EQUITY

On October 22, 2013, Eaton's Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program (the 2013 Program). Under the 2013 Program, the ordinary shares were expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, the market price of ordinary shares, capital levels, and other considerations. During the first quarter of 2016, 1.5 million ordinary shares were repurchased under the 2013 Program in the open market at a total cost of $82. On February 24, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for share repurchases up to $2,500 of ordinary shares (2016 Program). Under the 2016 Program, the ordinary shares are expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, the market price of ordinary shares, capital levels, and other considerations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 4.4 million and 10.7 million ordinary shares, respectively, were repurchased under the 2016 Program in the open market at a total cost of $324 and $789, respectively.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Eaton Ordinary Shareholders

A summary of the calculation of net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders follows:



	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
(Shares in millions)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders	$	1,399	$	523	$	2,346	$	1,418

Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding - diluted	445.2		455.6		448.3		457.9
Less dilutive effect of equity-based compensation	2.6		1.7		2.4		1.4
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding - basic	442.6		453.9		445.9		456.5

Net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders
Diluted	$	3.14	$	1.15	$	5.23	$	3.09
Basic	3.16		1.15		5.26		3.10

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, 0.2 million and 0.6 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the ordinary shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, 1.5 million and 1.8 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the ordinary shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive.
