NOTE 6.           EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share ("EPS") by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted EPS computation is similar to basic EPS except we increase the denominator to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding (using the if-converted and treasury stock methods) if our outstanding stock options and restricted stock units had been converted to common shares (when such conversion is dilutive).

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

There were no shares repurchased from related parties. Repurchased shares were retired and assumed the status of authorized and unissued shares. On July 29, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program, which authorized the Company to repurchase up to $200 million in shares of our common stock with no time limitation.
