EPS

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus dilutive potential shares related to PSEG’s stock based compensation. The following table shows the effect of these dilutive potential shares on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted EPS:
