Earnings Per Share

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the calculation of Dominion Energy’s basic and diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
(millions, except EPS)
Net loss attributable to Dominion Energy	$	(270	)	$	(680	)
Preferred stock dividends (see Note 16)		(16	)		—
Net loss attributable to Dominion Energy – Basic & Diluted		(286	)		(680	)
Average shares of common stock outstanding – Basic & Diluted		838.2			793.1
Earnings Per Common Share – Basic & Diluted	$	(0.34	)	$	(0.86	)

As a result of a net loss for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the issuance of common stock under potentially-dilutive securities, as discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, was considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
