paragraph 46 and the exercise price referred to in paragraph 47 shall include the fair
value of any goods or services to be supplied to the entity in the future under the share option or other
share-based payment arrangement.
48 Employee share options with fixed or determinable terms and non-vested ordinary shares are treated as options
in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, even though they may be contingent on vesting. They are treated
as outstanding on the grant date. Performance-based employee share options are treated as contingently issuable
shares because their issue is contingent upon satisfying specified conditions in addition to the passage of time.
Convertible instruments
49 The dilutive effect of convertible instruments shall be reflected in diluted earnings per share in accordance with
paragraphs 33 and 36.
50 Convertible preference shares are antidilutive whenever the amount of the dividend on such shares declared in
or accumulated for the current period per ordinary share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per
share. Similarly, convertible debt is antidilutive whenever its interest (net of tax and other changes in income or
expense) per ordinary share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per share. 51 The redemption or induced conversion of convertible preference shares may affect only a portion of the
previously outstanding convertible preference shares. In such cases, any excess consideration referred to in
paragraph 17 is attributed to those shares that are redeemed or converted for the purpose of determining whether
the remaining outstanding preference shares are dilutive. The shares redeemed or converted are considered
separately from those shares that are not redeemed or converted.
Contingently issuable shares
52 As in the calculation of basic earnings per share, contingently issuable ordinary shares are treated as outstanding
and included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the conditions are satisfied (ie the events have
occurred). Contingently issuable shares are included from the beginning of the period (or from the date of the
contingent share agreement, if later). If the conditions are not satisfied, the number of contingently issuable 10 ? IASCF
IAS 33
shares included in the diluted earnings per share calculation is based on the number of shares that would be
issuable if the end of the period were the end of the contingency period. Restatement is not permitted if the
conditions are not met when the contingency period expires.
53 If attainment or maintenance of a specified amount of earnings for a period is the condition for contingent issue
and if that amount has been attained at the end of the reporting period but must be maintained beyond the end of
the reporting period for an additional period, then the additional ordinary shares are treated as outstanding, if the
effect is dilutive, when calculating diluted earnings per share. In that case, the calculation of diluted earnings per
share is based on the number of ordinary shares that would be issued if the amount of earnings at the end of the
reporting period were the amount of earnings at the end of the contingency period. Because earnings may
change in a future period, the calculation of basic earnings per share does not include such contingently issuable
ordinary shares until the end of the contingency period because not all necessary conditions have been satisfied. 54 The number of ordinary shares contingently issuable may depend on the future market price of the ordinary
shares. In that case, if the effect is dilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the number
of ordinary shares that would be issued if the market price at the end of the reporting period were the market
price at the end of the contingency period. If the condition is based on an average of market prices over a period
of time that extends beyond the end of the reporting period, the average for the period of time that has lapsed is
used. Because the market price may change in a future period, the calculation of basic earnings per share does
not include such contingently issuable ordinary shares until the end of the contingency period because not all
necessary conditions have been satisfied.
55 The number of ordinary shares contingently issuable may depend on future earnings and future prices of the
ordinary shares. In such cases, the number of ordinary shares included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation is based on both conditions (ie earnings to date and the current market price at the end of the
reporting period). Contingently issuable ordinary shares are not included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation unless both conditions are met.
56 In other cases, the number of ordinary shares contingently issuable depends on a condition other than earnings
or market price (for example, the opening of a specific number of retail stores). In such cases, assuming that the
present status of the condition remains unchanged until the end of the contingency period, the contingently
issuable ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share according to the status at
the end of the reporting period.
57 Contingently issuable potential ordinary shares (other than those covered by a contingent share agreement, such
as contingently issuable convertible instruments) are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as
follows:
(a) an entity determines whether the potential ordinary shares may be assumed to be issuable on the basis
of the conditions specified for their issue in accordance with the contingent ordinary share provisions
in paragraphs 52–56; and
(b) if those potential ordinary shares should be reflected in diluted earnings per share, an entity
determines their impact on the calculation of diluted earnings per share by following the provisions
for options and warrants in paragraphs 45–48, the provisions for convertible instruments in
paragraphs 49–51, the provisions for contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash in
paragraphs 58–61, or other provisions, as appropriate.
