(1) Participating securities consist of shares underlying unvested time-based restricted stock units (the "TSUs"), earned and unvested performance-based restricted stock units (the "PSUs", and referred to in this note collectively with the TSUs as the "RSUs"), stock units accounted for under the Supplemental 401(k) Plan portion of the Company’s Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plan, and stock units and phantom stock units accounted for under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Deferral Plan. The holders of RSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, payable in cash, to the extent dividends are paid on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and equal in value to the dividends that would have been paid in respect of the Common Stock underlying the RSU. The accounts of holders of stock units and phantom stock units are credited with dividend equivalents, which are payable, in stock or cash, as the case may be, with the distribution of account balances.
Calculation of Undistributed Earnings | The calculation of undistributed earnings is as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended June 30 |  |  | Nine Months Ended June 30 |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
|  | (In millions) |
Calculation of undistributed earnings (loss): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income (loss) attributable to Cabot Corporation |  | $ | 82 |  |  | $ | 97 |  |  | $ | 211 |  |  | $ | 115 |
Less: Dividends declared on common stock |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 21 |  |  |  | 64 |  |  |  | 63 |
Less: Dividends declared on participating securities |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |
Undistributed earnings (loss) |  | $ | 59 |  |  | $ | 76 |  |  | $ | 146 |  |  | $ | 51 |
Allocation of undistributed earnings (loss): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Undistributed earnings (loss) allocated to common shareholders |  | $ | 58 |  |  | $ | 75 |  |  | $ | 143 |  |  | $ | 50 |
Undistributed earnings allocated to participating shareholders |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 1 |
Undistributed earnings (loss) |  | $ | 59 |  |  | $ | 76 |  |  | $ | 146 |  |  | $ | 51 |
(2) Undistributed earnings are adjusted for the assumed distribution of dividends to the dilutive securities, which are described in (3) below, and then reallocated to participating securities. (3) Represents incremental shares of common stock from the assumed exercise of stock options issued under Cabot’s equity incentive plans. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, 156,550 and 133,039 incremental shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of these shares would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, 169,425 and 204,796 incremental shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of these shares would have been antidilutive.
