IAS 33 Earnings per ShareIllustrative Examples

These examples accompany, but are not part of, IAS 33.

Example 1 Increasing rate preference shares

Reference: IAS 33paragraphs 12 and 15

Entity D issued non‑convertible, non‑redeemable class A cumulative preference shares of CU100 par value on 1 January 20X1. The class A preference shares are entitled to a cumulative annual dividend of CU7 per share starting in 20X4.

At the time of issue, the market rate dividend yield on the class A preference shares was 7 per cent a year. Thus, Entity D could have expected to receive proceeds of approximately CU100 per class A preference share if the dividend rate of CU7 per share had been in effect at the date of issue.

In consideration of the dividend payment terms, however, the class A preference shares were issued at CU81.63 per share, ie at a discount of CU18.37 per share. The issue price can be calculated by taking the present value of CU100, discounted at 7 per cent over a three‑year period.

Because the shares are classified as equity, the original issue discount is amortised to retained earnings using the effective interest method [Refer:IFRS 9 Appendix A (definition of effective interest method) and paragraphs B5.4.1⁠–⁠B5.4.7] and treated as a preference dividend for earnings per share purposes. To calculate basic earnings per share, the following imputed dividend per class A preference share is deducted to determine the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity: [Refer:paragraphs 12⁠–⁠18A1A13 and A14]

Example 2 Weighted average number of ordinary shares

Reference: IAS 33, paragraphs 19⁠–⁠21

    Shares issued Treasury(a) shares   Shares outstanding
1 January 20X1 Balance at beginning of year 2,000   300   1,700
31 May 20X1 Issue of new shares for cash 800     2,500
1 December 20X1 Purchase of treasury shares for cash   250   2,250
31 December 20X1 Balance at year-end 2,800   550   2,250
Calculation of weighted average:
(1,700 × 5/12) + (2,500 × 6/12) + (2,250 × 1/12) = 2,146 shares or
(1,700 × 12/12) + (800 × 7/12) – (250 × 1/12) = 2,146 shares
(a)

Treasury shares are equity instruments reacquired and held by the issuing entity itself or by its subsidiaries.

Example 3 Bonus issue

Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity 20X0 CU180
Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity 20X1 CU600
Ordinary shares outstanding until 30 September 20X1 200
Bonus issue 1 October 20X1 2 ordinary shares for each ordinary share outstanding at 30 September 20X1
  200 × 2 = 400
Basic earnings per share 20X1 CU600 = CU1.00
(200 + 400)
Basic earnings per share 20X0 CU180 = CU0.30
(200 + 400)
Because the bonus issue was without consideration, it is treated as if it had occurred before the beginning of 20X0, the earliest period presented.

Diluted earnings per share CU1,200,000 525,000 CU2.29
(a)

Earnings have not increased because the total number of shares has increased only by the number of shares (25,000) deemed to have been issued for no consideration (see paragraph 46(b) of the Standard).

Example 6 Convertible bonds1

Reference: IAS 33, paragraphs 33, 34, 36 and 49

Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity CU1,004
Ordinary shares outstanding 1,000
Basic earnings per share CU1.00
Convertible bonds 100
Each block of 10 bonds is convertible into three ordinary shares
Interest expense for the current year relating to the liability component of the convertible bonds CU10
Current and deferred tax relating to that interest expense CU4
 
Note: the interest expense includes amortisation of the discount arising on initial recognition of the liability component (see IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation).
 
Adjusted profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity CU1,004 + CU10 – CU4
= CU1,010
Number of ordinary shares resulting from conversion of bonds     30
Number of ordinary shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share 1,000 + 30 = 1,030
Diluted earnings per share CU1,010   = CU0.98

Example 7 Contingently issuable shares

Reference: IAS 33paragraphs 192436, 3741⁠–⁠43 and 52

Ordinary shares outstanding during 20X1 1,000,000 (there were no options, warrants or convertible instruments outstanding during the period)
An agreement related to a recent business combination provides for the issue of additional ordinary shares based on the following conditions:
  5,000 additional ordinary shares for each new retail site opened during 20X1
  1,000 additional ordinary shares for each CU1,000 of consolidated profit in excess of CU2,000,000 for the year ended 31 December 20X1
Retail sites opened during the year: one on 1 May 20X1
  one on 1 September 20X1
Consolidated year-to-date profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity: CU1,100,000 as of 31 March 20X1
  CU2,300,000 as of 30 June 20X1
  CU1,900,000 as of 30 September 20X1 (including a CU450,000 loss from a discontinued operation)
  CU2,900,000 as of 31 December 20X1
Basic earnings per share
  First quarter   Second quarter   Third quarter   Fourth quarter   Full year
Numerator (CU) 1,100,000   1,200,000   (400,000)   1,000,000   2,900,000
Denominator:                  
Ordinary shares outstanding 1,000,000   1,000,000   1,000,000   1,000,000   1,000,000
Retail site contingency   3,333(a)   6,667(b)   10,000   5,000(c)
Earnings contingency(d)        
Total shares 1,000,000   1,003,333   1,006,667   1,010,000   1,005,000
Basic earnings per share (CU) 1.10   1.20   (0.40)   0.99   2.89
 
(a)

5,000 shares × 2/3

(b)

5,000 shares + (5,000 shares × 1/3)

(c)

(5,000 shares × 8/12) + (5,000 shares × 4/12)

(d)

The earnings contingency has no effect on basic earnings per share because it is not certain that the condition is satisfied until the end of the contingency period. The effect is negligible for the fourth‑quarter and full‑year calculations because it is not certain that the condition is met until the last day of the period.

