9. Dividends
The directors have approved an interim dividend per share of 2.7p (2014: 2.5p)
which will be paid on 7 April 2016 to shareholders on the register at the
close of business on 4 March 2016. The cash cost of the dividend is expected
to be £1.0 million. In accordance with IFRS accounting requirements, as the
dividend was approved after the balance sheet date, it has not been accrued in
the interim consolidated financial statements. A final dividend per share of
3.5p in respect of the 2014/15 financial year was paid at a cash cost of £1.2
million during the six months to 31 December 2015.
10. Share Based Payments
During the period, the group awarded 180,000 options (2014: none) under the
Executive Share Option Scheme ("ESOS"). These options have an exercise price
of 188p and require certain criteria to be fulfilled before vesting. 80,000
existing options (2014: none) were exercised during the period and no ESOS
options (2014: 164,000) lapsed during the period.
Total awards granted under the group's Long Term Incentive Plans ("LTIP")
amounted to 194,413 (2014: nil). LTIP awards have no exercise price but are
dependent on certain vesting criteria being met. During the period no
existing LTIP awards lapsed (2014: 259,328).
11. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the
period attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit
attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, after allowing
for the exercise of outstanding share options. The following sets out the
income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations:
