Earnings per share |
Earnings per share | A2. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, excluding those held in the Rentokil Initial Employee Share Trust (see note at the bottom of the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity) which are treated as cancelled, and including share options for which all conditions have been met. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to include all potential dilutive ordinary shares. The Group’s potentially dilutive ordinary shares relate to the contingent issuable shares under the Group’s long-term incentive plans (LTIPs) to the extent that the performance conditions have been met at the end of the period. These share options are issued for nil consideration to employees if performance conditions are met. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, 435,578 share options were anti-dilutive and not included in the calculation of the dilutive effect as at 31 December 2024 (2023: 18,422; 2022: 1,290,294). Details of the calculation of earnings per share are set out below: ​