However, exercise or conversion is not assumed for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share unless
exercise or conversion of similar outstanding potential ordinary shares that are not contingently issuable is
assumed.
Contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash
58 When an entity has issued a contract that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash at the entity’s option,
the entity shall presume that the contract will be settled in ordinary shares, and the resulting potential
ordinary shares shall be included in diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. 59 When such a contract is presented for accounting purposes as an asset or a liability, or has an equity component
and a liability component, the entity shall adjust the numerator for any changes in profit or loss that would have
resulted during the period if the contract had been classified wholly as an equity instrument. That adjustment is
similar to the adjustments required in paragraph 33.
60 For contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash at the holder’s option, the more dilutive of
cash settlement and share settlement shall be used in calculating diluted earnings per share. 61 An example of a contract that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash is a debt instrument that, on maturity,
gives the entity the unrestricted right to settle the principal amount in cash or in its own ordinary shares. Another
example is a written put option that gives the holder a choice of settling in ordinary shares or cash.
? IASCF 11
IAS 33
Purchased options
62 Contracts such as purchased put options and purchased call options (ie options held by the entity on its own
ordinary shares) are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because including them would
be antidilutive. The put option would be exercised only if the exercise price were higher than the market price
and the call option would be exercised only if the exercise price were lower than the market price.
Written put options
63 Contracts that require the entity to repurchase its own shares, such as written put options and forward
purchase contracts, are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. If
these contracts are ‘in the money’ during the period (ie the exercise or settlement price is above the
average market price for that period), the potential dilutive effect on earnings per share shall be
calculated as follows:
(a) it shall be assumed that at the beginning of the period sufficient ordinary shares will be issued
(at the average market price during the period) to raise proceeds to satisfy the contract;
(b) it shall be assumed that the proceeds from the issue are used to satisfy the contract (ie to buy
back ordinary shares); and
(c) the incremental ordinary shares (the difference between the number of ordinary shares
assumed issued and the number of ordinary shares received from satisfying the contract) shall
be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Retrospective adjustments
64 If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of a capitalisation,
bonus issue or share split, or decreases as a result of a reverse share split, the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share for all periods presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. If these changes
occur after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, the per share
calculations for those and any prior period financial statements presented shall be based on the new
number of shares. The fact that per share calculations reflect such changes in the number of shares shall
be disclosed. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share of all periods presented shall be adjusted
for the effects of errors and adjustments resulting from changes in accounting policies accounted for
retrospectively.
65 An entity does not restate diluted earnings per share of any prior period presented for changes in the
assumptions used in earnings per share calculations or for the conversion of potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.
Presentation
66 An entity shall present in the statement of comprehensive income basic and diluted earnings per share for
profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent entity
and for profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent entity for the period for
each class of ordinary shares that has a different right to share in profit for the period. An entity shall
present basic and diluted earnings per share with equal prominence for all periods presented. 67 Earnings per share is presented for every period for which a statement of comprehensive income is presented. If
diluted earnings per share is reported for at least one period, it shall be reported for all periods presented, even if
it equals basic earnings per share. If basic and diluted earnings per share are equal, dual presentation can be
accomplished in one line in the statement of comprehensive income.
67A If an entity presents the components of profit or loss in a separate income statement as described in paragraph 81
of IAS 1 (as revised in 2007), it presents basic and diluted earnings per share, as required in paragraphs 66 and
67, in that separate statement.
68 An entity that reports a discontinued operation shall disclose the basic and diluted amounts per share for
the discontinued operation either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes. 68A If an entity presents the components of profit or loss in a separate income statement as described in paragraph 81
of IAS 1 (as revised in 2007), it presents basic and diluted earnings per share for the discontinued operation, as
required in paragraph 68, in that separate statement or in the notes.

