Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income for the period with the average number of shares. The average number of shares is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, after repurchase of own shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding with the estimated number of shares from the share programs. Share programs are included in the dilutive potential ordinary shares as from the start of each program. The dilution from Electrolux incentive programs is a consequence of the 2012 and 2013 performance share program.
