DividendsPerShare
A rolling 12 months (latest half year plus prior half year) dividend rate per share as declared by the issuer and adjusted by dilution factors resulting from bonus/rights issues or capital reconstruction. Each half yearly Dividend Rate per Share figure excludes any special cash or scrip dividend declared nearest to that half year. For quarterly dividends the rolling 12 month figure is calculated on a quarterly basis.

EarningsPerShare
Rolling 12 months (latest half year plus prior half year ) earnings per share as announced by the company and adjusted by dilution factors resulting from bonus / rights issues and capital reconstruction. The full year is calculated as follows:

Earning Rate per Share = [Company reported EPS(1) x Dilution Factor(1)] + [Company reported EPS(2) x Dilution Factor(2)]

Where (1) is the latest report and (2) is the report prior to the latest report. All dilution factors which have occurred since the EPS figure was reported by the company will be included in the calculation. The dilution factors are accumulated by multiplying them together if there is more than one in this period.

AssetBacking

Asset Backing is an annual statistic which comes from the latest company reported figure. It is adjusted by dilution factors resulting from bonus/rights issues or capital reconstruction.

The calculation will include any dilution factors which have occurred since the NTA figure was reported by the company. The dilution factors are accumulated by multiplying them together if there is more than one in this period.
