As a result of reported losses during the period, primarily due to the Colstrip lease termination, diluted earnings per share for the PPL total exclude incremental shares as they were anti-dilutive. The impact from the difference in shares is included in the Supply segment.
|
(b)
|
The "If-Converted Method" has been applied to PPL's 2011 Equity Units prior to settlement, resulting in $7 million of interest charges (after- tax) being added back to earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2013, and approximately 33 million shares of PPL Common Stock being treated as outstanding. Both adjustments are only for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

The "If-Converted Method" has been applied to PPL's Equity Units prior to settlement, resulting in $44 million of interest charges (after-tax) being added back to earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, and approximately 53 million shares of PPL Common Stock being treated as outstanding. Both adjustments are only for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.
