* Taxation includes an exceptional charge of £1.4 million in 2008 relating to the phasing out of industrial buildings allowances and an exceptional credit of £7.2 million in 2007 relating to the change in tax rate and abolition of balancing charges.
† Adjusted to reflect the 4-for-1 share split on 9 January 2007.
Earnings per share growth is distorted by the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS but has been presented for completeness.
