Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

We calculated basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) using the following:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2024		2023
Net earnings	$	2,129	$	1,787
Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to share-based awards	(5)		(3)
Earnings for basic and diluted EPS	$	2,124	$	1,784
Weighted-average shares for basic and diluted EPS	1,758		1,786

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in our EPS calculation pursuant to the two-class method.
