The calculation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share reflects all possible outstanding common shares and the resulting effect on income of the BASF employee incentive share program “plus.”
There was no dilutive effect in the second quarter and first half of 2015 and in the corresponding periods of 2014; undiluted earnings per share were the same as the diluted value per share.
