group of companies’ shares.<br />

Binomial model<br />

Combined Code<br />

and relations with shareholders.<br />

Convertible bond<br />

A corporate bond that can be exchanged for a specific number<br />

of ordinary shares. Convertible bonds generally have lower<br />

interest rates than non-convertible bonds because they accrue<br />

value as the price of the underlying shares rise. Convertible<br />

bonds therefore reflect a combination of the benefits of shares<br />

and corporate bonds.<br />

and are settled at a future date.<br />

Diluted earnings per share<br />

Diluted earnings per share is earnings per share after allowing<br />

for the dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary shares of<br />

the weighted average number of options outstanding during<br />

the period and shares from the assumed conversion of<br />

convertible bonds.<br />

Earnings per share (EPS)<br />

Earnings per share is a performance measure that expresses<br />

the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by<br />

the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during<br />

the period.<br />

EBITDA<br />

EBITDA represents earnings before finance income, finance costs,<br />

movement in fair value of interest rate swaps, UK income tax,<br />

depreciation, amortisation and profit on sale of non-current assets.<br />

Effective interest rate method<br />

A method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or<br />

financial liability and of allocating the interest income or expense<br />

over the relevant period.<br />

Changes in the valuation of a defined benefit pension scheme<br />

that arise when events have not coincided with the actuarial<br />

assumptions made for the previous valuation.<br />

A method of purchasing an asset by making rental payments<br />

throughout the expected lifetime of the asset. The lessee<br />

shows an asset and a corresponding liability in the balance sheet.<br />

Finance lease payments are accounted for as a reduction in<br />

the liability.
