31. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume
conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares. The Group only has dilutive potential share-based awards (see Note 21.3).
Dilutive share-based awards are assumed to have been exercised, and the assumed proceeds from these instruments are
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 is treated as an issue of ordinary shares for no
consideration.
Approximately 2 581 424, 3 982 153, 4 581 153 shares attributable to the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their effect was anti-
dilutive because their average exercise price was higher than the average market price during the year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
