Note 20 Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share

The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Group’s share of net income, corrected for dilutive instruments and the payments made during the year to bearers of perpetual subordinated bonds, by the weighted average number of potential shares outstanding over the period after elimination of treasury shares.

The following table shows the reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings used to calculate earnings per share (basic and diluted), and the variation in the weighted average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

The changes in goodwill in 2019 primarily related to:

  • the acquisition of Foxguard by Framatome, acquisition of service entities in Belgium, and the first consolidation of the Cyclife subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Sweden;
  • translation adjustments of €392 million, principally due to the pound sterling’s rise against the euro.

The changes in goodwill in 2018 primarily related to the revised goodwill following finalisation of the business combination accounts for the acquisition of Framatome at 31 December 2017 (€58 million), Edison’s acquisition of Edison Energie (formerly GNVI) and Attiva in Italy (for €80 million and €13 million respectively), and translation adjustments of €(61) million, largely reflecting the pound sterling’s rise against the euro.
