EPS in each quarter is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that quarter, while EPS for the full year is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Therefore, the sum of the four quarters’ EPS may not equal the full year computed EPS.

⁽²⁾	EPS and EPS from continuing operations are the same in 2013.
