Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts based on net income for the periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share, or EPS. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and other stock-based awards.
The Company currently has outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Holders of certain unvested Class A Restricted Common Stock are entitled to participate in non-forfeitable dividends or other distributions (“participating securities”). These unvested restricted shares participated in the Company's dividends declared and paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024. As such, EPS is calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are reduced by distributed earnings as well as any available undistributed earnings allocable to holders of these unvested restricted shares. A reconciliation of the income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

There were approximately 0.8 million and 1.1 million of participating securities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 0.7 million and 1.1 million shares of participating securities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2)    The impact of anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of EPS was not material during the periods presented.
