170、ween the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue for a total cost of$747 million.This amount has been accrued at 31 March 2024.The number of shares in issue is reduced when shares are repurchased,but is not reduced in respect of the period-end

171、commitment to repurchase shares subsequent to the end of the period.The calculation of EpS is performed separately for each discrete quarterly period,and for the year-to-date period.As a result,the sum of the discrete quarterly EpS amounts in any particular year-to-date period may not be equal to th

172、e EpS amount for the year-to-date period.For the diluted EpS calculation the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the number of shares that are potentially issuable in connection with employee share-based payment plans using the treasury stock method.FirstF

223、t to period-on-period analysis of the groups results and are disclosed in order to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the groups reported financial performance.Adjusting items include gains and losses on the sale of businesses and fixed assets,impairments,environmental and other prov

224、isions and charges,restructuring,integration and rationalization costs,fair value accounting effects and costs relating to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and other items.Adjusting items within equity-accounted earnings are reported net of incremental income tax reported by the equity-accounted entity.

225、Adjusting items are used as a reconciling adjustment to derive underlying RC profit or loss and related underlying measures which are non-IFRS measures.An analysis of adjusting items by segment and type is shown on page 26.Blue hydrogen Hydrogen made from natural gas in combination with carbon captu

226、re and storage(CCS).Capital expenditure is total cash capital expenditure as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement.Capital expenditure for the operating segments,gas&low carbon energy businesses and customers&products businesses is presented on the same basis.Cash balance point is define

228、nistration expenses and excludes costs that are classified as adjusting items.They represent the substantial majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but exclude certain costs that are variable,primarily with volumes(such as freight costs).Management believes that cash costs is a perfo

229、rmance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the companys financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain foreign exchange and commo

232、it or loss is calculated by dividing taxation on a RC basis by RC profit or loss before tax.Taxation on a RC basis for the group is calculated as taxation as stated on the group income statement adjusted for taxation on inventory holding gains and losses.Information on RC profit or loss is provided

233、below.bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ETR on RC profit or loss because this measure excludes the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories and allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods.Taxation on a RC basis and ETR on RC profit or loss are non-IFRS m

234、easures.The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period.Electric vehicle charge points/EV charge points are defined as the number of connectors on a charging device,operated by either bp or a bp joint venture as adjusted to be reflective of bps accounting

235、share of joint arrangements.BP p.l.c.Group resultsFirst quarter 202430Glossary(continued)Fair value accounting effects are non-IFRS adjustments to our IFRS profit(loss).They reflect the difference between the way bp manages the economic exposure and internally measures performance of certain activit

236、ies and the way those activities are measured under IFRS.Fair value accounting effects are included within adjusting items.They relate to certain of the groups commodity,interest rate and currency risk exposures as detailed below.Other than as noted below,the fair value accounting effects described

237、are reported in both the gas&low carbon energy and customer&products segments.bp uses derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil,natural gas and petroleum products.Under IFRS,these inventories are recorded at histor

238、ical cost.The related derivative instruments,however,are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in the income statement.This is because hedge accounting is either not permitted or not followed,principally due to the impracticality of effectiveness-testing requirements

239、.Therefore,measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses occur.Gains and losses on these inventories,other than net realizable value provisions,are not recognized until the commodity is sold in a subsequent accounting period.Gains and losses on the related derivative commodi

240、ty contracts are recognized in the income statement,from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into,on a fair value basis using forward prices consistent with the contract maturity.bp enters into physical commodity contracts to meet certain business requirements,such as the purchase

241、of crude for a refinery or the sale of bps gas production.Under IFRS these physical contracts are treated as derivatives and are required to be fair valued when they are managed as part of a larger portfolio of similar transactions.Gains and losses arising are recognized in the income statement from

242、 the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into.IFRS require that inventory held for trading is recorded at its fair value using period-end spot prices,whereas any related derivative commodity instruments are required to be recorded at values based on forward prices consistent with the c

243、ontract maturity.Depending on market conditions,these forward prices can be either higher or lower than spot prices,resulting in measurement differences.bp enters into contracts for pipelines and other transportation,storage capacity,oil and gas processing,liquefied natural gas(LNG)and certain gas a

