## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 260 sets the rules for computing, presenting, and disclosing basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly traded common stock or potential common stock. Basic EPS is income available to common stockholders (income reduced by preferred dividends declared or cumulatively accumulated, excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding (260-10-45-10 through 45-11A), while diluted EPS layers in all dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method for options and warrants (260-10-45-22 through 45-29), the reverse treasury stock method for written puts and forward purchases, and the if-converted method for convertible securities (260-10-45-40). The pieces fit together through a discipline of dilution: each issue is tested separately, ranked most to least dilutive, antidilutive items are excluded, and income (loss) from continuing operations is the control number, so a loss from continuing operations bars inclusion of any potential common shares (260-10-45-17 through 45-20). Specialized rules address contingently issuable and contingently convertible shares, the two-class method for participating securities (including unvested awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights), down round features treated as a deemed dividend, and master limited partnership earnings per unit.

## ASC 260-10: Earnings Per Share — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 260-10 governs the computation, presentation, and disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) by entities with publicly traded common stock or potential common stock (or entities in registration). Basic EPS divides income available to common stockholders (income less preferred dividends) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding (260-10-45-10 through 45-11); diluted EPS adds all dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method for options/warrants, the reverse treasury stock method for written puts and forward purchases, and the if-converted method for convertible securities, never assuming antidilutive conversions (260-10-45-16 through 45-45). The subtopic also covers the two-class method for participating securities, contingently issuable shares, down round features, and master limited partnership earnings per unit.",
  "key_points": [
    "Entities with only common stock outstanding present basic per-share amounts for income from continuing operations and net income; all other entities present basic and diluted amounts with equal prominence on the face of the income statement (260-10-45-2), and EPS is not required of investment companies under Topic 946 or in wholly owned subsidiary statements (260-10-15-3).",
    "Basic EPS = income available to common stockholders (income from continuing operations and net income, reduced by preferred dividends declared and cumulative preferred dividends accumulated, excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interests) ÷ weighted-average common shares outstanding (260-10-45-10, 45-11, 45-11A).",
    "Diluted EPS uses the treasury stock method for options, warrants, and share-based awards (assumed exercise at period-beginning with proceeds used to repurchase shares at the average market price) (260-10-45-22 through 45-23, 45-28A through 45-29) and the if-converted method for convertible securities (add back preferred dividends or after-tax interest and assume conversion at the beginning of the period) (260-10-45-40).",
    "Antidilutive securities are excluded; each issue is tested separately and sequenced from most to least dilutive, and income (loss) from continuing operations is the control number, so when a loss from continuing operations exists no potential common shares are included in any diluted per-share amount (260-10-45-17 through 45-20).",
    "Contingently issuable shares enter basic EPS only when all conditions are satisfied (260-10-45-13) but enter diluted EPS based on whether conditions would be met if the reporting period end were the end of the contingency period (260-10-45-48 through 45-54); contingently convertible instruments are included if dilutive regardless of whether a market price trigger is met (260-10-45-44).",
    "All participating securities—including unvested share-based payment awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights—must be included in basic EPS using the two-class method, allocating declared dividends and then undistributed earnings as if all earnings had been distributed (260-10-45-60A, 45-60B, 45-61A, 45-65).",
    "When a down round feature in an equity-classified freestanding instrument or convertible preferred stock is triggered, its value (the fair value difference before and after the strike price reduction, per 260-10-30-1) is treated as a dividend reducing income available to common stockholders and is not subsequently remeasured or amortized (260-10-25-1, 45-12B, 35-1); required disclosures include a numerator/denominator reconciliation and antidilutive securities excluded (260-10-50-1)."

Publicly traded master limited partnerships often issue multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions according to a formula specified in the partnership agreement. A typical master limited partnership consists of publicly traded common units held by limited partners, a general partner interest, and incentive distribution rights. Depending on the structure of the master limited partnership, the incentive distribution rights may be a separate class of nonvoting limited partner interest that the general partner initially holds but generally may transfer or sell apart from its overall interest. Alternatively, the incentive distribution rights may be embedded in the general partner interest such that they cannot be detached and transferred apart from the general partner's overall interest.

Generally, the partnership agreement obligates the general partner to distribute 100 percent of the partnership's available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) at the end of each reporting period to the general partner and limited partners via a distribution waterfall (that is, a schedule that prescribes distributions to the general partner and limited partners at each threshold) within a contractually determined period of time following the end of a reporting period. When certain thresholds are met, the distribution waterfall further allocates available cash to the holder of the separate class of nonvoting limited partner interest (the incentive distribution right holder) or, when the incentive distribution right is embedded in the general partner interest, to the general partner. The net income (or loss) of the partnership is allocated to the capital accounts of the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of income or losses specified in the partnership agreement, but only after taking into account any priority income allocations resulting from incentive distributions.

A master limited partnership may issue incentive distribution rights that are a separate class of nonvoting limited partner interest that the general partner initially holds or incentive distribution rights that are embedded in the general partner interest and therefore cannot be detached or transferred apart from the general partner's overall interest. Incentive distribution rights that are a separate class of non-voting limited partner interest generally may be transferred or sold apart from the general partner interest. The Master Limited Partnership Subsections apply to all master limited partnerships that meet both of the following criteria:

1.  a
    
    The partnership is required to make incentive distributions when certain thresholds have been met (regardless of whether the incentive distribution rights are a separate limited partner interest or embedded in the general partner interest)
    
2.  b
    
    The partnership accounts for the incentive distributions as equity distributions (as opposed to compensation costs).
    

The determination of whether the incentive distribution is an equity distribution or compensation cost is outside the scope of the Master Limited Partnership Subsection.

Basic EPS shall be computed by dividing [income available to common stockholders](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#income-available-to-common-stockholders "Income (or loss) from continuing operations or net income (or net loss) adjusted for preferred stock dividends.") (the numerator) by the [weighted-average number of common shares outstanding](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/w/#weighted-average-number-of-common-shares-outstanding "The number of shares determined by relating the portion of time within a reporting period that common shares have been outstanding to the total time in that period. In computing diluted EPS, equivalent common shares are considered for all dilutive potential common shares.") (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period shall be weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. See Example 1 (paragraph [260-10-55-38](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-38)) for an illustration of this guidance.

Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on [preferred stock](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#preferred-stock "A security that has preferential rights compared to common stock.") (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. If there is a loss from continuing operations or a net loss, the amount of the loss shall be increased by those preferred dividends. An adjustment to net income or loss for preferred stock dividends is required for all preferred stock dividends, regardless of the form of payment. Preferred dividends that are cumulative only if earned shall be deducted only to the extent that they are earned.

Preferred stock dividends that an issuer has paid or intends to pay in its own common shares shall be deducted from net income (or added to the amount of a net loss) in computing income available to common stockholders. In certain cases, the dividends may be payable in common shares or cash at the issuer's option. The adjustment to net income (or net loss) for preferred stock dividends payable in common stock in computing income available to common stockholders is consistent with the treatment of common stock issued for goods or services.

Shares issuable for little or no cash consideration upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (contingently issuable shares) shall be considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic EPS as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied (in essence, when issuance of the shares is no longer contingent). Outstanding common shares that are contingently returnable (that is, subject to recall) shall be treated in the same manner as contingently issuable shares. Thus, contingently issuable shares include shares that meet any of the following criteria:

    They will be issued in the future upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.
    
2.  b

    They have been issued but the holder must return all or part if specified conditions are not met.

