9.       Computation of basic/diluted earnings per common share

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (amounts in millions, except per share data):

     Three Months Ended March 31,
     2013 2012
          
Numerator:      
 Consolidated net income $456 $384
  Less: Distributed earnings to unvested      
   stock-based awards that participate      
   in earnings  (5)  (4)
  Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to      
   unvested stock-based awards that     
   participate in earnings  (5)  (3)
 Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per      
  common share - net income available to      
  common shareholders  446  377
          
Denominator:      
 Denominator for basic earnings per common      
  share - weighted-average common      
  shares outstanding  1,113  1,120
          
 Effect of potential dilutive common shares      
  under the treasury stock method:      
  Employee stock options  7  7
  Denominator for diluted earnings per      
   common share - weighted-average      
   common shares outstanding plus      
   dilutive effect of employee stock      
   options  1,120  1,127
          
Basic earnings per common share $ 0.40 $ 0.34
          
Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.40 $ 0.33

Our unvested restricted stock rights, which consist of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and performance shares, are considered participating securities, as these securities have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the contractual period of the award. Since the unvested restricted stock rights are considered participating securities, we are required to use the two-class method in our computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had outstanding unvested restricted stock rights with respect to 26 million and 19 million shares of common stock on a weighted-average basis, respectively.

Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per common share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, options to acquire 14 million and 20 million shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
