Accordingly: | | | | | | | | | | 30-06-2026 | 30-06-2025 | | Profit attributable to the Parent (EUR million) | 8,973 | | 6,833 | | | Remuneration of contingently convertible preferred securities (CCPS) (EUR million) | (318) | | (310) | | | 8,655 | | 6,523 | | | Of which: | | | | Profit or Loss from discontinued operations (non controlling interest net) (EUR million) | 1,895 | | 454 | | | Profit or Loss from continuing operations (CCPS net) (EUR million) | 6,760 | | 6,069 | | | Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 14,458,003,078 | | 14,995,834,683 | | | Basic earnings per share (euros) | 0.60 | | 0.43 | | | Of which: from discontinued operations (euros) | 0.13 | | 0.03 | | | from continuing operations (euros) | 0.47 | | 0.40 | |
ii. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share for the period are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to Grupo Santander for the first six months adjusted by the after-tax amount relating to the remuneration of contingently convertible preference shares recognised in equity and of perpetual liabilities contingently amortisable in their case by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of treasury shares and adjusted for all the dilutive effects inherent to potential ordinary shares (share options, warrants and convertible debt instruments). Accordingly, diluted earnings per share were determined as follows: | | | | | | | | | | 30-06-2026 | 30-06-2025 | | Profit attributable to the Parent (EUR million) | 8,973 | 6,833 | | | Remuneration of contingently convertible preferred securities (CCPS) (EUR million) | (318) | | (310) | | | 8,655 | | 6,523 | | | Of which: | | | | Profit or Loss from discontinued operations (non controlling interest net) (EUR million) | 1,895 | | 454 | | | Profit or Loss from continuing operations (CCPS net) (EUR million) | 6,760 | | 6,069 | | | Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 14,458,003,078 | | 14,995,834,683 | | | Dilutive effect of options/receipt of shares | 82,062,704 | | 81,043,722 | | | Adjusted number of shares | 14,540,065,782 | | 15,076,878,405 | | | Diluted earnings per share (euros) | 0.60 | | 0.43 | | | Of which: from discontinued operations (euros) | 0.13 | | 0.03 | | | from continuing operations (euros) | 0.47 | | 0.40 | |