The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted in accordance with the guidance in paragraph [260-10-45-40](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-40). Adjustments also may be necessary for certain contracts that provide the issuer or holder with a choice between settlement methods. See Example 1 (paragraph [260-10-55-38](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-38)) for an illustration of this guidance.

The computation of diluted EPS shall not assume conversion, exercise, or [contingent issuance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contingent-issuance "A possible issuance of shares of common stock that is dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions.") of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on EPS. Shares issued on actual conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of certain conditions for which the underlying potential common shares were antidilutive shall be included in the computation as outstanding common shares from the date of conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of those conditions, respectively. In determining whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive, each issue or series of issues of potential common shares shall be considered separately rather than in the aggregate.

Convertible securities may be dilutive on their own but antidilutive when included with other potential common shares in computing diluted EPS. To reflect maximum potential dilution, each issue or series of issues of potential common shares shall be considered in sequence from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. That is, dilutive potential common shares with the lowest earnings per incremental share shall be included in diluted EPS before those with a higher earnings per incremental share. Example 4 (see paragraph [260-10-55-57](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-57)) illustrates that provision. Options and warrants generally will be included first because use of the treasury stock method does not affect the numerator of the computation. An entity that reports a discontinued operation in a period shall use income from continuing operations (adjusted for preferred dividends as described in paragraph [260-10-45-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-11)) as the control number in determining whether those potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive.

(See paragraph [260-10-45-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-3).)

Including potential common shares in the denominator of a diluted per-share computation for continuing operations always will result in an antidilutive per-share amount when an entity has a loss from continuing operations or a loss from continuing operations available to common stockholders (that is, after any preferred dividend deductions). Although including those potential common shares in the other diluted per-share computations may be dilutive to their comparable basic per-share amounts, no potential common shares shall be included in the computation of any diluted per-share amount when a loss from continuing operations exists, even if the entity reports net income.

The control number for determining whether including potential common shares in the diluted EPS computation would be antidilutive should be income from continuing operations (or a similar line item above net income if it appears on the income statement). As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed, even if an entity has net income after adjusting for a discontinued operation. Similarly, if an entity has income from continuing operations but its preferred dividend adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders in accordance with paragraph [260-10-45-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-11) results in a loss from continuing operations available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS.

Changes in an entity's share price may affect the exercise price of a financial instrument or the number of shares that would be used to settle the financial instrument. For example, when the principal of a convertible debt instrument is required to be settled in cash but the conversion premium is required to (or may) be settled in shares, the number of shares to be included in the diluted EPS denominator is affected by the entity's share price. In applying both the treasury stock method and the if-converted method of calculating diluted EPS, the average market price shall be used for purposes of calculating the denominator for diluted EPS when the number of shares that may be issued is variable, except for contingently issuable shares within the scope of the guidance in paragraphs

Awards of share [options](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#option "Unless otherwise stated, a call option that gives the holder the right to purchase shares of common stock from the reporting entity in accordance with an agreement upon payment of a specified amount. Options include, but are not limited to, options granted and stock purchase agreements entered into with grantees. Options are considered securities. See Call Option.") and nonvested shares (as defined in Topic 718) to be issued to a grantee under a share-based payment arrangement are considered options for purposes of computing diluted EPS. Such share-based awards shall be considered to be outstanding as of the grant date for purposes of computing diluted EPS even though their exercise may be contingent upon vesting. Those share-based awards are included in the diluted EPS computation even if the grantee may not receive (or be able to sell) the stock until some future date. Accordingly, all shares to be issued shall be included in computing diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of share-based payment arrangements shall be computed using the [treasury stock method](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#treasury-stock-method "A method of recognizing the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted EPS. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period."). If the equity share options or other equity instruments are outstanding for only part of a period, the shares issuable shall be weighted to reflect the portion of the period during which the equity instruments were outstanding. See Example 8 (paragraph [260-10-55-68](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-68)).

In applying the treasury stock method, all dilutive potential common shares, regardless of whether they are exercisable, are treated as if they had been exercised. The treasury stock method assumes that the proceeds upon exercise are used to repurchase the entity's stock, reducing the number of shares to be added to outstanding common stock in computing EPS.

For example, an entity sells 100 put options with an exercise price of $25; the average market price for the period is $20. In computing diluted EPS at the end of the period, the entity assumes it issues 125 shares at $20 per share to satisfy its put obligation of $2,500. The difference between the 125 shares issued and the 100 shares received from satisfying the [put option](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#put-option "A contract that allows the holder to sell a specified quantity of stock to the writer of the contract at a fixed price during a given period.")

Contracts such as purchased put options and purchased call options (options held by the entity on its own stock) shall not be included in the computation of diluted EPS because including them would be antidilutive.

Under that method:

1.  a
    
    If an entity has convertible preferred stock outstanding, the preferred dividends applicable to convertible preferred stock shall be added back to the numerator. The amount of preferred dividends added back will be the amount of preferred dividends for convertible preferred stock deducted from income from continuing operations (and from net income) in computing income available to common stockholders pursuant to paragraph [260-10-45-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-11).
    
2.  b
    
    If an entity has convertible debt outstanding:
    
    1.  1
        
        Interest charges applicable to the convertible debt shall be added back to the numerator. For convertible debt for which the principal is required to be paid in cash, the interest charges shall not be added back to the numerator.
        
    2.  2
        
        To the extent nondiscretionary adjustments based on income made during the period would have been computed differently had the interest on convertible debt never been recognized, the numerator shall be appropriately adjusted. Nondiscretionary adjustments include any expenses or charges that are determined based on the income (loss) for the period, such as profit-sharing and royalty agreements.
        
    3.  3
        
        The numerator shall be adjusted for the income tax effect of (b)(1) and (b)(2).
        
3.  c
    
    The convertible preferred stock or convertible debt shall be assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares shall be included in the denominator. See paragraph [260-10-45-21A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-21A) if the incremental shares are variable (such as when calculating a conversion premium).

In applying the if-converted method, conversion shall not be assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be antidilutive. Convertible preferred stock is antidilutive whenever the amount of the dividend declared in or accumulated for the current period per common share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic EPS. Similarly, convertible debt is antidilutive whenever its interest (net of tax and nondiscretionary adjustments) per common share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic EPS.

Dilutive securities that are issued during a period and dilutive convertible securities for which conversion options lapse, for which preferred stock is redeemed, or for which related debt is extinguished during a period, shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS for the period that they were outstanding. Likewise, dilutive convertible securities converted during a period shall be included in the denominator for the period prior to actual conversion. The common shares issued upon actual conversion shall be included in the denominator for the period after the date of conversion. Consequently, shares assumed issued shall be weighted for the period the convertible securities were outstanding, and common shares actually issued shall be weighted for the period the shares were outstanding.

Examples of contingently convertible instruments include contingently convertible debt, contingently convertible preferred stock, and the instrument described by paragraph 260-10-45-43, all with embedded market price triggers.") vary, a typical instrument includes a market price trigger that exceeds a specified conversion price of the issuer's underlying stock price on the date of issuance by a specified percentage (for example, 10 percent, 20 percent, or 30 percent). Some contingently convertible instruments have floating market price triggers for which conversion is dependent upon the market price of the issuer's stock exceeding the conversion price by a specified percentage or percentages at specified times during the term of the debt. Other contingently convertible instruments require that the market price of the issuer's stock exceed a specified level for a specified period (for example, 20 percent above the conversion price for a 30-day period). In addition, contingently convertible instruments may have additional features such as parity features, issuer call options, and investor put options.

