Earnings per share is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (plus convertible-preferred dividends and after tax amount of interest recognized in the period, associated with any convertible debt) by the sum of the weighted-average shares outstanding, and any additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. See also Earnings Per Share.
