What does "EPS" stand for?

Something very funny happened tonight when I was discussing an urgent task with my colleages as we were in a hurry to finish off the translation of a news clipping. The text was about the EPS for a global food company. Just when we were scratching our heads about what EPS stands for, the utterrances bursted out from my mouth: "EPS? Well, it's earnings per share after sex!"

A weird silence fell on me followed by a burst of laughters from my colleagues.. An immediate blush rushed to my cheeks.. What was I thinking about, LOL... :s
