28. Earnings per share
 

The calculation of basic and headline earnings per share has been based on profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, amended as shown in the reconciliation below. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding has been used for both basic and headline earnings, with adjustments for treasury shares held. The effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares is shown in both the earnings (diluted) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding (diluted).
