Earnings Per Share
NOTE 5 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding SARs, RSUs and PSUs, computed using the treasury stock method. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we repurchased 30.747 million shares, 37.812 million shares and 3.287 million shares, respectively, of our common stock. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts):