69 An entity shall present basic and diluted earnings per share, even if the amounts are negative (ie a loss
per share).
Disclosure
70 An entity shall disclose the following:
(a) the amounts used as the numerators in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, and a
reconciliation of those amounts to profit or loss attributable to the parent entity for the period.
The reconciliation shall include the individual effect of each class of instruments that affects
earnings per share.
(b) the weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating basic
and diluted earnings per share, and a reconciliation of these denominators to each other. The
reconciliation shall include the individual effect of each class of instruments that affects
earnings per share.
(c) instruments (including contingently issuable shares) that could potentially dilute basic earnings
per share in the future, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
because they are antidilutive for the period(s) presented.
(d) a description of ordinary share transactions or potential ordinary share transactions, other than
those accounted for in accordance with paragraph 64, that occur after the reporting period and
that would have changed significantly the number of ordinary shares or potential ordinary
shares outstanding at the end of the period if those transactions had occurred before the end of
the reporting period.
71 Examples of transactions in paragraph 70(d) include:
(a) an issue of shares for cash;
(b) an issue of shares when the proceeds are used to repay debt or preference shares outstanding at the
end of the reporting period;
(c) the redemption of ordinary shares outstanding;
(d) the conversion or exercise of potential ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period
into ordinary shares;
(e) an issue of options, warrants, or convertible instruments; and
(f) the achievement of conditions that would result in the issue of contingently issuable shares.
Earnings per share amounts are not adjusted for such transactions occurring after the reporting period because
such transactions do not affect the amount of capital used to produce profit or loss for the period.
72 Financial instruments and other contracts generating potential ordinary shares may incorporate terms and
conditions that affect the measurement of basic and diluted earnings per share. These terms and conditions may
determine whether any potential ordinary shares are dilutive and, if so, the effect on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding and any consequent adjustments to profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity
holders. The disclosure of the terms and conditions of such financial instruments and other contracts is
encouraged, if not otherwise required (see IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures).
73 If an entity discloses, in addition to basic and diluted earnings per share, amounts per share using a
reported component of the statement of comprehensive income other than one required by this Standard,
such amounts shall be calculated using the weighted average number of ordinary shares determined in
accordance with this Standard. Basic and diluted amounts per share relating to such a component shall
be disclosed with equal prominence and presented in the notes. An entity shall indicate the basis on which
the numerator(s) is (are) determined, including whether amounts per share are before tax or after tax. If
a component of the statement of comprehensive income is used that is not reported as a line item in the
statement of comprehensive income, a reconciliation shall be provided between the component used and a
line item that is reported in the statement of comprehensive income.
73A Paragraph 73 applies also to an entity that discloses, in addition to basic and diluted earnings per share,
amounts per share using a reported component of the separate income statement (as described in
paragraph 81 of IAS 1 (as revised in 2007)), other than one required by this Standard.

Appendix A
Application guidance
This appendix is an integral part of the Standard.
Profit or loss attributable to the parent entity
A1 For the purpose of calculating earnings per share based on the consolidated financial statements, profit or loss
attributable to the parent entity refers to profit or loss of the consolidated entity after adjusting for non-
controlling interests.
Rights issues
A2 The issue of ordinary shares at the time of exercise or conversion of potential ordinary shares does not usually
give rise to a bonus element. This is because the potential ordinary shares are usually issued for full value,
resulting in a proportionate change in the resources available to the entity. In a rights issue, however, the
exercise price is often less than the fair value of the shares. Therefore, as noted in paragraph 27(b), such a rights
issue includes a bonus element. If a rights issue is offered to all existing shareholders, the number of ordinary
shares to be used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods before the rights issue is the
number of ordinary shares outstanding before the issue, multiplied by the following factor:
Fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights
Theoretical ex-rights fair value per share
The theoretical ex-rights fair value per share is calculated by adding the aggregate market value of the shares
immediately before the exercise of the rights to the proceeds from the exercise of the rights, and dividing by the
number of shares outstanding after the exercise of the rights. Where the rights are to be publicly traded
separately from the shares before the exercise date, fair value for the purposes of this calculation is established
at the close of the last day on which the shares are traded together with the rights.
