  Normalised headline earnings per share is calculated in a consistent manner as per the latest annual financial statements, by
dividing normalised headline earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Normalised headline earnings is defined as headline earnings excluding (i) metal price lag and (ii) material non-trading expense
or income items which, due to their irregular occurrence, are adjusted for in order to better present earnings attributable to
the ongoing activities of the Group. The presentation of normalised headline earnings is not an IFRS requirement and may not
be directly comparable with the same or similar measures disclosed by other companies.
