Earnings per Share

While earnings per share (EPS) is one of the most-watched numbers in

corporate America, the ability of a company to earn a profit does not

always translate to the ability to pay a large dividend.

Earnings per Share

For example, Microsoft chose to reinvest its earnings to fuel future

growth until 2003. Eventually, Microsoft grew to a point where it

could no longer sustain the growth rate and then it began paying dividends.

A corporation summarizes the components of its net income on its income statement, which are:– Income (loss) from continuing operations– Results from discontinued operations– Extraordinary gains or losses

A corporation also reports its earnings per share on its income statement.

Earnings and Earnings per Share

7

For computing earnings per share, there are two types of corporate capital structures—simple and complex.

A simple capital structure is one that consists only of common stock outstanding.

A corporation with a simple capital structure is required to report basic earnings per share.

Since a corporation earns its net income over the entire year, the

earnings relate to the common shares outstanding during the year.

Complex Capital Structure

Many corporations have a more complex capital structure that includes outstanding convertible securities or contingent shares that could have a

dilutive effect on earnings per share. These securities are

referred to as potential common shares.

1. Determine the average market price of common shares during the period.

2. Compute the shares issued from the assumed exercise of all options and warrants.

4. Compute the assumed shares reacquired by dividing the proceeds by the average market price.

Testing to Determine Whether a Convertible Security is Dilutive

If the impact of the first ranked convertible security is less than the initial tentative DEPS, add the potential income to the

numerator and the potential shares to the denominator and continue this procedure

until the impact of the next convertible security is more than the previously

computed tentative DEPS.

IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP

Due to convergence efforts, IFRS and U.S. GAAP are similar in regard to computing and reporting basic and diluted earnings per share. However, the following differences do exist: When using the treasury stock method, IFRS do

not require a company to include any unrecognized compensation cost in the assumed proceeds from issuing the stock.

GAAP requires that any unvested contingently issuable shares be excluded from basic EPS calculations. IFRS has no such requirement.

44

IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP

For contracts that may be settled in shares or cash, if a cash settlement is presumed, U.S. GAAP requires an adjustment to earnings but IFRS do not.

Finally, because IFRS do not have the concept of extraordinary items, there is no EPS disclosure related to extraordinary items.

Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity

GAAP states: “…disclosure of changes in the separate accounts comprising stockholders’

securities during at least the most recent annual fiscal period…is required to make the financial statements sufficiently informative.”

IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP

Under IFRS, a corporation’s shareholders’ interests (the term used for stockholders’ equity) consists of two sections: (a) share capital and (b) other equity.

Many of the disclosures required under share capital are the same as those required under U.S. GAAP—for example, the number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding, par value, reacquired shares and rights, preferences, and restrictions regarding dividends.

IFRS require disclosure of the “movement” in share capital accounts and other equity for the period.