Control number
A3 To illustrate the application of the control number notion described in paragraphs 42 and 43, assume that an *entity has profit from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity of CU4,800, a loss from
discontinued operations attributable to the parent entity of (CU7,200), a loss attributable to the parent entity of
(CU2,400), and 2,000 ordinary shares and 400 potential ordinary shares outstanding. The entity’s basic earnings
per share is CU2.40 for continuing operations, (CU3.60) for discontinued operations and (CU1.20) for the loss.
The 400 potential ordinary shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the resulting
CU2.00 earnings per share for continuing operations is dilutive, assuming no profit or loss impact of those 400
potential ordinary shares. Because profit from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity is the
control number, the entity also includes those 400 potential ordinary shares in the calculation of the other
earnings per share amounts, even though the resulting earnings per share amounts are antidilutive to their
comparable basic earnings per share amounts, ie the loss per share is less [(CU3.00) per share for the loss from
discontinued operations and (CU1.00) per share for the loss].
Average market price of ordinary shares
A4 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the average market price of ordinary shares assumed to
be issued is calculated on the basis of the average market price of the ordinary shares during the period.
Theoretically, every market transaction for an entity’s ordinary shares could be included in the determination of
the average market price. As a practical matter, however, a simple average of weekly or monthly prices is
usually adequate.
* In this guidance, monetary amounts are denominated in ‘currency units (CU)’.
? IASCF 15
IAS 33
A5 Generally, closing market prices are adequate for calculating the average market price. When prices fluctuate
widely, however, an average of the high and low prices usually produces a more representative price. The
method used to calculate the average market price is used consistently unless it is no longer representative
because of changed conditions. For example, an entity that uses closing market prices to calculate the average
market price for several years of relatively stable prices might change to an average of high and low prices if
prices start fluctuating greatly and the closing market prices no longer produce a representative average price.
Options, warrants and their equivalents
A6 Options or warrants to purchase convertible instruments are assumed to be exercised to purchase the convertible
instrument whenever the average prices of both the convertible instrument and the ordinary shares obtainable
upon conversion are above the exercise price of the options or warrants. However, exercise is not assumed
unless conversion of similar outstanding convertible instruments, if any, is also assumed.
A7 Options or warrants may permit or require the tendering of debt or other instruments of the entity (or its parent
or a subsidiary) in payment of all or a portion of the exercise price. In the calculation of diluted earnings per
share, those options or warrants have a dilutive effect if (a) the average market price of the related ordinary
shares for the period exceeds the exercise price or (b) the selling price of the instrument to be tendered is below
that at which the instrument may be tendered under the option or warrant agreement and the resulting discount
establishes an effective exercise price below the market price of the ordinary shares obtainable upon exercise. In
the calculation of diluted earnings per share, those options or warrants are assumed to be exercised and the debt
or other instruments are assumed to be tendered. If tendering cash is more advantageous to the option or warrant
holder and the contract permits tendering cash, tendering of cash is assumed. Interest (net of tax) on any debt
assumed to be tendered is added back as an adjustment to the numerator.
A8 Similar treatment is given to preference shares that have similar provisions or to other instruments that have
conversion options that permit the investor to pay cash for a more favourable conversion rate.
A9 The underlying terms of certain options or warrants may require the proceeds received from the exercise of
those instruments to be applied to redeem debt or other instruments of the entity (or its parent or a subsidiary).
In the calculation of diluted earnings per share, those options or warrants are assumed to be exercised and the
proceeds applied to purchase the debt at its average market price rather than to purchase ordinary shares.
