14.7 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:

*Restated for the impacts of IFRS 5 due to the change in scope of E&P operations (see note 1.4.2).

On 8 September 2020, EDF issued unsecured senior Green Bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares of the Company (OCEANEsVertes, see note 18.3.2.2). The diluted earnings per share incorporates the impact of conversion of these bonds, which is possible from 15 December 2020. The impact on the net income used to calculate diluted earnings per share for 2020 is not significant.
