EPS is a measure of company performance (net profits/number of shares). It is not a promise of payment etc.

Some companies make regular distributions to shareholders through dividends. This will be declared (typically every quarter) and is up to the discretion of the board of directors. The dividend payment per share is NOT related to the EPS.