However, the excess proceeds received from the assumed exercise over the amount used for the assumed
purchase of debt are considered (ie assumed to be used to buy back ordinary shares) in the diluted earnings per
share calculation. Interest (net of tax) on any debt assumed to be purchased is added back as an adjustment to
the numerator.
Written put options
A10 To illustrate the application of paragraph 63, assume that an entity has outstanding 120 written put options on its
ordinary shares with an exercise price of CU35. The average market price of its ordinary shares for the period is
CU28. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the entity assumes that it issued 150 shares at CU28 per share at
the beginning of the period to satisfy its put obligation of CU4,200. The difference between the 150 ordinary
shares issued and the 120 ordinary shares received from satisfying the put option (30 incremental ordinary
shares) is added to the denominator in calculating diluted earnings per share.
Instruments of subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates
A11 Potential ordinary shares of a subsidiary, joint venture or associate convertible into either ordinary shares of the
subsidiary, joint venture or associate, or ordinary shares of the parent, venturer or investor (the reporting entity)
are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as follows:
(a) instruments issued by a subsidiary, joint venture or associate that enable their holders to obtain
ordinary shares of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate are included in calculating the diluted
earnings per share data of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate. Those earnings per share are then
included in the reporting entity’s earnings per share calculations based on the reporting entity’s
holding of the instruments of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate.
(b) instruments of a subsidiary, joint venture or associate that are convertible into the reporting entity’s
ordinary shares are considered among the potential ordinary shares of the reporting entity for the
purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share. Likewise, options or warrants issued by a subsidiary,
joint venture or associate to purchase ordinary shares of the reporting entity are considered among the
potential ordinary shares of the reporting entity in the calculation of consolidated diluted earnings per
share.
16 ? IASCF
IAS 33
A12 For the purpose of determining the earnings per share effect of instruments issued by a reporting entity that are
convertible into ordinary shares of a subsidiary, joint venture or associate, the instruments are assumed to be
converted and the numerator (profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity) adjusted
as necessary in accordance with paragraph 33. In addition to those adjustments, the numerator is adjusted for
any change in the profit or loss recorded by the reporting entity (such as dividend income or equity method
income) that is attributable to the increase in the number of ordinary shares of the subsidiary, joint venture or
associate outstanding as a result of the assumed conversion. The denominator of the diluted earnings per share
calculation is not affected because the number of ordinary shares of the reporting entity outstanding would not
change upon assumed conversion.
Participating equity instruments and two-class ordinary shares
A13 The equity of some entities includes:
(a) instruments that participate in dividends with ordinary shares according to a predetermined formula
(for example, two for one) with, at times, an upper limit on the extent of participation (for example,
up to, but not beyond, a specified amount per share).
(b) a class of ordinary shares with a different dividend rate from that of another class of ordinary shares
but without prior or senior rights.
A14 For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, conversion is assumed for those instruments described
in paragraph A13 that are convertible into ordinary shares if the effect is dilutive. For those instruments that are
not convertible into a class of ordinary shares, profit or loss for the period is allocated to the different classes of
shares and participating equity instruments in accordance with their dividend rights or other rights to participate
in undistributed earnings. To calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:
(a) profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity is adjusted (a profit reduced
and a loss increased) by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of shares and by
the contractual amount of dividends (or interest on participating bonds) that must be paid for the
period (for example, unpaid cumulative dividends).
(b) the remaining profit or loss is allocated to ordinary shares and participating equity instruments to the
extent that each instrument shares in earnings as if all of the profit or loss for the period had been
distributed. The total profit or loss allocated to each class of equity instrument is determined by
adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation
feature.
(c) the total amount of profit or loss allocated to each class of equity instrument is divided by the number
of outstanding instruments to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share for
the instrument.
For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, all potential ordinary shares assumed to have been issued are
included in outstanding ordinary shares.
