20.       EARNINGS PER SHARE (NU)

 

EPS is computed based upon the monthly weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding unallocated ESOP shares, during each period. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the monthly weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect if certain securities are converted into common shares. The computation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of the potential exercise of share awards when the average market price of the common shares is lower than the exercise price of the related awards during the period. These outstanding share awards are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive.  For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were 4,314, 1,578 and 17,637 share awards, respectively, excluded from the computation as these awards were antidilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted EPS:

(Millions of Dollars, except share information)2011 2010 2009
Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interests$ 394.7 $ 387.9 $ 330.0
          
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding:        
 Basic   177,410,167   176,636,086   172,567,928
 Dilutive Effect   394,401   249,301   149,318
 Diluted  177,804,568   176,885,387   172,717,246
Basic EPS$ 2.22 $ 2.20 $ 1.91
Diluted EPS$ 2.22 $ 2.19 $ 1.91

RSUs and performance shares are included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding as of the date that all necessary vesting conditions have been satisfied. The dilutive effect of unvested RSUs and performance shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds of the units under the treasury stock method consist of the remaining compensation cost to be recognized and a theoretical tax benefit. The theoretical tax benefit is calculated as the tax impact of the intrinsic value of the units (the difference between the market value of the average units outstanding for the period, using the average market price during the period, and the grant date market value).

 

The dilutive effect of stock options to purchase common shares is also calculated using the treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds for stock options consist of remaining compensation cost to be recognized, cash proceeds that would be received upon exercise, and a theoretical tax benefit. The theoretical tax benefit is calculated as the tax impact of the intrinsic value of the stock options (the difference between the market value of the average stock options outstanding for the period, using the average market price during the period, and the exercise price).

 

Allocated ESOP shares are included in basic common shares outstanding in the above table.
