(a) Amounts representing number of shares and per share data have been adjusted for the two-for-one stock split in April 1971. (b) Any dilution of earnings per share which would result from the potential exercise or conversion of such items as stock options or convertible debt outstanding is insignificant (less than 2% in all periods shown). Fully diluted earnings per share for 1975 would be computed based on assumed conversion of the convertible indebtedness of General Electric Overseas Capital Corporation, a wholly owned affiliate of General Electric, exercise of stock options and issue of shares held under deferred incentive compensation plans. Net earnings for the computation would be adjusted to eliminate appropriate interest expense and expenses related to the deferred incentive compensation shares, net of taxes. On this basis, average shares outstanding in 1975 would have been 186,974,000, net earnings applicable to common stock would have been $583.9 million and fully diluted earnings per share would have been $3.12. |