Partly paid shares
A15 Where ordinary shares are issued but not fully paid, they are treated in the calculation of basic earnings per
share as a fraction of an ordinary share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends during the
period relative to a fully paid ordinary share.
A16 To the extent that partly paid shares are not entitled to participate in dividends during the period they are treated
as the equivalent of warrants or options in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The unpaid balance is
assumed to represent proceeds used to purchase ordinary shares. The number of shares included in diluted
earnings per share is the difference between the number of shares subscribed and the number of shares assumed
to be purchased.

Basis for Conclusions on
IAS 33 Earnings per Share This Basis for Conclusions accompanies, but is not part of, IAS 33.
Introduction
BC1 This Basis for Conclusions summarises the International Accounting Standards Board’s considerations in
reaching its conclusions on revising IAS 33 Earnings Per Share in 2003. Individual Board members gave
greater weight to some factors than to others.
BC2 In July 2001 the Board announced that, as part of its initial agenda of technical projects, it would undertake a
project to improve a number of Standards, including IAS 33. The project was undertaken in the light of queries
and criticisms raised in relation to the Standards by securities regulators, professional accountants and other
interested parties. The objectives of the Improvements project were to reduce or eliminate alternatives,
redundancies and conflicts within Standards, to deal with some convergence issues and to make other
improvements. In May 2002 the Board published its proposals in an Exposure Draft of Improvements to
International Accounting Standards, with a comment deadline of 16 September 2002. The Board received over
160 comment letters on the Exposure Draft.
BC3 Because the Board’s intention was not to reconsider the fundamental approach to the determination and
presentation of earnings per share established by IAS 33, this Basis for Conclusions does not discuss
requirements in IAS 33 that the Board has not reconsidered.
Presentation of parent’s separate earnings per share
BC4 The Exposure Draft published in May 2002 proposed deleting paragraphs 2 and 3 of the previous version of IAS
33, which stated that when the parent’s separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements are
presented, earnings per share need be presented only on the basis of consolidated information.
BC5 Some respondents expressed concern that the presentation of two earnings per share figures (one for the parent’s
separate financial statements and one for the consolidated financial statements) might be misleading.
BC6 The Board noted that disclosing the parent’s separate earnings per share amount is useful in limited situations,
and therefore decided to retain the option. However, the Board decided that the Standard should prohibit
presentation of the parent’s separate earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements (either
on the face of the financial statements or in the notes).
Contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash
BC7 The Exposure Draft proposed that an entity should include in the calculation of the number of potential ordinary
shares in the diluted earnings per share calculation contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or cash, at the
issuer’s option, based on a rebuttable presumption that the contracts will be settled in shares. This proposed
presumption could be rebutted if the issuer had acted through an established pattern of past practice, published
policies, or by having made a sufficiently specific current statement indicating to other parties the manner in
which it expected to settle, and, as a result, the issuer had created a valid expectation on the part of those other
parties that it would settle in a manner other than by issuing shares.
BC8 The majority of the respondents on the Exposure Draft agreed with the proposed treatment of contracts that may
be settled in ordinary shares or cash at the issuer’s option. However, the Board decided to withdraw the notion
of a rebuttable presumption and to incorporate into the Standard the requirements of SIC-24 Earnings Per
Share—Financial Instruments and Other Contracts that May Be Settled in Shares. SIC-24 requires financial
instruments or other contracts that may result in the issue of ordinary shares of the entity to be considered
potential ordinary shares of the entity.
BC9 Although the proposed treatment would have converged with that required by several liaison standard-setters,
for example, in US SFAS 128 Earnings per Share, the Board concluded that the notion of a rebuttable
presumption is inconsistent with the stated objective of diluted earnings per share. The US Financial Accounting
Standards Board has agreed to consider this difference as part of the joint short-term convergence project with
the IASB.
