1.1 Introduction
This Roadmap discusses the calculation, presentation, and disclosure of EPS in
an entity’s financial statements. Under ASC 260,
entities are required to present or disclose basic
EPS and diluted EPS amounts for income from
continuing operations, income from discontinued
operations, and net income for each class of
common stock for each financial reporting period
presented. Basic EPS is calculated as income
available to common stockholders divided by the
weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding, and diluted EPS includes potential
common stock that, if actually issued, would
dilute basic EPS.