Contingently convertible instruments shall be included in diluted EPS (if dilutive) regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. There is no substantive economic difference between contingently convertible instruments and convertible instruments with a market price conversion premium. The treatment for diluted EPS shall not differ because of a contingent market price trigger. The guidance provided in this paragraph also shall be applied to instruments that have multiple contingencies if one of the contingencies is a market price trigger and the instrument is convertible or settleable in shares based on meeting a market condition—that is, the conversion is not dependent (or no longer dependent) on a substantive non-market-based contingency. For example, this guidance applies if an instrument is convertible upon meeting a market price trigger or a substantive non-market-based contingency (for example, a change in control). Alternatively, if the instrument is convertible upon achieving both a market price trigger and a substantive non-market-based contingency, this guidance would not apply until the non-market-based contingency has been met. See Example 11 (paragraph [260-10-55-78](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-78)) for an illustration of this guidance.

Shares whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS as follows:

1.  a
    
    If all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the [contingent stock agreement](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contingent-stock-agreement "An agreement to issue common stock (usually in connection with a business combination) that is dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions.

    If all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS shall be based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the contingent stock agreement, if later).

If attainment or maintenance of a specified amount of earnings is the condition and if that amount has been attained, the additional shares shall be considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The diluted EPS computation shall include those shares that would be issued under the conditions of the contract based on the assumption that the current amount of earnings will remain unchanged until the end of the agreement, but only if the effect would be dilutive. Because the amount of earnings may change in a future period, basic EPS shall not include such contingently issuable shares because all necessary conditions have not been satisfied.

The number of shares contingently issuable may depend on the market price of the stock at a future date. In that case, computations of diluted EPS shall reflect the number of shares that would be issued based on the current market price at the end of the period being reported on if the effect is dilutive. If the condition is based on an average of market prices over some period of time, the average for that period shall be used. Because the market price may change in a future period, basic EPS shall not include such contingently issuable shares because all necessary conditions have not been satisfied.

In some cases, the number of shares contingently issuable may depend on both future earnings and future prices of the shares. In that case, the determination of the number of shares included in diluted EPS shall be based on both conditions, that is, earnings to date and current market price—as they exist at the end of each reporting period. If both conditions are not met at the end of the reporting period, no contingently issuable shares shall be included in diluted EPS.

The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a [participating security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#participating-security "A security that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock, whether that participation is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event or not. The form of such participation does not have to be a dividend—that is, any form of participation in undistributed earnings would constitute participation by that security, regardless of whether the payment to the security holder was referred to as a dividend.") as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders but does not require the presentation of basic and diluted EPS for securities other than common stock. The presentation of basic and diluted EPS for a participating security other than common stock is not precluded.

Under the two-class method:

1.  a
    
    Income from continuing operations (or net income) shall be reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends (or interest on participating income bonds) that must be paid for the current period (for example, unpaid cumulative dividends). Dividends declared in the current period do not include dividends declared in respect of prior-year unpaid cumulative dividends. Preferred dividends that are cumulative only if earned are deducted only to the extent that they are earned.
    
2.  b
    
    The remaining earnings shall be allocated to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to each security shall be determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation feature.
    
3.  c
    
    The total earnings allocated to each security shall be divided by the number of outstanding shares of the security to which the earnings are allocated to determine the EPS for the security.
    
4.  d
    
    Basic and diluted EPS data shall be presented for each class of common stock.
    

For the diluted EPS computation, outstanding common shares shall include all potential common shares assumed issued. Example 6 (see paragraph [260-10-55-62](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-62)) illustrates the two-class method.

Dividends or dividend equivalents transferred to the holder of a [convertible security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#convertible-security "A security that is convertible into another security based on a conversion rate. For example, convertible preferred stock that is convertible into common stock on a two-for-one basis (two shares of common for each share of preferred).") in the form of a reduction to the conversion price or an increase in the conversion ratio of the security do not represent participation rights. This guidance applies similarly to other contracts (securities) to issue an entity's common stock if these contracts (securities) provide for an adjustment to the exercise price that is tied to the declaration of dividends by the issuer. The scope of the guidance in this paragraph excludes forward contracts to issue an entity's own equity shares.

In a forward contract to issue an entity's own equity shares, a provision that reduces the contract price per share when dividends are declared on the issuing entity's common stock represents a participation right. Such a provision constitutes a participation right because it results in a noncontingent transfer of value to the holder of the forward contract for dividends declared during the forward contract period. That is, the forward contract holder has a right to participate in the undistributed earnings of the issuing entity because a dividend declaration by the issuing entity results in a transfer of value to the holder of the forward contract through a reduction in the forward purchase price per share. Because that value transfer is not contingent-as opposed to a similar reduction in the exercise price of an option or [warrant](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/w/#warrant "A security that gives the holder the right to purchase shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the instrument, usually upon payment of a specified amount.")\-the forward contract is a participating security, regardless of whether, during the period the contract is outstanding, a dividend is declared.

Undistributed earnings for a period shall be allocated to a participating security based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. If the terms of the participating security do not specify objectively determinable, nondiscretionary participation rights, then undistributed earnings would not be allocated based on arbitrary assumptions. For example, if an entity could avoid distribution of earnings to a participating security, even if all of the earnings for the year were distributed, then no allocation of that period's earnings to the participating security would be made. Paragraphs

An entity would allocate losses to a nonconvertible participating security in periods of net loss if, based on the contractual terms of the participating security, the security had not only the right to participate in the earnings of the issuer, but also a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the issuing entity on a basis that was objectively determinable. Determination of whether a participating security holder has an obligation to share in the losses of the issuing entity in a given period shall be made on a period-by-period basis, based on the contractual rights and obligations of the participating security. The holder of a participating security would have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the issuing entity if either of the following conditions is present:

1.  a
    
    The holder is obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity (that is, the holder is obligated to transfer assets to the issuer in excess of the holder's initial investment in the participating security without any corresponding increase in the holder's investment interest).
    
2.  b
    
    The contractual principal or mandatory redemption amount of the participating security is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity.

A convertible participating security should be included in the computation of basic EPS in periods of net loss if, based on its contractual terms, the convertible participating security has the contractual obligation to share in the losses of the issuing entity on a basis that is objectively determinable. The guidance in this paragraph also applies to the inclusion of convertible participating securities in basic EPS, irrespective of the differences that may exist between convertible and nonconvertible securities. That is, an entity should not automatically exclude a convertible participating security from the computation of basic EPS if an entity has a net loss from continuing operations. Determination of whether a participating security holder has an obligation to share in the losses of the issuing entity in a given period shall be made on a period-by-period basis, based on the contractual rights and obligations of the participating security.

Paragraph [718-10-55-45](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-55-45) requires that nonrefundable dividends or dividend equivalents paid on awards for which the requisite service is not (or is not expected to be) rendered be recognized as additional compensation cost and that dividends or dividend equivalents paid on awards for which the requisite service is (or is expected to be) rendered be charged to retained earnings. As a result, an entity shall not include dividends or dividend equivalents that are accounted for as compensation cost in the earnings allocation in computing EPS. To do so would include the dividend as a reduction of earnings available to common shareholders from both compensation cost and distributed earnings. _Undistributed_ earnings shall be allocated to all share-based payment awards outstanding during the period, including those for which the requisite service is not expected to be rendered (or is not rendered because of forfeiture during the period, if an entity elects to account for forfeitures when they occur in accordance with paragraph [718-10-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-3)). An entity's estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service is not expected to be rendered (or no estimate, if the entity has elected to account for forfeitures when they occur in accordance with paragraph [718-10-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-3)) for the purpose of determining EPS under this Topic shall be consistent with the estimate used for the purposes of recognizing compensation cost under Topic 718. Paragraph [718-10-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-3) requires that an entity apply a change in the estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service is not expected to be rendered in the period that the change in estimate occurs. This change in estimate will affect net income in the current period; however, a current-period change in an entity's expected forfeiture rate would not affect prior-period EPS calculations. See [Example 9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#55-implementation-guidance-and-illustrations) for an illustration of this guidance.

