Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) is net income attributable to Baxter stockholders. The denominator for basic EPS is the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) is reflected in the denominator for diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares.

			Three months ended June 30,												Six months ended June 30,
(in millions)			2020			2019						2020			2019
Basic shares			509			510						508			511
Effect of dilutive securities			8			9						9			9
Diluted shares			517			519						517			520

The effect of dilutive securities included unexercised stock options, unvested RSUs and contingently issuable shares related to granted PSUs. The computation of diluted EPS excluded 4 million and 3 million equity awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 4 million equity awards each for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS.
