Note 8—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive common shares, the dilutive effect of which relates to stock options. A reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares

outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
