20.    Earnings Per Share and Equity (Exelon)

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,
  2013 2012 2011
          
Net income attributable to common shareholders$1,719 $1,160 $2,495
          
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic 856  816  663
Assumed exercise and/or distributions of stock-based awards  4  3  2
          
Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted 860  819  665

The number of stock options not included in the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding due to their antidilutive effect was approximately 20 million in 2013, 14 million in 2012 and 9 million in 2011.

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, 2013. In 2008, Exelon management decided to defer indefinitely any share repurchases.

Preferred Securities Redemption (Exelon and PECO)

On May 1, 2013, PECO redeemed all of its outstanding preferred securities. PECO had $87 million of cumulative preferred securities that were redeemable at its option at any time for the redemption price established when each series of securities were issued. The redemption premium of $6 million is treated as a reduction to Net income to arrive at Net income attributable to common shareholders utilized in the calculation of earnings per share for Exelon for the year ending December 31, 2013. As a result of the redemption, PECO is now indirectly, wholly-owned by Exelon.
