Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | NOTE 16. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Restricted stock is included in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, but excluded from the basic EPS calculation until the shares vest. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock and the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The effect of dilutive securities includes the impact of outstanding stock-based incentive awards and shares purchased by employees through participation in the Company's employee stock purchase plan. The calculations of basic and diluted EPS were as follows:
