This is an Excel template illustrating how to calculate Earnings per Share (EPS) and Diluted Earnings per Share (DEPS) for a company with a complex capital structure. Such a calculation is particularly useful for companies that issue convertible preferred shares, where they give owners the right to convert their preferred shares into a fixed number of common shares.

To calculate Basic EPS and Diluted EPS, we assume that all preferred shares are converted into common stock. This is known as the “If-converted” method. It illustrates what happens if all the conversion rights are exercised.

You can use this model as a template to calculate EPS.

This is an open-access Excel template in XLSX format that will be useful for anyone who wants to work as an Accountant, Financial Analyst, or Finance Manager.

The EPS Calculation is included in the Financial Reporting module of the CFA Level 1 Curriculum.
