NOTE 14    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, stock awards, and shared performance stock awards. The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

(In millions, except earnings per share)
Year Ended June 30 2002   2003   2004
 
Net income available for common shareholders (A) $15,355   $17,531   $18,168
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock (B) 10,811   10,723   10,803
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and awards 295   159   91
Common stock and common stock equivalents (C) 11,106   10,882   10,894
Earnings per share:
Basic (A/B) $110.50   $110.70   $110.76
Diluted (A/C) $110.48   $110.69   $110.75

 

For the years ended June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, 746 million, 1.09 billion and 1.2 billion shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the stock options were greater than or equal to the average price of the common shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2004, 21.9 million shared performance stock awards, out of 31.7 million targeted amount granted, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the number of shares ultimately issued is contingent on our performance against metrics established for the performance period, as discussed in Note 13 - Employee Stock and Savings Plans.
