Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share The Company utilizes the two-class method to report earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to each class of stock, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for each class of stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to each class of stock, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, plus dilutive potential common shares, which is calculated using the treasury-stock method. The potentially dilutive common shares did not have a dilutive effect on the Company’s EPS calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share under the two-class method for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions, except share amounts, which are reflected in thousands, and per share data):
