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.
