Additional US GAAP disclosures

Earnings per share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.








Numerator:   2005   2004   2003







Net income/(loss) attributable to Syngenta AG shareholders (US$ million)   556   352   250
Denominator:      
Weighted–average number of shares– basic   100,017,271   105,208,929   101,682,672
Adjustments for dilutive potential ordinary shares:      
Grants of options over Syngenta AG shares   1,023,052   672,031   62,069
Grants of Syngenta AG shares   204,763   134,409   55,158







Weighted–average number of shares–diluted   101,245,086   106,015,369   101,799,899







The following numbers of potential shares outstanding at the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the effect would have been antidilutive:








  2005   2004   2003







Grants of options over Syngenta AG shares to employees   429,188    
Grants of Syngenta AG shares to employees   101,250    
Share repurchase options     4,500,000  







The above potential shares may cause dilution of earnings per share in the future.        

The weighted-average diluted number of shares is lower than the corresponding IFRS number because, for US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS 123(R), the hypothetical share issuance proceeds that Syngenta would have received if all options outstanding during the period had been exercised, must include the excess tax benefits that Syngenta would have received from claiming related tax deductions based on the average share price during the period. For IFRS, the calculation of the hypothetical share issuance proceeds does not include this tax benefit in accordance with IFRS 2. For this reason, the dilutive effect of these options is lower in the US GAAP calculation.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense under US GAAP for intangible assets, excluding goodwill was US$290 million, US$283 million and US$276 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets under US GAAP for each of the five years following the balance sheet date is as follows:

(US$ million)


  2006 305
  2007 229
  2008 223
  2009 222
  2010 206

Earnings per share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.


(US$ million) 2004   2003   2002

Numerator:    
Net income/(loss) attributable to Syngenta AG shareholders 352   250   (198 )
Denominator:    
Weighted-average number of shares basic 105,208,929   101,682,672   101,541,119
Adjustments for dilutive potential ordinary shares:    
Grants of options over Syngenta AG shares 672,031   62,069  
Grants of Syngenta AG shares 134,409   55,158  

Weighted-average number of shares-diluted 106,015,369   101,799,899   101,541,119

An option over 4.5 million ordinary shares with an exercise price of CHF 138 per share was outstanding as from February 10, 2004 and remained outstanding as of December 31, 2004. It has been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as its effect would have been antidilutive.

Options to purchase 1.7 million ordinary shares with exercise prices ranging from CHF 76.5 to CHF 98.0 per share were outstanding during 2003, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. In 2002, as a net loss was incurred, all options outstanding were considered antidilutive for US GAAP.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense under US GAAP for intangible assets, excluding goodwill was US$283 million, US$276 million and US$296 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets under US GAAP for each of the five years following the balance sheet date is as follows:


(US$ million)  

2005   287
2006   287
2007   247
2008   226
2009   225
