Underlying earnings

Underlying earnings is net profit attributable to equity shareholders, adjusted to remove special
items and remeasurements, and any related tax and non-controlling interests. Special items are
those items of financial performance that the Group believes should be excluded from
underlying financial performance. Operating special items include impairment charges and
reversals and other exceptional items, including restructuring costs. Non-operating special
items include 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 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 impact arising in US dollar functional currency entities on deferred tax balances.
