Under Indian Accounting Standard 102 (Share-based Payment), if a parent issues its own shares for a share-based payment plan of its subsidiary, and the subsidiary has no obligation to settle the payment, the arrangement is treated as an equity-settled share-based payment for the subsidiary. The subsidiary will record this by debiting employee expenses and crediting capital contribution from the parent.
► Effect in the financial statements of subsidiary
► Effect in P&L : Expense is recognized over the vesting period
► Effect in BS : Corresponding increase recorded under ‘Other
Equity’
► Effect in Cash flow : Being a non-cash expense, it is adjusted
within cash flow from the operating activities
► Accordingly, greater emphasis should be placed on Normalized
EBITDA rather than Reported EBITDA, which is impacted by ESOP cost incurred by the parent company (API Holdings). This is because:
► No cash outflow from Thyrocare & NHL
► No dilution of equity of Thyrocare & NHL