Incentive distribution rights that are a separate class of limited partner interest are participating securities because they have a right to participate in earnings with common equity holders. Therefore, current-period earnings shall be allocated to the general partner, limited partner, and incentive distribution right holder using the two-class method to calculate earnings per unit.

Incentive distribution rights that are embedded in the general partner interest are not separate participating securities. However, because the general partner and limited partner interests are separate classes of equity, the two-class method shall be applied in computing earnings per unit for the general partner and limited partner interests.

The weighted-average number of shares is an arithmetical mean average of shares outstanding and assumed to be outstanding for EPS computations. The most precise average would be the sum of the shares determined on a daily basis divided by the number of days in the period. Less-precise averaging methods may be used, however, as long as they produce reasonable results. Methods that introduce artificial weighting, such as the Rule of 78 method, are not acceptable for computing a weighted-average number of shares for EPS computations.

The number of incremental shares included in quarterly diluted EPS shall be computed using the average market prices during the three months included in the reporting period. For year-to-date diluted EPS, the number of incremental shares to be included in the denominator shall be determined by computing a year-to-date weighted average of the number of incremental shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. Example 1 (see paragraph [260-10-55-38](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-38)) provides an illustration of that provision.

Computation of year-to-date diluted EPS when an entity has a year-to-date loss from continuing operations including one or more quarters with income from continuing operations and when in-the-money options or warrants were not included in one or more quarterly diluted EPS computations because there was a loss from continuing operations in those quarters is as follows.

Therefore:

1.  a
    
    When there is a year-to-date loss, potential common shares should never be included in the computation of diluted EPS, because to do so would be antidilutive.
    
2.  b
    
    When there is year-to-date income, if in-the-money options or warrants were excluded from one or more quarterly diluted EPS computations because the effect was antidilutive (there was a loss from continuing operations in those periods), then those options or warrants should be included in the diluted EPS denominator (on a weighted-average basis) in the year-to-date computation as long as the effect is not antidilutive.

The average market price of [common stock](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#common-stock "A stock that is subordinate to all other stock of the issuer. Also called common shares.") shall represent a meaningful average. Theoretically, every market transaction for an entity's common stock could be included in determining the average market price. As a practical matter, however, a simple average of weekly or monthly prices usually will be adequate.

Generally, closing market prices are adequate for use in computing the average market price. When prices fluctuate widely, however, an average of the high and low prices for the period that the price represents usually would produce a more representative price. The method used to compute the average market price shall be used consistently unless it is no longer representative because of changed conditions. For example, an entity that uses closing market prices to compute the average market price for several years of relatively stable market prices might need to change to an average of high and low prices if prices start fluctuating greatly and the closing market prices no longer produce a representative average market price.

Convertible securities that permit or require the payment of cash by the holder of the security at conversion are considered the equivalent of warrants.

The number of common shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS for all periods prior to the rights issue shall be the number of common shares outstanding immediately prior to the issue multiplied by the following factor: (fair value per share immediately prior to the exercise of the rights)/(theoretical ex-rights fair value per share).

Restated EPS data shall be computed as if the restated income or loss had been reported originally in the prior period or periods. Thus, it is possible that common stock assumed to be issued upon exercise, conversion, or issuance of potential common shares in accordance with the provisions of this Subtopic may not be included in the computation of restated EPS amounts. That is, retroactive restatement of income from continuing operations could cause potential common shares originally determined to be dilutive to become antidilutive pursuant to the control number provision in paragraph [260-10-45-18](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-18). The reverse also is true. Retroactive restatement also may cause the numerator of the EPS computation to change by an amount that differs from the amount of the retroactive adjustment.

The effect on consolidated EPS of options, warrants, and convertible securities issued by a subsidiary depends on whether the securities issued by the subsidiary enable their holders to obtain common stock of the subsidiary or common stock of the parent entity. The following general guidelines shall be used for computing consolidated diluted EPS by entities with subsidiaries that have issued common stock or potential common shares to parties other than the parent entity

1.  a
    
    Securities issued by a subsidiary that enable their holders to obtain the subsidiary's common stock shall be included in computing the subsidiary's EPS data. Those per-share earnings of the subsidiary shall then be included in the consolidated EPS computations based on the [consolidated group's](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#consolidated-group "A parent and all its subsidiaries.") holding of the subsidiary's securities. Example 7 (see paragraph [260-10-55-64](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-64)) illustrates that provision.
    
2.  b
    
    Securities of a subsidiary that are convertible into its parent entity's common stock shall be considered among the potential common shares of the parent entity for the purpose of computing consolidated diluted EPS. Likewise, a subsidiary's options or warrants to purchase common stock of the parent entity shall be considered among the potential common shares of the parent entity in computing consolidated diluted EPS. Example 7 (see paragraph [260-10-55-64](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-64)) illustrates that provision.

The if-converted method shall be used in determining the EPS impact of securities issued by a parent entity that are convertible into common stock of a subsidiary or an investee entity accounted for under the equity method. That is, the securities shall be assumed to be converted and the numerator ([income available to common stockholders](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#income-available-to-common-stockholders "Income (or loss) from continuing operations or net income (or net loss) adjusted for preferred stock dividends.")) adjusted as necessary in accordance with the provisions in paragraph [260-10-45-40(a) through (b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-40). In addition to those adjustments, the numerator shall be adjusted appropriately for any change in the income recorded by the parent (such as dividend income or equity method income) due to the increase in the number of common shares of the subsidiary or equity method investee outstanding as a result of the assumed conversion. The denominator of the diluted EPS computation would not be affected because the number of shares of parent entity common stock outstanding would not change upon assumed conversion.

If an entity has common shares issued in a partially paid form (permitted in some countries) and those shares are entitled to dividends in proportion to the amount paid, the common-share equivalent of those partially paid shares shall be included in the computation of basic EPS to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends. Partially paid stock subscriptions that do not share in dividends until fully paid are considered the equivalent of warrants and shall be included in diluted EPS by use of the treasury stock method. That is, the unpaid balance shall be assumed to be proceeds used to purchase stock under the treasury stock method. The number of shares included in diluted EPS shall be the difference between the number of shares subscribed and the number of shares assumed to be purchased.

If a participating security provides the holder with the ability to participate with the holders of common stock in dividends declared contingent upon the occurrence of a specified event, the occurrence of which is subject to management discretion or is not objectively determinable (for example, liquidation of the entity or management determination of an extraordinary dividend), then the terms of the participating security do not specify objectively determinable, nondiscretionary participation rights; therefore, undistributed earnings would not be allocated to the participating security.

If a participating security provides the holder with the ability to participate with the holders of common stock in earnings for a period in which a specified event occurs, regardless of whether a dividend is paid during the period (for example, achievement of a target market price of a security or achievement of a certain earnings level), then undistributed earnings would be allocated to common stock and the participating security based on the assumption that all of the earnings for the period are distributed. Undistributed earnings would be allocated to the participating security if the contingent condition would have been satisfied at the reporting date, irrespective of whether an actual distribution was made for the period.

