4Earnings per share

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company by the weighted

average number of ordinary shares outstanding, after deducting own shares held. Diluted earnings per ordinary share is 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.
