The following tables reconcile the denominator and numerator used to compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to the denominator and numerator used to compute diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and income available to shareholders. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS, except the income available to shareholders is adjusted to add back interest expense, after tax, related to the Convertible Senior Note, and the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the dilutive effects of stock-based awards and shares underlying the Convertible Senior Note.

Convertible Senior Note dilution impact is calculated using the if-converted method. In connection with the offerings of the Notes, the Company entered into a convertible note hedge and warrants (see Note 10 Debt and Credit Facilities); however, the convertible note hedge is not considered when calculating dilutive shares given its impact is anti-dilutive. The impact of the bond hedge would offset the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the Convertible Senior Note. The warrants have a strike price above our average share price during the period and are out of the money and not included in the tables below.

Dilutive potential common shares include, when circumstances require, shares the Company could be obligated to issue from its Convertible Senior Notes and warrants (see Note 10 for further discussion) and stock-based awards. Shares to be provided to the Company from its bond hedge purchased concurrently with the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes are anti-dilutive and are not included in its diluted shares. Anti-dilutive stock-based awards excluded from the calculation of earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were 2,911 and 2,449, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were 3,284 and 11,564, respectively.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted EPS were:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding		104,970,645		103,608,135		104,894,448		103,684,048
Stock-based awards		1,177,894		918,090		1,020,082		746,702
Convertible senior notes		8,916,530		8,916,530		8,916,530		8,916,530
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding		115,065,069		113,442,755		114,831,060		113,347,280

The net income available to shareholders to compute basic and diluted EPS were (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Net income attributable to Parsons Corporation	$	47,447	$	29,571		116,241		68,533

In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of shares of Common stock.