If a participating security provides the holder with the ability to participate in extraordinary dividends and the classification of dividends as extraordinary is predetermined by a formula, for example, any dividend per common share in excess of 5 percent of the current market price of the stock is defined as extraordinary, then undistributed earnings would be allocated to common stock and the participating security based on the assumption that all of the earnings for the period are distributed. If earnings for a given period exceed the specified threshold above which the participating security would participate (that is, earnings for the period are in excess of 5 percent of the current market price of the stock), undistributed earnings would be allocated to the participating security according to its terms.

If a participating security provides the holder with the ability to participate in extraordinary dividends and the classification of dividends as extraordinary is within the sole discretion of the board of directors, then undistributed earnings would be allocated only to common stock. Since the classification of dividends as extraordinary is within the sole discretion of the board of directors, undistributed earnings would not be allocated to the participating security as the participation in the undistributed earnings would not be objectively determinable.

If a participating security provides the holder with the ability to participate in all dividends up to a specified threshold (for example, the security participates in dividends per common share up to 5 percent of the current market price of the stock), then undistributed earnings would be allocated to common stock and the participating security based on the assumption that all of the earnings for the period are distributed. In this example, undistributed earnings would be allocated to common stock and to the participating security up to 5 percent of the current market price of the common stock, as the amount of the threshold for participation by the participating security is objectively determinable. The remaining undistributed earnings for the period would be allocated to common stock.

Year-to-date diluted EPS calculations may require an adjustment to the numerator in certain circumstances. For example, for contracts that are share settled for EPS purposes, the numerator adjustment is equal to the earnings effect of the change in the fair value of the asset or liability recorded pursuant to Section 815-40-35 during the year-to-date period. In that example, the number of incremental shares included in the denominator should be determined in accordance with the guidance in paragraph [260-10-55-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-3).

This Example illustrates the quarterly and annual computations of basic and diluted EPS in the year 20X1 for Entity A, which has a complex capital structure. The control number used in this Example (and in Example 2) is income from continuing operations. Paragraph [260-10-55-49](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-49) illustrates the presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. The facts assumed are as follows:

1.  a
    
    Average market price of common stock. The average market prices of common stock for the calendar-year 20X1 were as follows.
    
    -   ![](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc-img/GUID-DCCE58FC-F2E2-40D6-82DC-FF70FDC060FD-low.gif)
        
        First quarter $59 Second quarter $70 Third quarter $72 Fourth quarter $72
        
2.  b
    
    The average market price of common stock from July 1 to September 1, 20X1 was $71.
    
3.  c
    
    Common stock. The number of shares of common stock outstanding at the beginning of 20X1 was 3,300,000. On March 1, 20X1, 100,000 shares of common stock were issued for cash.
    
4.  d
    
    Convertible debentures. In the last quarter of 20X0, 4 percent convertible debentures with a principal amount of $10,000,000 due in 20 years were sold for cash at $1,000 (par). Interest is payable semiannually on November 1 and May 1. Each $1,000 debenture is convertible into 20 shares of common stock. No debentures were converted in 20X0. The entire issue was converted on April 1, 20X1, because the issue was called by Entity A.
    
5.  e
    
    Convertible preferred stock. In the second quarter of 20X0, 600,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were issued for assets in a purchase transaction. The quarterly dividend on each share of that convertible preferred stock is $0.05, payable at the end of the quarter. Each share is convertible into one share of common stock. Holders of 500,000 shares of that convertible preferred stock converted their preferred stock into common stock on June 1, 20X1.
    
6.  f
    
    Warrants. Warrants to buy 500,000 shares of common stock at $60 per share for a period of 5 years were issued on January 1, 20X1. All outstanding warrants were exercised on September 1, 20X1.
    
7.  g
    
    Options. Options to buy 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $85 per share for a period of 10 years were issued on July 1, 20X1. No options were exercised during 20X1 because the exercise price of the options exceeded the market price of the common stock.
    
8.  h
    
    Tax rate. The tax rate was 40 percent for 20X1.

Diluted EPS was computed using the treasury stock method for warrants and the if-converted method for convertible instruments. Options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $85 per share were outstanding during the second half of 20X1 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

[260-10-45-48 through 45-57](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-48)

. This Example has the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    Entity A had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding during the entire year ended December 31, 20X1. It had no options, warrants, or convertible securities outstanding during the period.
    
2.  b
    
    Terms of a [contingent stock agreement](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contingent-stock-agreement "An agreement to issue common stock (usually in connection with a business combination) that is dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions. See Contingently Issuable Shares.") related to a recent business combination provided the following to certain shareholders of Entity A:
    
    1.  1
        
        1,000 additional common shares for each new retail site opened during 20X1
        
    2.  2
        
        5 additional common shares for each $100 of consolidated, after-tax net income in excess of $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 20X1.
        
3.  c
    
    Entity A opened two new retail sites during the year:
    
    1.  1
        
        One on May 1, 20X1
        
    2.  2
        
        One on September 1, 20X1.
        
4.  d
    
    Entity A's consolidated, year-to-date after-tax net income was:
    
    1.  1
        
        $400,000 as of March 31, 20X1

This Example illustrates the provisions for stock rights issues that contain a bonus element as described in paragraphs

[260-10-55-13 through 55-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-13)

1.  a
    
    Net income was $1,100 for the year ended December 31, 20X0.
    
2.  b
    
    500 common shares were outstanding for the entire year ended December 31, 20X0.
    
3.  c
    
    A rights issue was offered to all existing shareholders in January 20X1. The last date to exercise the rights was March 1, 20X1. The offer provided 1 common share for each 5 outstanding common shares (100 new shares).
    
4.  d
    
    The exercise price for the rights issue was $5 per share acquired.
    
5.  e
    
    The fair value of 1 common share was $11 at March 1, 20X1.
    
6.  f
    
    Basic EPS for the year 20X0 (prior to the rights issuance) was $2.20.

As a result of the bonus element in the January 20X1 rights issue, basic and diluted EPS for 20X0 will have to be adjusted retroactively. The number of common shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS is the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the rights issue (500) multiplied by an adjustment factor. Prior to computing the adjustment factor, the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share must be computed. Those computations follow.

-   ![](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc-img/GUID-C33A934E-A93E-461B-9354-5FA7B8BCCFC9-low.gif)
    
    Theoretical ex-rights fair value per share (a) $10 = (500 × $11) + (100 × $5) (500 + 100) Adjustment factor (b) 1.1 = $11 ÷ $10 Denominator for restating basic EPS 550 = 500 × 1.1 Restated basic EPS for 20X0 $2.00 = " $1,100 ÷ 550 " (a) The equation for computing the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share is: Aggregate fair value of shares prior to exercise of rights + Proceeds from exercise of rights Total shares outstanding after exercise of rights (b) The equation for computing the adjustment factor is: Fair value per share immediately prior to exercise of rights Theoretical ex-rights fair value per share
    
-   Diluted EPS would be adjusted retroactively by adding 50 shares to the denominator that was used in computing diluted EPS prior to the restatement.

This Example illustrates the two-class method of computing basic EPS (see paragraph [260-10-45-60B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-60B)) for an entity that has more than one class of nonconvertible securities. This method is described in paragraphs

[260-10-45-59A through 45-70](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-59A)

. Diluted EPS would be computed in a similar manner. This Example has the following assumptions for the year 20X0:

1.  a
    
    Net income was $65,000.
    
2.  b
    
    10,000 shares of $50 par value common stock were outstanding.
    
3.  c
    
    5,000 shares of $100 par value nonconvertible preferred stock were outstanding.
    
4.  d
    
    The preferred stock was entitled to a noncumulative annual dividend of $5 per share before any dividend is paid on common stock.
    
