(1)

In accordance with revised accounting standards effective January 2022, a fair value adjustment, if dilutive, of the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer included in applying the if converted method to the 2019 Equity Units. In addition, diluted net income is no longer reduced by the Series A Preferred Stock dividends. No fair value adjustment was necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(2)

Dilutive securities for 2022 consist primarily of the 2019 Equity Units (applying the if converted method as updated effective January 2022), stock expected to be issued to satisfy the obligation under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR (applying the if converted method) as well as forward sales agreements entered into in November 2021 (applying the treasury stock method). See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information.

The 2019 Equity Units and the Q-Pipe Transaction deposit, prior to being settled in cash in July 2021, are potentially dilutive instruments. See Note 3 and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the forward stock purchase contracts included within the 2019 Equity Units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met, the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units was excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations based upon the expectation that the conversion will be settled in cash rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock and a fair value adjustment related to the Series A Preferred Stock included within the 2019 Equity Units is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations, as such fair value adjustment was not dilutive during the period.

The impact of settling the deposit associated with the Q-Pipe Transaction in shares is excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 based upon the expectation Dominion Energy would settle in cash, which occurred in July 2021, rather than through the issuance of Dominion Energy common stock.
