Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with IAS 33 (Earnings Per Share) by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in financial year 2022/2023 amounted to 110,377,320 (previous year: 105,557,762). Earnings per share relate only to shares in the parent company. Since there are no potential ordinary shares, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