5.  e
    
    After common stock has been paid a dividend of $2 per share, the preferred stock then participates in any additional dividends on a 40:60 per-share ratio with common stock. (That is, after preferred and common stock have been paid dividends of $5 and $2 per share, respectively, preferred stock participates in any additional dividends at a rate of two-thirds of the additional amount paid to common stock on a per-share basis.)
    
6.  f
    
    Preferred stockholders have been paid $27,000 ($5.40 per share).
    
7.  g
    
    Common stockholders have been paid $26,000 ($2.60 per share).

Entity A adopted a share option plan on January 1, 20X7, and granted 900,000 at-the-money share options with an exercise price of $30. All share options vest at the end of three years (cliff vesting). Entity A's accounting policy is to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur in accordance with paragraph [718-10-35-1D](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-1D) or [718-10-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-3). At the grant date, Entity A assumes an annual forfeiture rate of 3 percent and therefore expects to receive the service for 821,406 \[900,000 × (.97 to the third power)\] share options. On January 1, 20X7, the fair value of each share option granted is $14.69. Grantees forfeited 15,000 stock options ratably during 20X7.

The application of the two-class method in each of Cases A, B, and C presents an EPS calculation for both the common stock and the participating security. This presentation is for illustrative purposes only. The presentation of EPS is only required for each class of common stock (as clarified by this Example). However, the presentation of basic and diluted EPS for a participating security other than common stock is not precluded. Cases A, B, and C share both of the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    10,000 shares of Class A common stock
    
2.  b
    
    Reported net income of $65,000 for 20X1.

Assume that Entity A had 5,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding during 20X1. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into two shares of Class A common stock. The preferred stock is entitled to a noncumulative annual dividend of $5 per share. After Class A has been paid a dividend of $2 per share, the preferred stock then participates in any additional dividends on a 40:60 per share ratio with Class A. For 20X1, the Class A shareholders have been paid $26,000 (or $2.60 per share), and the preferred shareholders have been paid $27,000 (or $5.40 per share). Basic EPS under the two-class method for 20X1 would be computed as follows.

Assume that on January 1, 20X1, Entity A issues 1,000 30-year convertible bonds with an aggregate par value of $1,000,000. Each bond is convertible into 8 shares of Class A common stock and carries a coupon rate of 3 percent. After Class A has been paid a dividend of $2 per share, the bondholders then participate in any additional dividends on a 40:60 per share ratio with Class A shareholders. The bondholders receive common stock dividends based on the number of shares of common stock that the bonds are convertible into. The bondholders do not have any voting rights prior to conversion into common stock. For 20X1, the Class A shareholders have been paid $20,000 (or $2.00 per share). Basic EPS under the two-class method for 20X1 would be computed as follows.

Assume that Entity A had warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock outstanding during 20X1 Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1 share of common stock at $10 (fair value at date of grant) per share. In addition, the warrant holders receive dividends on the underlying common stock to the extent they are declared. For 20X1, common shareholders have been paid $26,000 (or $2.60 per share), and the warrant holders have been paid $13,000 (or, also, $2.60 per share). Basic EPS under the two-class method for 20X1 would be computed as follows:

Or, to simplify, since the common shareholders and the warrant holders share in dividends on a one-to-one basis, undistributed earnings could also be calculated as follows.

Assume that Entity A had 25,000 shares of common stock and 5,000 unvested share-based payment awards outstanding during 20X8 and reported net income of $100,000. The share-based payment awards participate in any dividends on a 1:1 per-share ratio with common stock, and the dividends are nonforfeitable by the holder of the share-based payment awards. Entity A's accounting policy is to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur in accordance with paragraph [718-10-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/718/10/#718-10-35-3).

As of the beginning of 20X8, Entity A estimated that the requisite service will not be provided for 200 of the 5,000 share-based payment awards outstanding. At the end of 20X8, Entity A adjusts its estimate to reflect an increased expected forfeiture rate and now expects that the requisite service will not be provided for 300 awards. It recognizes the cumulative effect of this change in compensation cost in the current period.

Note that in this illustrative example, application of the two-class method presents an EPS calculation for both the common stock and the participating security, that is, the unvested share-based payment awards. This presentation is for illustrative purposes only. The presentation of EPS is only required for each class of common stock. However, the presentation of basic and diluted EPS for a participating security other than common stock is not precluded. The disclosure in the notes to financial statements of actual distributions to unvested share-based payment awards, rather than the amount presented as distributed earnings, also is not precluded to reconcile earnings per common share and per unvested share-based payment awards. For example, Entity A in the example above may disclose that actual distributions to unvested share-based payment awards were $7,500 and that $450 of those distributions was included in net income as compensation cost related to awards for which the requisite service is not expected to be rendered. Disclosure on a per-share basis also is not precluded.

The contingently convertible debt is issued on January 1, 200X, income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 200X, is $10,000, and the average share price for the year is $55. The issuer of the contingently convertible debt should apply the guidance in paragraphs

[260-10-45-43 through 45-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-43)

which requires the issuer to include the dilutive effect of the convertible debt in diluted EPS even though the market price trigger of $65 has not been met. In this Case, basic EPS is $5.00. (Basic EPS = \[Income available to common shareholders (IACS)\] ÷ \[Shares outstanding (SO)\] = $10,000 ÷ 2,000 shares = $5.00 per share) and applying the if-converted method to the debt instrument dilutes EPS to $4.96 (Diluted EPS computed using the if-converted method = \[IACS + Interest (1-tax rate)\] ÷ (SO + Potential common shares) = ($10,000 + $26) ÷ (2,000 + 20) shares = $4.96 per share.)

The issuer of the contingently convertible debt must settle the principal amount of the debt in cash upon conversion and it may settle any conversion premium in either cash or stock. The holder of the instrument is only entitled to the conversion premium if the share price exceeds the market price trigger. The contingently convertible instrument is issued on January 1, 200X, income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 200X is $9,980, and the average share price for the year is $64.

The if-converted method should be used to determine the earnings-per-share implications of convertible debt with the characteristics described in this Case. There would be no adjustment to the numerator in the diluted earnings-per-share computation for the cash-settled portion of the instrument (the principal amount of the debt) because that portion will always be settled in cash (see paragraph [260-10-45-40](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-40)). The conversion premium should be included in diluted earnings per share based on the provisions of paragraphs

[260-10-45-45 through 45-46](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-45)

and [260-10-55-32 through 55-36A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-32). The convertible debt instrument in this Case is subject to other applicable guidance in Subtopic 260-10 as well, including the antidilution provisions of that Subtopic.

In this Example, basic EPS is $4.99, and diluted earnings per share is $4.98. Basic EPS = IACS ÷ SO = $9,980 ÷ 2,000 shares = $4.99 per share. Diluted EPS would be calculated using the if-converted method by determining the number of shares needed to settle the conversion premium and adding that amount to shares outstanding to calculate the diluted EPS denominator. The average market price is used to determine the dilution in accordance with paragraph [260-10-45-21A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-21A). The effect would be dilutive in this case because the average market price of the shares exceeds the conversion price. However, if the average market price of the shares was less than the conversion price, then the conversion premium would be zero and there would be no dilutive effect. Diluted EPS = IACS ÷ (SO + Potential common shares) = ($9,980) ÷ (2,000 + 4.38) shares = $4.98 per share. Potential common shares = (Conversion spread value) ÷ (Average share price) = $14 × 20 shares ÷ $64 = 4.38 shares.

The issuer of the convertible debt can settle the principal and the conversion premium in any combination of cash or shares (the issuer has the option). Consistent with the facts in Case B, the convertible instrument is issued on January 1, 200X, income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 200X, is $9,980, and the average share price for the year is $64.

