Meaning of Earning Per Share

EPS means Speed of earning of any entity over a period. It does not mean actual earnings are same as per EPS.

EPS is of two type :

I. Basic EPS

II. Diluted EPS

BASIC EPS

Basic EPS = Earnings attributable to Equity shareholder

Wght. Avg. of Equity share outstanding during the Year

Where,

I. Earnings attributable to equity shareholder means :

Profit After Tax XXX

Less- Pref. dividend on Cumulative Preference Share XXX

(Declared or Not)

Less- Preference Dividend on Non- Cumulative Preference Share XXX

Less- DDT/CDT on Preference Dividend. XXX

Earnings for Equity Shareholder XXX

Points to be considered: If it is not clear about Preference Share, assume it as cumulative. CDT to be deducted, If specified in question. Reserve of any nature/reason not to be deducted

II. Weighted Average of outstanding Equity share during the period

Consider only share capital to the extent paid-up or if shares are similar paid- up Capital shares.

While calculating weighted Average outstanding share means considering time proportion of outstanding share capital.

Time Period Consideration

Public Issue Date relevant

Bonus Issue Date not relevant

Share Split / Consolidation Date not relevant

Right Issue : Paid Part Date relevant

Free Part Date not relevant

Amalgamation Issue:

Merger Date not relevant

Purchase Date relevant

Share Buy-Back, Forfeiture Date relevant

Underwriting Commission settled in share Share relevant

Bonus Treatment• Whenever question has information regarding Bonus Share or Bonus has been calculated in

Right share then ratio of previous year(s) should be Re-calculated/Re-stated/Adjusted/• This requirement of settlement is for Basic and Diluted EPS.• Similar calculation are required in share split or share consolidation.

Right Share Always Calculate Fair Value Post right for shares.

Fair Value Post Right =

(Fair Value * No. of Share) + (Right * Right)

Pre-right Pre-right Price Share

Total Share After Right Fair Value Pre-right also called Fair value cum right.

Fair value Post-right also called Fair value ex-right.

Find out Paid Part and Free Part include in Right share : Paid Part : (Right Price * Right Share)

Fair value Post Right

Free Part : (Right share-Paid Part)

Shares having Different Voting/Dividend Right(A) Absolute Dividend Right : Whenever shares are having incremental dividend right then; - calculate such “Extra Dividend” - reduce such dividend from “Earnings for Equity Shareholder” - calculate BEPS from normal earnings and, include such dividend applicable to each class(B) Proportionate Right : Ratio of expected dividend is used to apportion earnings applicable to each class. Such Ratio = Share capital * Expected dividend Rate # BEPS is based on apportioned earnings

Amalgamation in the nature of Purchase• Whenever shares are issued in the scheme of Amalgamation in the nature of

Purchase, then such issue of shares are treated as public issue.(Date are relevant)

• Whenever partly paid shares are not entitled for dividend rights (until they become fully paid-up). These shares should not be considered in BEPS.

Amalgamation in the nature of Merger Since AS-14 requires merger of Assets, Liabilities and Profits in accounting for amalgamation,

same concept is applied while calculating BEPS :

(A) Earnings of Company which has been merged will be clubbed

with earnings of transferring Company.

(B) No. of Shares issued will be for complete period without

considering date of issue of shares.

DILUTED EPS • Diluted EPS = Basic EPS after considering effect of Dilutive Potential Equity Shares.• Diluted EPS = Earnings attributable to equity shareholder after effect of Diluted Potential

equity shareWeighted Average outstanding equity share during the period after considering Dilutive Potential equity Share• Dilutive means- Those Potential equity shares which reduces BEPS from Continuing

Ordinary Operations. Generally, DEPS less than BEPS.

Potential Equity Share means : Instrument on which resources has been received in cash or kind

employed in business and

which entitled its holder to equity share in future.

Examples :

Convertible Debenture

Convertible Pref. Share

Employee Stock Option

Share Application money used in business

Partly paid shares not entitled to dividend

Following Calculations are required:

1. Identify Potential Equity Shares (PES) Note : (a) In case of Vested ESOP ;

PES = ESOP – (Exercise price * No. of Option) Avg. Fair Value of shares

(b) In case of unvested ESOPPES = ZERO

2. Identify Diluted Potential Equity Shares by applying following steps :

Step-1 : Calculate Incremental EPS

Incremental EPS = Effect of PES on Earnings

Effect of PES on W. Avg. Shares

Step- 2 : Arrange Incremental PES in order of most dilutive

(Ascending ratio)

Test For Dilution ( Para- 39 ) Test each PES in order as per incremental PES on BEPS from Continuing

Ordinary Operation (COO)

Whenever ration declines from receiving preceding calculation it is called Dilutive PES or it ratio increases then it is called Anti- Dilutive PES.

Dilutive EPS : BEPS after effect of Dilutive PES

Treatment of ‘ESOP’ under AS-20 and IND AS-33 ESOPs are contract with employers wherein employees are to render

services and pay exercise price against allotment of shares in future.

AS per AS-20

ESOPs are to be ignored till services are yet to be performed. As soon as services have been rendered.

PES in ESOP = Total ESOP Exercise price * No. of ESOP

Average Fair Value

AS per IND AS-33

PES IN ESOP =

Total ESOP (Exercise Price * No.of ESOP) + Assumed Proceeds

Average Fair Value

Where,

Assumed Proceeds means value of services yet to be performed by employee.

Disclosure requirement

Basic EPS should be disclosed on the face of SPL for each classes of equity Share even if BEPS is negative (Para-9)

BEPS and DEPS should also be disclosed before adjusting extraordinary items (Para-48)

Reconciliation statement should be given for :

- Earnings of BEPS with earnings of DEPS

- Weighted Average of outstanding shares of BEPS with Weighted Average of outstanding shares relating to DEPS.

Par Value should be disclosed.

Partial Exemption for II, III and SMC Diluted EPS not required

Reconciliation statement also not required to disclosed.

Guidance note on application of AS-20

- AS-20 is applicable to all Companies

- listed or unlisted

- partial exemption allowed, if available.

SEBI Rules regarding Bonus on Convertible Instrument• As per SEBI, if any, Companies have outstanding convertible instrument or instrument

which entitles its holder to equity share in future and Company declares Bonus issue then Bonus will also be given to such instrument holder after conversion into equity share.

• While calculating DEPS, Potential equity share should be increased Bonus entitlement (for 12 month i.e. full period)

• While calculating BEPS, no treatment for Bonus entitlement, if convertible instrument get converted, bonus shares should be issued on such converted instrument full year.
