Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares considered outstanding during the periods. The calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive securities (principally outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants). The number of weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

Weighted average shares:
Basic shares231,097 230,126 
Equity-based compensation plans938 1,103 
Diluted shares232,035 231,229 
The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excluded an immaterial number of stock options because the exercise prices of these stock options exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares, and the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
