Antidilutive securities represent the number of potential common shares related to share-based compensation awards that were excluded from diluted EPS because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation
Our share-based compensation plans consist primarily of awards of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to certain employees and directors as part of our long-term incentive compensation structure. Additionally, through our employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions.
In March 2024, we granted 31 million RSUs and 3 million stock options under our annual management awards program. The weighted-average fair values associated with these grants were $42.62 per RSU and $9.49 per stock option. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, share-based compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income was $247 million and $238 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, share-based compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income was $811 million and $786 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had unrecognized pretax compensation expense of $2.3 billion related to unvested RSUs and unvested stock options.
