Net Earnings Per Common Share From Continuing Operations
 12 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Earnings Per Common Share From Continuing Operations NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Basic net earnings per share from continuing operations (“EPS”) is calculated by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS from continuing operations is computed by taking net earnings from continuing operations plus the interest accrued on the Company’s LYONs (prior to their redemption in January 22, 2021) less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased with the proceeds from the issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, 1.4 million and 1.0 million options to purchase shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings
per share calculation, as the impact of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2021, no options to purchase shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
Basic and diluted EPS are computed independently for each quarter and annual period, which involves the use of different weighted-average share count figures relating to quarterly and annual periods. As a result, and after factoring the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of prior quarter-to-date EPS figures may not equal annual EPS.
On April 15, 2022, all outstanding shares of the MCPS Series A converted into 11.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The impact of the MCPS Series A calculated under the if-converted method was dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and as such 3.0 million and 11.0 million shares, respectively, underlying the MCPS Series A were included in the calculation of diluted EPS and the related MCPS Series A dividends of $20 million and $78 million were excluded from the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the periods. Refer to Note 19 for additional information about the MCPS Series A conversion.
The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and as such 8.6 million shares underlying the MCPS Series B were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation in each period and the related MCPS Series B dividends of $86 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the periods.
The impact of the MCPS Series A and Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2020 and as such 17.1 million shares underlying the MCPS Series A and Series B were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS and the related MCPS Series A and Series B dividends of $136 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the period.
