Simple Capital Structure

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Simple Capital Structure

A simple capital structure refers to a company’s financial framework that consists solely of common stock, without any complex financial instruments like convertible securities or stock options. This straightforward structure simplifies the calculation of earnings per share (EPS) as it excludes potential dilutive effects. Companies with a simple capital structure typically have fewer complexities in financial reporting and analysis.
