Diluted earnings per share is related to outstanding share-based LTI programs for 2019 and 2021. For LTI program for 2020 no performance shares were allotted since the performance targets set by the Board of Directors were not met. Further information about the LTI programs are found in note G4.

Accounting principles

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The earnings per share is calculated both for the Group total as well as for the continuing operations.

When calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which during reported periods relates to share-based payment arrangements issued to employees. All LTI programs within Sandvik are performance-based and are regarded as giving a potential dilutive effect. The shared-based awards are dilutive if the exercise price is less than the quoted stock price and increases with the size of the difference.
