Earnings Per Share and Dividends

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net Income attributable to DT Midstream by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the dilution that would occur if any potentially dilutive instruments were exercised or converted into common shares, using the treasury stock method. Restricted stock units and performance share awards, including dividend equivalents on those grants, are potentially dilutive and, if dilutive, are included in the determination of weighted-average shares outstanding. Restricted stock units and performance share awards do not receive cash dividends, as such, these awards are not considered participating securities.

We issued 1,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 par value to its parent, a subsidiary of DTE Energy, in January 2021. Our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an additional 96,731,466 common shares on June 30, 2021 for a total of 96,732,466 common shares issued and outstanding at the Separation date. This share amount is treated as issued and outstanding and utilized for the calculation of historical basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods prior to the Separation.

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
