Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

15. Stockholders’ Equity

Earnings Per Share The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and includes the effect of any participating securities and TEUs as appropriate. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and TEUs, if the inclusion of these items is dilutive. All outstanding TEUs were settled in June 2018.

The following provides a reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders:

Common Stock The Share-Repurchase Program authorizes the repurchase of the Company’s common stock in the open market or through private transactions. During 2018, the Share-Repurchase Program was expanded to $5.0 billion and extended through mid-year 2020. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had completed $3.75 billion of the Share-Repurchase Program through ASR Agreements and open-market repurchases. These transactions were accounted for as equity transactions, with all of the repurchased shares classified as treasury stock. Additionally, the receipt of these shares reduced the average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to compute both basic and diluted EPS. There were no additional repurchases of common stock under the Share-Repurchase Program for the six months ended June 30, 2019. No additional share repurchases under the Share-Repurchase Program are anticipated pursuant to the terms of the Occidental Merger Agreement. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the Occidental Merger Agreement.

Dividends Dividends declared are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings, to the extent that retained earnings were available at the beginning of the reporting period, with any excess recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital.
