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.

Special items that relate to the operating performance of the Group are classified as operating special items and principally include impairment charges and restructuring costs. Remeasurements include unrealised gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities.
