     For the Years Ended December 31,  

(in millions)

    2011     2010     2009  

Net earnings attributable to Altria Group, Inc.

Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted and deferred shares

      (13 )      (15 )      (11 ) 
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

  

Earnings for basic and diluted EPS

    $ 3,377      $ 3,890      $ 3,195   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

  

Weighted-average shares for basic EPS

      2,064        2,077        2,066

        2        5   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

  

Weighted-average shares for diluted EPS

For the 2011 and 2010 computations, there were no antidilutive stock options. For the 2009 computation, 0.7 million stock options were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS because their effects were antidilutive.
