Underlying Earnings

Underlying Earnings is net profit attributable to equity shareholders, adjusted
for the effect of special items and remeasurements, and any related tax and
minority interests. Special items include those items of financial performance
which the Group believes should be excluded from performance earnings, and
principally relate to impairment and significant closure costs, exceptional
legal provisions and profit or loss on disposals. 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.
