Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted, Other Disclosures [Abstract]

Reconciliation of earnings attributable to common shares, basic and diluted

The following table reconciles the Company’s earnings from operations and earnings attributable to common stockholders to the basic and diluted earnings used to determine the Company’s earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30,2017 and 2016, respectively, under the two-class method:

				Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
			September 30,				September 30,
(in millions)			2017		2016		2017		2016
Net income (loss) as reported			$	(113)	$	(51)	$	689	$	(1,337)
Participating basic earnings (a)				-		-		(5)		-
	Basic earnings attributable to common stockholders			(113)		(51)		684		(1,337)
Reallocation of participating earnings				-		-		-		-
	Diluted earnings attributable to common stockholders		$	(113)	$	(51)	$	684	$	(1,337)
(a)		Unvested restricted stock awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common equity holders of the Company. Participating earnings represent the distributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock awards do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so.
