I excluded from the 11 Companies one company reporting in US$s and another reporting in British Pounds.
I also excluded two companies which didn't have financial statements available for a substantial portion of the 8 year period from 2007 through 2014.
On the positive side, these 11 Dutch Companies generated 2014 Audited Earnings significantly above the depressed 2008 and 2009 worldwide financial meltdown years.
But on the very negative side, the 2014 Total Earnings for these 11 Companies were 18% below that in 2013, and even more importantly a large 46% below the 2007 Total Earnings amount.
Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of these 11 Dutch Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2014, presented in Market Cap order:
