We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based awards. Options outstanding not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares were not material. The number of common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 331.9 million and 337.0 million, respectively.
