EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if options granted under various share-based compensation plans were exercised resulting in the issuance of common shares that would participate in the earnings of the entity. Net income (loss) per common share has been computed as shown below, based upon weighted average common basic and dilutive shares outstanding. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts) | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 | Net income (loss) per share: | | | | | | | | Numerator | | | | | | | | Net income (loss) | $ | 509 | | $ | 678 | | $ | 1,966 | | $ | 1,713 | Less: dividends declared - common shares and unvested common shares | (86) | | (76) | | (249) | | (212) | Undistributed earnings | 423 | | 602 | | 1,717 | | 1,501 | Percentage allocated to common shareholders (1) | 98.8% | | 98.9% | | 98.8% | | 98.8% | | 418 | | 595 | | 1,697 | | 1,483 | Add: dividends declared - common shareholders | 85 | | 75 | | 246 | | 210 | Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share | $ | 503 | | $ | 671 | | $ | 1,943 | | $ | 1,693 | | | | | | | | | Denominator | | | | | | | | Denominator for basic earnings per weighted-average common shares | 42.6 | | 42.9 | | 42.8 | | 40.8 | Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | | | | Options | — | | — | | — | | — | Denominator for diluted earnings per adjusted weighted-average common shares | 42.6 | | 42.9 | | 42.8 | | 40.8 | | | | | | | | | Per common share net income (loss) | | | | | | | | Basic | $ | 11.80 | | $ | 15.63 | | $ | 45.40 | | $ | 41.49 | Diluted | $ | 11.80 | | $ | 15.63 | | $ | 45.40 | | $ | 41.49 | | | | | | | | | (1) Basic weighted - average common shares outstanding | 42.6 | | 42.9 | | 42.8 | | 40.8 | Basic weighted - average common shares outstanding and unvested common shares expected to vest | 43.1 | | 43.4 | | 43.3 | | 41.3 | Percentage allocated to common shareholders | 98.8% | | 98.9% | | 98.8% | | 98.8% |
