EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to ordinary Shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in circulation. The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to ordinary Shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation during the period, adjusted for the capital dilution effects of any options outstanding. The calculation of the shares in circulation does not include own shares held as treasury stock.

The company has only one category of potential ordinary shares, which are those shares resulting from the stock options assigned to employees.

The dilutive effect of the ordinary shares to be issued or assigned in favour of stock options plans on earnings per share is not significant.

To determine the average number of options, the average fair value of the shares for the period under examination (the financial year) was used. The average fair value of CIR ordinary shares in 2010 was € 1.5474 compared to an average fair value of € 1.2073 in 2009.