244、nd power contracts that,under IFRS,are recorded on an accruals basis.These contracts are risk-managed using a variety of derivative instruments that are fair valued under IFRS.This results in measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses.The way that bp manages the economic

245、exposures described above,and measures performance internally,differs from the way these activities are measured under IFRS.bp calculates this difference for consolidated entities by comparing the IFRS result with managements internal measure of performance.We believe that disclosing managements est

246、imate of this difference provides useful information for investors because it enables investors to see the economic effect of these activities as a whole.These include:Under managements internal measure of performance the inventory,transportation and capacity contracts in question are valued based o

247、n fair value using relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period.Fair value accounting effects also include changes in the fair value of the near-term portions of LNG contracts that fall within bps risk management framework.LNG contracts are not considered derivatives,because there is

248、insufficient market liquidity,and they are therefore accrual accounted under IFRS.However,oil and natural gas derivative financial instruments used to risk manage the near-term portions of the LNG contracts are fair valued under IFRS.The fair value accounting effect,which is reported in the gas and

249、low carbon energy segment,represents the change in value of LNG contacts that are being risk managed and which is reflected in the underlying result,but not in reported earnings.Management believes that this gives a better representation of performance in each period.Furthermore,the fair values of d

250、erivative instruments used to risk manage certain other oil,gas,power and other contracts,are deferred to match with the underlying exposure.The commodity contracts for business requirements are accounted for on an accruals basis.In addition,fair value accounting effects include changes in the fair

251、value of derivatives entered into by the group to manage currency exposure and interest rate risks relating to hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods.The hybrid bonds which wereissued on 17 June 2020 are classified as equity instruments and were recorded in the balance sheet at that dat

252、e at their USD equivalent issued value.Under IFRS these equity instruments are not remeasured from period to period,and do not qualify for application of hedge accounting.The derivative instruments relating to the hybrid bonds,however,are required to be recorded at fair value with mark to market gai

253、ns and losses recognized in the income statement.Therefore,measurement differences in relation to the recognition of gains and losses occur.The fair value accounting effect,which is reported in the other businesses&corporate segment,eliminates the fair value gains and losses of these derivative fina

254、ncial instruments that are recognized in the income statement.We believe that this gives a better representation of performance,by more appropriately reflecting the economic effect of these risk management activities,in each period.Gas&low carbon energy segment comprises our gas and low carbon busin

255、esses.Our gas business includes regions with upstream activities that predominantly produce natural gas,integrated gas and power,and gas trading.Our low carbon business includes solar,offshore and onshore wind,hydrogen and CCS and power trading.Power trading includes trading of both renewable and no

256、n-renewable power.BP p.l.c.Group resultsFirst quarter 202431Glossary(continued)Gearing and net debt are non-IFRS measures.Net debt is calculated as finance debt,as shown in the balance sheet,plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge foreign currency ex

269、in first-out(FIFO)method after adjusting for any changes in provisions where the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost.Under the FIFO method,which we use for IFRS reporting of inventories other than for trading inventories,the cost of inventory charged to the income statement

270、is based on its historical cost of purchase or manufacture,rather than its replacement cost.In volatile energy markets,this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income.The amounts disclosed as inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the charge to the incom

271、e statement for inventory on a FIFO basis(after adjusting for any related movements in net realizable value provisions)and the charge that would have arisen based on the replacement cost of inventory.For this purpose,the replacement cost of inventory is calculated using data from each operations pro

289、riod and is calculated as profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders,adjusting for inventory holding gains and losses(net of tax).RC profit or loss for the group is not a recognized IFRS measure.bp believes this measure is useful to illustrate to investors the fact that crude oil and product pri

290、ces can vary significantly from period to period and that the impact on our reported result under IFRS can be significant.Inventory holding gains and losses vary from period to period due to changes in prices as well as changes in underlying inventory levels.In order for investors to understand the

291、operating performance of the group excluding the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories,and to make comparisons of operating performance between reporting periods,bps management believes it is helpful to disclose this measure.The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is prof