Diluted earnings per share
  First quarter   Second quarter   Third quarter   Fourth quarter   Full year
Numerator (CU) 1,100,000   1,200,000   (400,000)   1,000,000   2,900,000

Earnings contingency (a)   300,000(b)   (c)   900,000(d)   900,000(d)
Total shares 1,000,000   1,305,000   1,010,000   1,910,000   1,910,000
Diluted earnings per share (CU) 1.10   0.92   (0.40)(e)   0.52   1.52
 
(a)

Company A does not have year-to-date profit exceeding CU2,000,000 at 31 March 20X1. The Standard does not permit projecting future earnings levels and including the related contingent shares.

(b)

[(CU2,300,000 – CU2,000,000) ÷ 1,000] × 1,000 shares = 300,000 shares.

(c)

Year-to-date profit is less than CU2,000,000.

(d)

[(CU2,900,000 – CU2,000,000) ÷ 1,000] × 1,000 shares = 900,000 shares.

(e)

Because the loss during the third quarter is attributable to a loss from a discontinued operation, the antidilution rules do not apply. The control number (ie profit or loss from, continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of the parent entity) is positive. Accordingly, the effect of potential ordinary shares is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Example 8 Convertible bonds settled in shares or cash at the issuer’s option

Reference: IAS 33paragraphs 31⁠–⁠333658 and 59

An entity issues 2,000 convertible bonds at the beginning of Year 1. The bonds have a three-year term, and are issued at par with a face value of CU1,000 per bond, giving total proceeds of CU2,000,000. Interest is payable annually in arrears at a nominal annual interest rate of 6 per cent. Each bond is convertible at any time up to maturity into 250 ordinary shares. The entity has an option to settle the principal amount of the convertible bonds in ordinary shares or in cash.

When the bonds are issued, the prevailing market interest rate for similar debt without a conversion option is 9 per cent. At the issue date, the market price of one ordinary share is CU3. Income tax is ignored.

Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity Year 1 CU1,000,000
Ordinary shares outstanding 1,200,000
Convertible bonds outstanding 2,000
Allocation of proceeds of the bond issue:  
Liability component CU1,848,122(a)
Equity component CU151,878
  CU2,000,000
(a)

This represents the present value of the principal and interest discounted at 9% – CU2,000,000 payable at the end of three years; CU120,000 payable annually in arrears for three years.

The liability and equity components would be determined in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. These amounts are recognised as the initial carrying amounts of the liability and equity components. The amount assigned to the issuer conversion option equity element is an addition to equity and is not adjusted.

 
Basic earnings per share Year 1:
CU1,000,000   = CU0.83 per ordinary share
1,200,000

Diluted earnings per share Year 1:

It is presumed that the issuer will settle the contract by the issue of ordinary shares. The dilutive effect is therefore calculated in accordance with paragraph 59 of the Standard.

CU1,000,000 + CU166,331(a)   = CU0.69 per ordinary share
1,200,000 + 500,000(b)
(a)

Profit is adjusted for the accretion of CU166,331 (CU1,848,122 × 9%) of the liability because of the passage of time.

(b)

500,000 ordinary shares = 250 ordinary shares × 2,000 convertible bonds

Because diluted earnings per share is increased when taking the convertible preference shares into account (from CU3.23 to CU3.45), the convertible preference shares are antidilutive and are ignored in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Therefore, diluted earnings per share for profit from continuing operations is CU3.23:

  Basic EPS Diluted EPS

Adjustment to profit (loss) for preference share dividends Example MonetaryDuration, Debit IAS 33.70 a Example 838000

This example illustrates the quarterly and annual calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share in the year 20X1 for Company A, which has a complex capital structure. The control number is profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity. Other facts assumed are as follows:

Average market price of ordinary shares: The average market prices of ordinary shares for the calendar year 20X1 were as follows:

  First quarter CU49
  Second quarter CU60
  Third quarter CU67
  Fourth quarter CU67

The average market price of ordinary shares from 1 July to 1 September 20X1 was CU65.

Ordinary shares: The number of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of 20X1 was 5,000,000. On 1 March 20X1, 200,000 ordinary shares were issued for cash.

Convertible bonds: In the last quarter of 20X0, 5 per cent convertible bonds with a principal amount of CU12,000,000 due in 20 years were sold for cash at CU1,000 (par). Interest is payable twice a year, on 1 November and 1 May. Each CU1,000 bond is convertible into 40 ordinary shares. No bonds were converted in 20X0. The entire issue was converted on 1 April 20X1 because the issue was called by Company A.

Convertible preference shares: In the second quarter of 20X0, 800,000 convertible preference shares were issued for assets in a purchase transaction. The quarterly dividend on each convertible preference share is CU0.05, payable at the end of the quarter for shares outstanding at that date. Each share is convertible into one ordinary share. Holders of 600,000 convertible preference shares converted their preference shares into ordinary shares on 1 June 20X1.

Warrants: Warrants to buy 600,000 ordinary shares at CU55 per share for a period of five years were issued on 1 January 20X1. All outstanding warrants were exercised on 1 September 20X1.

Options: Options to buy 1,500,000 ordinary shares at CU75 per share for a period of 10 years were issued on 1 July 20X1. No options were exercised during 20X1 because the exercise price of the options exceeded the market price of the ordinary shares.

Tax rate: The tax rate was 40 per cent for 20X1.

Note: The incremental shares from assumed conversions are included in calculating the diluted per‑share amounts for the loss from discontinued operations and loss even though they are antidilutive. This is because the control number (profit from continuing operations attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, adjusted for preference dividends) was positive (ie profit, rather than loss).
