Underlying Earnings
Underlying Earnings is net profit attributable to equity
shareholders, adjusted for the effect of special items and
remeasurements, and any related tax and non-controlling interests.
Special items include those items of financial performance which
the Group believes should be excluded from underlying financial
performance, and principally relate to impairment and significant
closure costs, exceptional legal provisions and profit or loss on
disposals. Remeasurements include adjustments to ensure that the
unrealised gains or losses on non-hedge derivative instruments are
recorded in underlying earnings in the same period as the
underlying transaction against which these instruments provide an
economic, but not formally designated, hedge as well as foreign
exchange impacts arising on certain deferred tax balances.
