EPS Earnings per share is the relationship of the profit after tax attributable to each share in issue. Normalised EPS is calculated as follows:

Normalised EPS = normalised earnings / weighted shares in issue

Where

Normalised earnings = IIMR headline earnings
+ exceptional charges¹
- exceptional income¹

and

IIMR headline earnings = FRS3 earnings²
+ non-trading losses¹
- non-trading profits¹

¹ - Net of tax and minority interest adjustments

² - See entry for normalised EPS

In addition, the diluted EPS calculation includes stock options, warrants, and convertible securities to get per-share earnings.
Dividend The payment by the company to its shareholders of a proportion of the profits earned during the financial period. Usually paid as a quarterly dividend throughout the year and a final dividend at the end of the financial year once the final business accounts are prepared and the results known.
