Equity [Abstract] |
Equity | Equity Earnings Per Share – The reconciliation of NEE's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to NEE is as follows:
| Years Ended December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
| (millions, except per share amounts)
Numerator – net income attributable to NEE | $ | 4,147 |  |  | $ | 3,573 |  |  | $ | 2,919 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – basic | 1,972.6 |  |  | 1,962.5 |  |  | 1,959.0 |
Equity units, stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock(a) | 6.0 |  |  | 9.7 |  |  | 9.8 |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – assuming dilution | 1,978.6 |  |  | 1,972.2 |  |  | 1,968.8 |
Earnings per share attributable to NEE: |  |  |  |  |
Basic | $ | 2.10 |  |  | $ | 1.82 |  |  | $ | 1.49 |
Assuming dilution | $ | 2.10 |  |  | $ | 1.81 |  |  | $ | 1.48 |
______________________ (a)Calculated using the treasury stock method. Performance share awards are included in diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding based upon what would be issued if the end of the reporting period was the end of the term of the award. Common shares issuable pursuant to equity units, stock options and/or performance share awards, as well as restricted stock which were not included in the denominator above due to their antidilutive effect were approximately 38.1 million, 30.5 million and 27.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On September 14, 2020, NEE's board of directors approved a four-for-one split of NEE common stock effective October 26, 2020. NEE's authorized common stock increased from 800 million to 3.2 billion shares. All share and share-based data included in NEE's consolidated financial statements reflect the effect of the 2020 stock split. Potentially Dilutive Securities at NEP – NEP senior unsecured convertible notes, when outstanding, are potentially dilutive securities to NEE. In December 2022, June 2021 and December 2020, NEP issued $500 million, $500 million and $600 million, respectively, principal amount of new senior unsecured convertible notes. Holders of these notes may convert all or a portion of the notes in accordance with the related indenture. Upon conversion, NEP will pay cash up to the principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, NEP common units or a combination of cash and common units, at NEP's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of NEP's conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount of the notes being converted. Common Stock Dividend Restrictions – NEE's charter does not limit the dividends that may be paid on its common stock. FPL's mortgage securing FPL's first mortgage bonds contains provisions which, under certain conditions, restrict the payment of dividends and other distributions to NEE. These restrictions do not currently limit FPL's ability to pay dividends to NEE. Stock-Based Compensation – Net income for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 includes approximately $142 million, $119 million and $107 million, respectively, of compensation costs and $20 million, $19 million and $21 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements. Compensation cost capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was not material. At December 31, 2022, there were approximately $160 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested/nonexercisable stock-based compensation arrangements. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. At December 31, 2022, approximately 81 million shares of common stock were authorized for awards to officers, employees and non-employee directors of NEE and its subsidiaries under NEE's: (a) 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan, (b) 2017 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan and (c) earlier equity compensation plans under which shares are reserved for issuance under existing grants, but no additional shares are available for grant under the earlier plans. NEE satisfies restricted stock and performance share awards by issuing new shares of its common stock or by purchasing shares of its common stock in the open market. NEE satisfies stock option exercises by issuing new shares of its common stock. NEE generally grants most of its stock-based compensation awards in the first quarter of each year. Restricted Stock and Performance Share Awards – Restricted stock typically vests within three years after the date of grant and is subject to, among other things, restrictions on transferability prior to vesting. The fair value of restricted stock is measured based upon the closing market price of NEE common stock as of the date of grant. Performance share awards are typically payable at the end of a three-year performance period if the specified performance criteria are met. The fair value for the majority of performance share awards is estimated based upon the closing market price of NEE common stock as of the date of grant less the present value of expected dividends, multiplied by an estimated performance multiple which is subsequently trued up based on actual performance. The activity in restricted stock and performance share awards for the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows:
| Shares/Units |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share/Units
Restricted Stock: |  |  |
Nonvested balance, January 1, 2022 | 1,817,732 |  |  | $ | 68.09 |
Granted | 1,001,259 |  |  | $ | 75.13 |
Vested | (758,006) |  |  | $ | 58.83 |
Forfeited | (68,940) |  |  | $ | 76.65 |
Nonvested balance, December 31, 2022 | 1,992,045 |  |  | $ | 77.93 |
Performance Share Awards: |  |  |
Nonvested balance, January 1, 2022 | 1,412,149 |  |  | $ | 61.22 |
Granted | 1,597,586 |  |  | $ | 58.67 |
Vested | (1,563,850) |  |  | $ | 56.08 |
Forfeited | (308,803) |  |  | $ | 74.01 |
Nonvested balance, December 31, 2022 | 1,137,082 |  |  | $ | 71.17 |
The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of restricted stock granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $82.69 and $68.25 respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of performance share awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $54.82 and $46.09, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock and performance share awards vested was $175 million, $186 million and $177 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Options – Options typically vest within three years after the date of grant and have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of each option granted equals the closing market price of NEE common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the options is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and based on the following assumptions:
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Expected volatility(a) | 17.91 – 19.37% |  | 17.32 – 17.75% |  | 14.63 – 16.31%
Expected dividends | 2.32 – 2.50% |  | 2.30 – 2.44% |  | 2.50 – 2.72%
Expected term (years)(b) | 6.5 |  | 7.0 |  | 7.0
Risk-free rate | 1.91 – 3.85% |  | 0.80 – 1.27% |  | 0.49 – 1.52%
______________________ (a)Based on historical experience. (b)Based on historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation experience adjusted for outstanding awards. Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows:
| Shares Underlying Options |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share |  | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (millions)
Balance, January 1, 2022 | 10,013,312 |  |  | $ | 44.87 |  |  |  |  |
Granted | 1,304,270 |  |  | $ | 75.28 |  |  |  |  |
Exercised | (594,220) |  |  | $ | 23.77 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited | (23,952) |  |  | $ | 78.33 |  |  |  |  |
Balance, December 31, 2022 | 10,699,410 |  |  | $ | 49.67 |  |  | 5.7 |  | $ | 363 |
Exercisable, December 31, 2022 | 8,152,185 |  |  | $ | 41.28 |  |  | 4.8 |  | $ | 345 |
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $10.49, $9.82 and $7.08 per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $37 million, $49 million and $71 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash received from option exercises was approximately $14 million, $15 million and $30 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The tax benefits realized from options exercised were approximately $9 million, $11 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Preferred Stock – NEE's charter authorizes the issuance of 100 million shares of serial preferred stock, $0.01 par value, none of which are outstanding. FPL's charter authorizes the issuance of 10,414,100 shares of preferred stock, $100 par value, 5 million shares of subordinated preferred stock, no par value, and 5 million shares of preferred stock, no par value, none of which are outstanding. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – The components of AOCI, net of tax, are as follows:
