Note 14: Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings per share has been computed using the number of outstanding shares of DIRECTV
Group through November 19, 2009, and based on the outstanding shares of DIRECTV Class A and
Class B common stock subsequent to that date as a result of the Liberty Transaction. See Note 3 for
additional information regarding the Liberty Transaction.
We compute basic earnings per common share, or EPS, by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS considers the effect of common equivalent shares, which consist entirely of common
stock options and unvested restricted stock units issued to employees. In the computation of diluted
EPS under the treasury stock method, the amount of assumed proceeds from nonvested stock awards
and unexercised stock options includes the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services
not yet recognized, proceeds from the exercise of the options, and the incremental income tax benefit
or liability as if the awards were distributed during the period. We exclude common equivalent shares
from the computation in loss periods as their effect would be antidilutive and we exclude common
stock options from the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price is greater than the
average market price of our common stock. The following table sets forth the number of common stock
options excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of our common stock during the years presented:
