Business english

From the profit after tax, we usually pay dividends to shareholders, and you can see the figure for dividends per share. When business is bad, we may not do this ­ we may pass, omit or skip the dividend. Profit after tax is also referred to as earnings. We keep retained earnings ­ some of the profit to invest in our future activities. In terms of earnings per share(EPS), even if some of these earnings are retained ­ kept by the company and not paid out in dividends.