Example 1 in Subtopic 505-30 (see paragraph [505-30-55-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/30/#505-30-55-1)) illustrates the accounting for what is sometimes described as an accelerated share repurchase program. In that Example, separate transactions involving a treasury stock purchase and a forward contract are addressed. This Example addresses the EPS consequences of those transactions.

The treasury stock transaction would result in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS. The effect of the forward contract on diluted EPS would be calculated in accordance with this Subtopic.

Assume that Entity A has income from continuing operations of $2,400, a loss from discontinued operations of $(3,600), a net loss of $(1,200), and 1,000 common shares and 200 potential common shares outstanding. Entity A's basic per-share amounts would be $2.40 for continuing operations, $(3.60) for the discontinued operation, and $(1.20) for the net loss. Entity A would include the 200 potential common shares in the denominator of its diluted per-share computation for continuing operations because the resulting $2.00 per share is dilutive. (For illustrative purposes, assume no numerator impact of those 200 potential common shares.) Because income from continuing operations is the control number, Entity A also must include those 200 potential common shares in the denominator for the other per-share amounts, even though the resulting per-share amounts \[$(3.00) per share for the loss from discontinued operation and $(1.00) per share for the net loss\] are antidilutive to their comparable basic per-share amounts; that is, the loss per-share amounts are less.

During the period, Entity A recognized a fair value gain of $200, net of income tax, for the liability classified instrument. Entity A’s basic per-share amounts would be $(0.38) for continuing operations, $(3.60) for the discontinued operation, and $(3.98) for the net loss. For the diluted per-share computation, Entity A would make the following adjustments:

1.  a
    
    Adjust the numerator to remove the effect of the fair value gain of $200 recognized in the period for the liability classified instrument, resulting in an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $(580) and an adjusted net loss of $(4,180)
    
2.  b
    
    Adjust the denominator by including the 200 potential common shares.
    

Because loss from continuing operations is the control number and the combined effect of the adjustments has a dilutive effect, Entity A must include those adjustments in the diluted per-share computations and would report diluted per-share amounts of $(0.48) for continuing operations, $(3.00) for discontinued operations, and $(3.48) for the net loss for the period.

Consider Entity A that has 10,000 warrants outstanding exercisable at $54 per share; the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period is $60. Exercise of the warrants and issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock would be assumed. The $540,000 that would be realized from exercise of the warrants ($54 × 10,000) would be an amount sufficient to acquire 9,000 shares ($540,000/$60). Thus, 1,000 incremental shares (10,000 - 9,000) would be added to the outstanding common shares in computing diluted EPS for the period.

Assume Entity A issues warrants that permit the holder to buy 100 shares of its common stock for $10 per share and that Entity A presents EPS in accordance with the guidance in this Topic. The warrants have a 10-year term, are exercisable at any time, and contain a [down round feature](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#down-round-feature "A feature in a financial instrument that reduces the strike price of an issued financial instrument if the issuer sells shares of its stock for an amount less than the currently stated strike price of the issued financial instrument or issues an equity-linked financial instrument with a strike price below the currently stated strike price of the issued financial instrument. A down round feature may reduce the strike price of a financial instrument to the current issuance price, or the reduction may be limited by a floor or on the basis of a formula that results in a price that is at a discount to the original exercise price but above the new issuance price of the shares, or may reduce the strike price to below the current issuance price. A standard antidilution provision is not considered a down round feature."). The warrants are classified as equity by Entity A because they are indexed to the entity's own stock and meet the additional conditions necessary for equity classification in accordance with the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 on derivatives and hedging—contracts in entity's own equity (see paragraphs [815-40-55-33 through 55-34A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/40/#815-40-55-33) for an illustration of the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 applied to a warrant with a down round feature). Because the warrants are an equity-classified freestanding [financial instrument](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-instrument "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both: Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either: To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity. Conveys to that second entity a contractual right either: To receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity.

Any number of obligations to deliver financial instruments can be links in a chain that qualifies a particular contract as a financial instrument. Contractual rights and contractual obligations encompass both those that are conditioned on the occurrence of a specified event and those that are not. All contractual rights (contractual obligations) that are financial instruments meet the definition of asset (liability) set forth in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, although some may not be recognized as assets (liabilities) in financial statements—that is, they may be off-balance-sheet—because they fail to meet some other criterion for recognition.

The terms of the down round feature specify that if Entity A issues additional shares of its common stock for an amount less than $10 per share or issues an equity-classified financial instrument with a strike price below $10 per share, the strike price of the warrants would be reduced to the most recent issuance price or strike price, but the terms of the down round feature are such that the strike price cannot be reduced below $8 per share. After issuing the warrants, Entity A issues shares of its common stock at $7 per share. Because of the subsequent round of financing occurring at a share price below the strike price of the warrants, the down round feature in the warrants is triggered and the strike price of the warrants is reduced to $8 per share.

When calculating earnings per unit under the two-class method for a master limited partnership, net income (or loss) for the current reporting period shall be reduced (or increased) by the amount of available cash that has been or will be distributed to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution right holder for that reporting period. For example, assume a partnership agreement requires the general partner to distribute available cash within 60 days following the end of each fiscal quarter. The master limited partnership is required to file financial statements with a regulatory agency within 45 days following the end of each fiscal quarter. In order to compute earnings per unit for the first quarter, the general partner determines the amount of available cash that will be distributed to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution right holder for that first quarter. The master limited partnership would reduce (or increase) net income (or loss) by that amount in computing undistributed earnings that are allocated to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution right holder in calculating earnings per unit for the first quarter.

Undistributed earnings shall be allocated to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution right holder utilizing the contractual terms of the partnership agreement. The distribution waterfall (that is, a schedule that prescribes distributions to the various interest holders at each threshold) for available cash specified in the partnership agreement contractually mandates the way in which earnings are distributed for the period presented. The undistributed earnings shall be allocated to the incentive distribution right holder based on the contractual participation rights of the incentive distribution right to share in current period earnings. Therefore, if the partnership agreement includes a specified threshold as described in paragraph [260-10-55-30](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-30), a master limited partnership shall not allocate undistributed earnings to the incentive distribution right holder once the specified threshold has been met.

In determining whether a specified threshold exists, a master limited partnership shall evaluate whether distributions to the incentive distribution right holder would be contractually limited to available cash as defined in the partnership agreement if all earnings for the period were distributed. For example, if the partnership agreement contractually limits distributions to the incentive distribution right holder to the holder's share of available cash as defined in the partnership agreement, then the specified threshold for the current reporting period would be the holder's share of available cash that has been or will be distributed for that reporting period. The master limited partnership would not allocate undistributed earnings to the incentive distribution right holder because the holder's share of available cash is the maximum amount that the incentive distribution right holder would be contractually entitled to receive if all earnings for the current reporting period were distributed. However, if the partnership agreement is silent or does not explicitly limit distributions to the incentive distribution right holder to available cash, then the master limited partnership would allocate undistributed earnings to the incentive distribution right holder utilizing the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in the partnership agreement.

Any excess of distributions over earnings shall be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of losses specified in the partnership agreement (that is, the provisions for allocation of losses to the partners' capital accounts for the period presented). If the incentive distribution right holders do not share in losses, the excess of distribution over earnings amount would not be allocated to the incentive distribution right holders. However, if the incentive distribution right holders have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the master limited partnership on a basis that is objectively determinable (as described in paragraph [260-10-45-68](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-45-68)), the excess of distributions over earnings shall be allocated to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution right holders based on their respective sharing of losses specified in the partnership agreement for the period presented.

