Underlying earnings

Underlying earnings is profit attributable to equity shareholders before special items and remeasurements,
and is therefore presented after net finance costs, income tax and non-controlling interests. Special items
are those items of financial performance that the Group believes should be separately disclosed to assist
in the understanding of the underlying financial performance achieved by the Group.

Operating special items principally include impairment charges and restructuring costs. Non-operating
special items include costs in relation to closure of operations, profits and losses on disposals of
investments and businesses as well as certain adjustments relating to business combinations.
Remeasurements include adjustments to ensure that the unrealised gains or losses on financial assets
and liabilities are recorded in underlying earnings in the same year as the underlying transaction for which
the instruments provide the economic hedge.
