(1)See Note 11 for further information concerning the terms of the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the computation of diluted earnings per share did not include certain securities. These securities represent underlying stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion of such equity awards would have been antidilutive.

See Note 8 for information concerning the Company’s subsequent share repurchases.
