(2)
The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of EPS during the year ended December 31, 2018 was impacted by the issuance of KDP common stock and the shares retained by the DPS stockholders. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity and Note 1 of the Notes to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Additionally, EPS for periods owned by the predecessor were computed under the predecessor's ownership structure and were not adjusted as a result of the DPS Merger.
(3)
