(1)Cash dividends includes cash dividends paid and dividends declared, but unpaid. (2)Share-based compensation expense is the fair value of share-based awards. (3)Additional paid-in capital includes value of shares withheld for employees' taxes on vesting of share-based compensation awards. (4)Additional paid-in capital in 2022 included the final settlement of the fourth quarter 2021 accelerated share repurchase program ("the 2021 ASR") and the favorable settlement of the second quarter 2022 accelerated share repurchase program (the "2022 ASR"). Eastman is authorized to issue 400 million shares of all classes of stock, of which 50 million may be preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 350 million may be common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company declared dividends per share of $3.26 in 2024, $3.18 in 2023, and $3.07 in 2022. In 1997 the Company established a benefit security trust to provide a degree of financial security for unfunded obligations under certain unfunded plans. A warrant to purchase up to 6 million shares of par value common stock of the Company was contributed to the trust. The warrant, which remains outstanding, is exercisable by the trustee if the Company does not meet certain funding obligations, which obligations would be triggered by certain occurrences, including a change in control or potential change in control, as defined, or failure by the Company to meet its payment obligations under certain covered unfunded plans. The warrant is excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the conditions upon which the warrant becomes exercisable have not been met. In December 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock at such times, in such amounts, and on such terms, as determined by management to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders (the "2021 authorization"). As of December 31, 2024, a total of 11,612,158 shares have been repurchased under the 2021 authorization for $1.1 billion. Both dividends and share repurchases are key strategies employed by the Company to return value to its stockholders. During 2024, the Company repurchased 3,001,409 shares of common stock for $300 million. During 2023, the Company repurchased 1,866,866 shares of common stock for a cost of approximately $150 million. During 2022, the Company repurchased 10,710,259 shares of common stock for a cost of $1.1 billion, primarily under the 2022 ASR, and included $100 million from the settlement of the 2021 ASR. The Company's charitable foundation held 50,798 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock at December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 which are included in treasury stock in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and excluded from calculations of diluted EPS. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Diluted | $ | 7.67 |  |  | $ | 7.49 |  |  | $ | 6.35 |
(1) EPS is calculated using whole dollars and shares. Shares underlying stock options excluded from the 2024, 2023, and 2022 calculations of diluted EPS were 1,234,513, 2,409,208, and 1,398,110, respectively, because the grant price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and the effect of including them in the calculation of diluted EPS would have been antidilutive. Shares of common stock issued, including shares held in treasury, are presented below:
| For years ended December 31,

Amounts of other comprehensive income (loss) are presented net of applicable taxes. Eastman recognizes deferred income taxes on the cumulative translation adjustment related to branch operations and income from other entities included in the Company's consolidated U.S. tax return. No deferred income taxes are recognized on the cumulative translation adjustment of other subsidiaries outside the United States, as the cumulative translation adjustment is considered to be a component of indefinitely invested, unremitted earnings of these foreign subsidiaries. Components of total other comprehensive income (loss) recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings are presented below, before tax and net of tax effects:
