Presentation (paras. 66-69)

66 An entity shall present in the statement of comprehensive income basic and diluted earnings per share for profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent entity and for profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent entity for the period for each class of ordinary shares that has a different right to share in profit for the period. An entity shall present basic and diluted earnings per share with equal prominence for all periods presented.

67 Earnings per share is presented for every period for which a statement of comprehensive income is presented. If diluted earnings per share is reported for at least one period, it shall be reported for all periods presented, even if it equals basic earnings per share. If basic and diluted earnings per share are equal, dual presentation can be accomplished in one line in the statement of comprehensive income.

67A If an entity presents items of profit or loss in a statement of profit or loss separate from a statement presenting comprehensive income as described in paragraph 12(b) of IFRS 18, it presents basic and diluted earnings per share, as required in paragraphs 66 and 67, in the statement of profit or loss.
