Earnings per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock outstanding under Exelon's LTIPs considered to be common stock equivalents. The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share and shows the effect of these stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

          
  Year Ended December 31,
  2012 2011 2010
          
Net income on common stock$1,160 $2,495 $2,563
          
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic 816  663  661
Assumed exercise and/or distributions of stock-based awards  3  2  2
          
Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted 819  665  663

The number of stock options not included in the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding due to their antidilutive effect was approximately 14 million in 2012, 9 million in 2011 and 8 million in 2010.

Under share repurchase programs, 35 million shares of common stock are held as treasury stock with a cost of $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2012. In 2008, Exelon management decided to defer indefinitely any share repurchases.