A general partner may transfer net assets to a master limited partnership as part of a [dropdown](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#dropdown "A transfer of certain net assets from a sponsor or general partner to a master limited partnership in exchange for consideration.") transaction that occurs after formation of the master limited partnership. If the master limited partnership accounts for the dropdown transaction under the Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Subsections of Subtopic 805-50, in calculating the historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of the transferred net assets before the date of the dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners for periods before the date of the dropdown transaction should not change as a result of the dropdown transaction.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 4.D. Earnings Per Share Computations in an Initial Public Offering.

-   Facts: A registration statement is filed in connection with an initial public offering (IPO) of common stock. During the periods covered by income statements that are included in the registration statement or in the subsequent period prior to the effective date of the IPO, the registrant issued for nominal consideration <sup class="ph sup">FN1</sup> common stock, options or warrants to purchase common stock or other potentially dilutive instruments (collectively, referred to hereafter as "nominal issuances").
    
    -   FN1 Whether a security was issued for nominal consideration should be determined based on facts and circumstances. The consideration the entity receives for the issuance should be compared to the security's fair value to determine whether the consideration is nominal.
        
-   Prior to the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, the staff believed that certain stock and warrants <sup class="ph sup">FN2</sup> should be treated as outstanding for all reporting periods in the same manner as shares issued in a stock split or a recapitalization effected contemporaneously with the IPO. The dilutive effect of such stock and warrants could be measured using the treasury stock method.
    
    -   FN2 The stock and warrants encompasses by the prior guidance were those issuances of common stock at prices below the IPO price and options or warrants with exercise prices below the IPO price that were issued within a one-year period prior to the initial filing of the registration statement relating to the IPO through the registration statement's effective date.
        
-   Question 1: Does the staff continue to believe that such treatment for stock and warrants would be appropriate upon adoption of FASB ASC Topic 260?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Generally, no. Historical EPS should be prepared and presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 260.
    
-   In applying the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, the staff believes that nominal issuances are recapitalizations in substance. In computing basic EPS for the periods covered by income statements included in the registration statement and in subsequent filings with the SEC, nominal issuances of common stock should be reflected in a manner similar to a stock split or stock dividend for which retroactive treatment is required by FASB ASC paragraph [260-10-55-12](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/260/10/#260-10-55-12). In computing diluted EPS for such periods, nominal issuances of common stock and potential common stock <sup class="ph sup">FN3</sup> should be reflected in a manner similar to a stock split or stock dividend.
    
    -   FN3 The FASB ASC Master Glossary defines potential common stock as "a security or other contract that may entitle its holder to obtain common stock during the reporting period or after the end of the reporting period."
        
-   Registrants are reminded that disclosure about materially dilutive issuances is required outside the financial statements. Item 506 of Regulation S-K requires presentation of the dilutive effects of those issuances on net tangible book value. The effects of dilutive issuances on the registrant's liquidity, capital resources and results of operations should be addressed in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
    
-   Question 2: Does reflecting nominal issuances as outstanding for all historical periods in the computation of earnings per share alter the registrant's responsibility to determine whether compensation expense must be recognized for such issuances to employees?
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. Registrants must follow GAAP in determining whether the recognition of compensation expense for any issuances of equity instruments to employees is necessary. <sup class="ph sup">FN4</sup> Reflecting nominal issuances as outstanding for all historical periods in the computation of earnings per share does not alter that existing responsibility under GAAP.
    
    -   FN4 As prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.

The following is the text of SEC Staff Announcement: The Effect on Calculation of Earnings Per Share for a Period That Includes the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock.

-   **Scope**
    
-   This SEC staff announcement applies to redemptions and induced conversions of equity-classified preferred stock instruments. For purposes of this announcement:
    
    -   1\. Modifications and exchanges of preferred stock instruments that are accounted for as extinguishments, resulting in a new basis of accounting for the modified or exchanged preferred stock instrument, are considered redemptions.
        
    -   2\. A preferred stock instrument classified within temporary equity pursuant to the guidance in ASR 268 and paragraph [480-10-S99-3A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/480/10/#480-10-S99-3A) is considered equity-classified, and redemptions and induced conversions of such securities would be subject to this guidance.
        
    -   3\. If an equity-classified security is subsequently required to be reclassified as a liability based on the provisions of other GAAP (for example, because a preferred share becomes mandatorily redeemable pursuant to Subtopic 480-10), the reclassification is considered a redemption of equity by issuance of a debt instrument.
        
-   The accounting for conversions of preferred stock instruments into other equity-classified securities pursuant to conversion privileges provided in the terms of the instruments at issuance is not affected by this announcement.
    

-   **The Effect on Income Available to Common Stockholders of a Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock**
    
-   If a registrant redeems its preferred stock, the SEC staff believes that the difference between (1) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred stock and (2) the carrying amount of the preferred stock in the registrant's balance sheet (net of issuance costs) should be subtracted from (or added to) net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. The SEC staff believes that the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred stock and the carrying amount of the preferred stock in the registrant's balance sheet represents a return to (from) the preferred stockholder that should be treated in a manner similar to the treatment of dividends paid on preferred stock. This calculation guidance applies to redemptions of convertible preferred stock regardless of whether the embedded conversion feature is "in-the-money" or "out-of-the-money" at the time of redemption. The fair value of the consideration transferred is reduced by the commitment date intrinsic value of the conversion option if the redemption includes the reacquisition of a previously recognized beneficial conversion feature in a convertible preferred stock instrument.
    
-   If convertible preferred stock is converted into other securities issued by the registrant pursuant to an inducement offer, the SEC staff believes that the excess of (1) the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction by the registrant to the holders of the convertible preferred stock over (2) the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms should be subtracted from net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. Registrants should consider the guidance provided in Subtopic 470-20 to determine whether the conversion of preferred stock is pursuant to an inducement offer.
    

-   **The Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share of a Redemption or Induced Conversion of Only a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock**
    
-   When a registrant effects a redemption or induced conversion of only a portion of the outstanding securities of a class of preferred stock, the SEC staff believes that, for the purpose of determining whether the "if-converted" method is dilutive for the period, the shares redeemed or converted should be considered separately from the other shares of the same class that are not redeemed or converted. The SEC staff does not believe that it is appropriate to aggregate securities with different effective dividend yields when determining whether the "if-converted" method is dilutive, which would be the result if a single, aggregate computation was made for the entire series of preferred stock.
    
-   For example, assume a registrant has 100 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding at the beginning of the period. The convertible preferred stock was issued at fair value, which was equal to its par value of $10 per share, and has a stated dividend of 5 percent, and each share of preferred stock is convertible into 1 share of common stock. During the period, 20 preferred shares were redeemed by the registrant for $12 per share.
    
-   In this example, the SEC staff believes that the registrant should determine whether conversion is dilutive (1) for 80 of the preferred shares by applying the "if-converted" method from the beginning of the period to the end of the period using the stated dividend of 5 percent and (2) for 20 of the preferred shares by applying the "if-converted" method from the beginning of the period to the date of redemption using both the stated dividend of 5 percent and the $2 per share redemption premium.
    
-   Accordingly, assuming that the dividend for the period for the preferred stock was $0.125 per share, a determination of whether the 20 redeemed shares are dilutive should be made by comparing the $2.125 per-share effect of assuming those shares are not converted to the effect of assuming those 20 shares were converted into 20 shares of common stock, weighted for the period for which they were outstanding. The determination of the "if-converted" effect of the 80 shares not redeemed should be made separately, by comparing the EPS effect of the $0.125 per-share dividend to the effect of assuming conversion into 80 shares of common stock.