20 ? IASCF
IAS 33 BC
Calculation of year-to-date diluted earnings per share
BC10 The Exposure Draft proposed the following approach to the year-to-date calculation of diluted earnings per
share:
(a) The number of potential ordinary shares is a year-to-date weighted average of the number of potential
ordinary shares included in each interim diluted earnings per share calculation, rather than a year-to-
date weighted average of the number of potential ordinary shares weighted for the period they were
outstanding (ie without regard for the diluted earnings per share information reported during the
interim periods).
(b) The number of potential ordinary shares is computed using the average market price during the
interim periods, rather than using the average market price during the year-to-date period.
(c) Contingently issuable shares are weighted for the interim periods in which they were included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share, rather than being included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share (if the conditions are satisfied) from the beginning of the year-to-date reporting
period (or from the date of the contingent share agreement, if later). BC11 The majority of the respondents on the Exposure Draft disagreed with the proposed approach to the year-to-date
calculation of diluted earnings per share. The most significant argument against the proposed approach was that
the proposed calculation of diluted earnings per share could result in an amount for year-to-date diluted earnings
per share that was different for entities that report more frequently, for example, on a quarterly or half-yearly
basis, and for entities that report only annually. It was also noted that this problem would be exacerbated for
entities with seasonal businesses.
BC12 The Board considered whether to accept that differences in the frequency of interim reporting would result in
different earnings per share amounts being reported. However, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting states ‘the
frequency of an entity’s reporting (annual, half-yearly, or quarterly) should not affect the measurement of its
annual results. To achieve that objective, measurements for interim reporting purposes should be made on a
year-to-date basis.’ BC13 The Board also considered whether it could mandate the frequency of interim reporting to ensure consistency
between all entities preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, ie those that are brought within the
scope of IAS 33 by virtue of issuing publicly traded instruments or because they elect to present earnings per
share. However, IAS 34 states that, ‘This Standard does not mandate which entities should be required to
publish interim financial reports, how frequently, or how soon after the end of an interim period.’ The frequency
of interim reporting is mandated by securities regulators, stock exchanges, governments, and accountancy
bodies, and varies by jurisdiction.
BC14 Although the proposed approach for the calculation of year-to-date diluted earnings per share would have
converged with US SFAS 128, the Board concluded that the approach was inconsistent with IAS 34 and that it
could not mandate the frequency of interim reporting. The US Financial Accounting Standards Board has agreed
to consider this difference as part of the joint short-term convergence project with the IASB as well as the issue
noted in paragraph BC9.
Other changes
BC15 Implementation questions have arisen since the previous version of IAS 33 was issued, typically concerning the
application of the Standard to complex capital structures and arrangements. In response, the Board decided to
provide additional application guidance in the Appendix as well as illustrative examples on more complex
matters that were not addressed in the previous version of IAS 33. These matters include the effects of
contingently issuable shares, potential ordinary shares of subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates, participating
equity instruments, written put options, and purchased put and call options.

Illustrative examples

Example 1 Increasing rate preference shares
Reference: IAS 33, paragraphs 12 and 15
Entity D issued non-convertible, non-redeemable class A cumulative preference shares of CU100 par value on 1 January
20X1. The class A preference shares are entitled to a cumulative annual dividend of CU7 per share starting in 20X4.
At the time of issue, the market rate dividend yield on the class A preference shares was 7 per cent a year. Thus, Entity D
could have expected to receive proceeds of approximately CU100 per class A preference share if the dividend rate of CU7
per share had been in effect at the date of issue.
In consideration of the dividend payment terms, however, the class A preference shares were issued at CU81.63 per share,
ie at a discount of CU18.37 per share. The issue price can be calculated by taking the present value of CU100, discounted
at 7 per cent over a three-year period.
