Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK | EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK The disclosures in this note apply to FirstEnergy only. EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to FE by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period as the denominator. The denominator for diluted EPS of common stock reflects the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the potential additional common shares that could result if dilutive securities and other agreements to issue common stock were exercised. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive effect of potential common shares from share-based awards and convertible securities. The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards was computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of the award would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of the 2026 Convertible Notes, 2029 Convertible Notes and the 2031 Convertible Notes are computed using the if-converted method. The following table reconciles basic and diluted EPS attributable to FE:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no shares from awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The dilutive effect of the convertible notes is limited to the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes being converted. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was no dilutive effect resulting from the outstanding convertible notes as the average market price of FE shares of common stock was below the respective conversion prices, which as of September 30, 2025, were $46.48 per share for the 2026 Convertible Notes and $47.78 per share for the 2029 and 2031 Convertible Notes. See Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements," of the Combined Notes to Financial Statements of the Registrants for additional information on the convertible notes.
