Adjusted undiluted headline earnings
Circular 07/02 issued by The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants requires that profits and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment be excluded from the calculation of headline earnings. The directors consider that, given the nature of Textainer’s business model, this treatment of profits and losses on sales of containers from its leasing fleet is not appropriate for a proper understanding of the results of the group. Accordingly, adjusted undiluted headline earnings per share, which includes profits and losses on the sale of containers, is also presented for information.
Headline earnings (as above) 364,4  395,9
Profit on sale of containers 32,4 29,5
Adjusted undiluted headline earnings 396,8 425,4
Adjusted undiluted headline earnings per share (cents) 253,5 274,5

10.  Two IFRS adjustments were identified in the 2006 audit of Textainer, which were not identified in 2005. These relate to the accounting for certain expense provisions and the Textainer stock option plan. Although the impact on the current and prior years (as disclosed in the statements of changes in equity) individually is not material, the comparatives and opening equity position have been restated for the adjustments due to the material cumulative impact thereof.
