Use of ‘normalised EPS’

In order to ensure that a reasonably realistic measure of growth is achieved, it is essential that comparison should only be made between EPS figures calculated on the same basis. This is particularly important when comparing historic EPS for consecutive periods, or when comparing the last reported EPS alongside a forecast for the following period.

To ensure comparability, any historic EPS figures used for measuring growth are adjusted for share capital changes and non-standard periods, and are calculated on a normalised basis, which excludes all non-trading or exceptional profits and losses. The full methodology for calculating normalised EPS is described in calculating normalised and IIMR earnings.
