Note 23: Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) of Class A and Class B Common Stock amounts are computed using the two‑class method required for participating securities. The Company issues certain restricted stock awards determined to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non‑forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the Company’s declaration of a dividend for common shares. As of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, there were 382,616 and 148,087 participating securities outstanding, respectively.

Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to common stockholders. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding, inclusive of undistributed shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock held in the DCP as phantom shares.

For the calculation of diluted EPS, net income attributable to common stockholders for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans. Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding.

Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the Company’s Class B Common Stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and, therefore, earnings per share would not differ under the two‑class method. The details of basic and diluted EPS are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 22: Earnings Per Share

Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to common stockholders. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted‑average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding.

For the calculation of diluted EPS, net income attributable to common stockholders for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans. Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the resulting net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted‑average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding.

Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the Company’s Class B Common Stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and therefore, earnings per share would not differ under the two‑class method. The details of basic and diluted EPS are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
