Introduction

Shareholders are primarily interested in how much they earn


from their investment in an entity's share. The disclosure of earnings
per share on the face of the statement of comprehensive income
addresses this information need of the shareholders. Financial analysts
have historically considered the earnings per share information as an
indicator of an entity's profitability.

SCOPE OF IAS 33 Earnings Per Share


IAS 33, Earnings Per Share, prescribes the principles for
determffiing and presenting earnings per share. IAS 33 requires entities
whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are publicly traded
or are in the process of issuing ordinary shares or potential ordinary
shares to include a.section in the statement of comprehensive income
information on earnings per share. coun ne

The objective of earnings per share (EPS) information is to


improve the comparison_of. performance information among different
enterprises in the Same period and performance information of the same-

Adjustments for Differences in Settlement of Preference Shares

Preference shares may be repurchased or retired under an


entity's tender to the holders. The excess amount paid over the carrying
amount of the preference shares represents a to the preference
shareholders and a charge to the retained earnings. This amount is
deducted in calculating the profit orloss attributable to ordinary

Q

When bonus issues or share splits occur, the computation of the


weighted average number of shares requires restatement of the shares
outstanding before the bonus issue or split. Additional shares
outstanding as a result of the bonus issue are assumed to have been
outstanding since the beginning of the earliest _period presented or at the
date of the issugnce of the shares ‘(before the split or bonus issue},

these transactions do not change the_shareholders'investment but only

ADJUSTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF THE STOCK RIGHTS

When stock rights are issued, the exercise price is often less
than the fair value of the shares. Therefore, such a rights issue includes
a bonus element. An entity shall use, as the denominator in computing
the basic earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares before the
issue, multiplied by the following factor:

Fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights

calculated by
The theoretical ex-rights fair value per share is

(a) adding the aggregated fair value of the shares


immediately before the exercise of the rights and the
proceeds from the exercise of the rights, and

(b) dividing the sum determined in (a) by the number of


shares outstanding after exercising the rights.

To illustrate, assume the following information:

Profit for 2022 - P1,500,000


Shares outstanding before the rights issue 50,000 shares
_ Terms of the rights issue:
One new share for every five shares outstanding
Exercise price P50

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

An entity shall calculate diluted earnings per share amounts for


profits or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the entity and, if
presented, profit or loss from continuing operations .attributable to
those equity holders (paragraph 30, IAS 33).

The objective of diluted earnings per share is to provide a


measure of the interest of each ordinary share in the performance of an
entity while giving effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares
outstanding during the period (paragraph 32, IAS 33).

A potential ordinary share is a financial instrument or another


contract that gives the holder the right to acquire ordinary shares at a
specified price for a given period. Examples of potential ordinary shares
are:

(a) financial liabilities or equity instruments, including


preference shares, that are convertible into ordinary
shares (e.g., convertible preference shares and
ae
convertible bonds);

Dilution is a Gansdien in earnings_per_share or an indze
loss per-share-resulting from the assumption that the entity converted
instruments, exercised the options and warrants, or

‘issued ordinary shares upon fulfilling certain conditions.

DILUTIVE AND ANTI-DILUTIVE POTENTIAL ORDINARY SHARES

Potential ordinary shares should be treated as dilutive when,


and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease
earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing
operations of the entity. On the other hand, they are anti-dilutive when
their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share
or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The effects of
anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares are ignored in calculating diluted
earnings per share.

The computation of the diluted earnings per share is similar to


the calculation of the basic EPS, except that the earnings attributable to
ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of outstanding
shares should be adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares. ; Nabe

An enterprise should adjust the profit attributable to ordinary


shareholders for any other income or expense resulting from converting
the dilutive potential ordinary shares. Suppose the enterprise had
dilutive preference shares outstanding during the period. It shall add
the after-tax dividends for the dilutive preference shares to the profit
attributable to the ordinary shareholders. Consequently, if it has
dilutive convertible bonds outstanding, it shall add to the profit
attributable to the ordinary shareholders the after-tax interest on such
bonds. Thus the calculation of the EPS assumes that the convertible
preference shares or bonds had been converted into ordinary shares,
such that there would be no dividends on the preference nor interest on
the bonds.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is


increased by the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares
that would have been outstanding, assuming the conversion of all
_ dilutive potential ordinary shares, Dilutive potential ordinary shares are

Because the exercise price of the warrants is less than the
average fair value of the ordinary share during 2022, the warrants are
dilutive.

The weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the


assumed exercise of dilutive warrants and subsequent assumed
purchase of ordinary shares at the market price. Thus, an entity shall
make two assumptions: first, all the warrants are exercised, and
second, the entity used the proceeds to acquire ordinary shares at the
average market price. The excess of the shares assumed issued over the
shares assumed acquired is the number of shares assumed issued
without consideration. : a

Only the 20,000 shares assumed to have been issued without


consideration are added to arrive at the denominator for the
computation of the DEPS.

The above circumstance may also be interpreted using the


treasury shares method, as follows:

Number of ordinary shares to be issued upon exercise of warrants 100,000


Less: number of ordinary shares assumed to have been
repurchased at the average price (treasury shares)

the adjustment is necessary only during the period they had not been
exercised. The BEPS computation considered the warrants exercised,
which increased the number of outstanding ordinary shares.

The 50,000 shares are the assumed number of shares issued in


exchange for the bonds remaining not converted as of December 31,
2022. The 150,000 shares are the shares issued on July 1 in exchange
for the bonds converted. To compute the diluted earnings per share,
they are assumed to be converted as early as January 1. The shares
issued on July 1 are already included in determining the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during 2022. Thus, the
adjustment necessary is for January 1 to June 30, during which no
bonds had been converted yet.

Diluted earnings per share, therefore, is:

P10,218,750 + 2,125,000 = P481

Different Classes of Potential Orainary Shares Outstanding during a


Reporting Period

Some entities may have different outstanding classes of potential


ordinary shares during a reporting period. In considering whether
potential ordinary shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive, each issue of a
series of potential ordinary shares is considered separately rather than
in aggregate. The sequence in which potential ordinary shares are
considered may affect whether they are dilutive.

Therefore, to maximize the dilution of basic earnings per share,


each issue or series of potential ordinary shares is considered from the
most dilutive to the least dilutive. A series of computations are needed
to arrive at the fully diluted earnings per share. Each issue is taken one ©
after the other to compute the diluted earnings per share.

The sequence to include the potential ordinary shares is as


follows:

(1) options
(2) convertible bonds
(3) convertible preference shares

When only the options are considered, the dilutive earnings per
share is computed as:

P10,000,000/2,020,000 = P4.95
The amount is lower than the basic earnings per share. Thus,
the options are dilutive.

When convertible bonds are considered, the diluted earni


ngs per
share computation is modified as follows:

242

Scanned with CamScanner


Chapter 5 — Earnings Per Share

P10,000,000 + P3,750,000
2,020,000 + 2,000,000 rae
The convertible bonds are also dilutive because their inclusion in
the denominator further decreases the earnings per share.

When convertible preference shares are included in the


computation, the result is as follows:

P13,750,000 + P6,400,000 P3.59


4,020,000 + 1,600,000

The computed earnings per share is higher than the previous


figure (before considering the convertible preference shares). This
indicates that the convertible preference shares are anti-dilutive and
are, therefore, ignored in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
_ Thus, the diluted earnings per share in this illustration is P3.42.
