Equity [Abstract] |
EATON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | EATON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY There are 750 million Eaton ordinary shares authorized ($0.01 par value per share), 397.8 million and 398.8 million of which were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Eaton's Memorandum and Articles of Association authorized 40 thousand deferred ordinary shares (€1.00 par value per share) and 10 thousand preferred A shares ($1.00 par value per share), all of which were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and 10 million serial preferred shares ($0.01 par value per share), none of which is outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021. At December 31, 2022, there were 10,034 holders of record of Eaton ordinary shares. Additionally, 14,158 current and former employees were shareholders through participation in the Eaton Savings Plan, the Eaton Personal Investment Plan, or The Eaton Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan. On February 27, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program for share repurchases up to $5.0 billion of ordinary shares (2019 Program). On February 23, 2022, the Board renewed the 2019 Program by providing authority for up to $5.0 billion in repurchases to be made during the three-year period commencing on that date (2022 Program). Under the 2022 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 2022, 2.0 million ordinary shares were repurchased under the 2022 Program in the open market at a total cost of $286 million. During 2021, 0.9 million ordinary shares were repurchased under the 2019 Program in the open market at a total cost of $122 million. Eaton has deferral plans that permit certain employees and directors to defer a portion of their compensation. A trust contains $3 million and $4 million of ordinary shares and marketable securities at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to fund a portion of these liabilities. The marketable securities were included in Other assets and the ordinary shares were included in Shareholders' equity at historical cost. On February 23, 2023, Eaton's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.86 per ordinary share, a 6% increase over the dividend paid in the fourth quarter of 2022. The dividend is payable on March 24, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 6, 2023. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists primarily of net income, currency translation and related hedging instruments, changes in unrecognized costs of pension and other postretirement benefits, and changes in the effective portion of open derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Eaton Ordinary Shareholders A summary of the calculation of net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders is as follows:
(In millions except for per share data) | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders | $ | 2,462 |  |  | $ | 2,144 |  |  | $ | 1,410 |
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding - diluted | 400.8 |  |  | 401.6 |  |  | 404.0 |
Less dilutive effect of equity-based compensation | 2.1 |  |  | 2.9 |  |  | 1.8 |
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding - basic | 398.7 |  |  | 398.7 |  |  | 402.2 |
Net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders |  |  |  |  |
Diluted | $ | 6.14 |  |  | $ | 5.34 |  |  | $ | 3.49 |
Basic | 6.17 |  |  | 5.38 |  |  | 3.51 |
In 2022 and 2020, 0.1 million and 0.6 million of 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. In 2021, all stock options were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders because they were all dilutive.
