European companies report their share counts in a dozen languages and as many formats. Most screens copy one number and miss the treasury shares, the hybrid bonds and the share consolidations. Europe Radar reads the filings and checks every company by hand.
Sources: annual reports in the European single electronic format (ESEF), read through filings.xbrl.org, and for Germany and Switzerland the companies’ own annual reports. Shares outstanding are issued shares minus treasury shares at each fiscal year end. Every company in the list was checked by hand against its own annual report.
