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 table summarizes our earnings per share:

There were no shares repurchased from related parties. Repurchased shares were retired and assumed the status of authorized and unissued shares.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase plan that increased the remaining amount authorized for future repurchases to a maximum of $200.0 million with no time limitation. At December 31, 2022, the remaining amount authorized by the Board of Directors for future share repurchases was $199.3 million.