Because the shares are classified as equity, the original issue discount is amortised to retained earnings using the effective
interest method and treated as a preference dividend for earnings per share purposes. To calculate basic earnings per share,
the following imputed dividend per class A preference share is deducted to determine the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the parent entity:

Example 8 Convertible bonds settled in shares or cash at the issuer’s
option
Reference: IAS 33, paragraphs 31–33, 36, 58 and 59
An entity issues 2,000 convertible bonds at the beginning of Year 1. The bonds have a three-year term, and are issued at
par with a face value of CU1,000 per bond, giving total proceeds of CU2,000,000. Interest is payable annually in arrears at
a nominal annual interest rate of 6 per cent. Each bond is convertible at any time up to maturity into 250 ordinary shares.
The entity has an option to settle the principal amount of the convertible bonds in ordinary shares or in cash.
When the bonds are issued, the prevailing market interest rate for similar debt without a conversion option is 9 per cent. At
the issue date, the market price of one ordinary share is CU3. Income tax is ignored.
Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity Year 1 CU1,000,000 Ordinary shares outstanding 1,200,000 Convertible bonds outstanding 2,000 Allocation of proceeds of the bond issue: Liability component CU1,848,122 a
Equity component CU151,878
CU2,000,000
a This represents the present value of the principal and interest discounted at 9% – CU2,000,000 payable at the end of three years; CU120,000 payable annually in arrears for three years.
The liability and equity components would be determined in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. These amounts are recognised as the initial carrying amounts of the liability and equity components. The amount assigned
to the issuer conversion option equity element is an addition to equity and is not adjusted.
Basic earnings per share Year 1:
CU1,000,000
= CU0.83 per ordinary share
1,200,000
Diluted earnings per share Year 1:
It is presumed that the issuer will settle the contract by the issue of ordinary shares. The dilutive effect is therefore
calculated in accordance with paragraph 59 of the Standard.

= CU0.69 per ordinary share b1,200,000 + 500,000
a Profit is adjusted for the accretion of CU166,331 (CU1,848,122 × 9%) of the liability because of the passage of time. b 500,000 ordinary shares = 250 ordinary shares × 2,000 convertible bonds

Example 12 Calculation and presentation of basic and diluted earnings
*per share (comprehensive example) This example illustrates the quarterly and annual calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share in the year 20X1 for
Company A, which has a complex capital structure. The control number is profit or loss from continuing operations
attributable to the parent entity. Other facts assumed are as follows:
Average market price of ordinary shares: The average market prices of ordinary shares for the calendar year 20X1 were as follows:
First quarter CU49
Second quarter CU60
Third quarter CU67
Fourth quarter CU67
The average market price of ordinary shares from 1 July to 1 September 20X1 was CU65.
Ordinary shares: The number of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of 20X1 was 5,000,000. On 1 March 20X1,
200,000 ordinary shares were issued for cash.
Convertible bonds: In the last quarter of 20X0, 5 per cent convertible bonds with a principal amount of CU12,000,000
due in 20 years were sold for cash at CU1,000 (par). Interest is payable twice a year, on 1 November and 1 May. Each
CU1,000 bond is convertible into 40 ordinary shares. No bonds were converted in 20X0. The entire issue was converted
on 1 April 20X1 because the issue was called by Company A.
Convertible preference shares: In the second quarter of 20X0, 800,000 convertible preference shares were issued for
assets in a purchase transaction. The quarterly dividend on each convertible preference share is CU0.05, payable at the end
of the quarter for shares outstanding at that date. Each share is convertible into one ordinary share. Holders of 600,000
convertible preference shares converted their preference shares into ordinary shares on 1 June 20X1.
Warrants: Warrants to buy 600,000 ordinary shares at CU55 per share for a period of five years were issued on 1 January
20X1. All outstanding warrants were exercised on 1 September 20X1.
Options: Options to buy 1,500,000 ordinary shares at CU75 per share for a period of 10 years were issued on 1 July 20X1.
No options were exercised during 20X1 because the exercise price of the options exceeded the market price of the
ordinary shares.
Tax rate: The tax rate was 40 per cent for 20X1.

from continuing operations attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, adjusted for preference dividends)
was positive (ie profit, rather than loss).
