Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
12. | EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) were computed by dividing income from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS differs from basic EPS due to the assumed conversions of potentially dilutive options and restricted stock awards that were outstanding during the period. Each share of Class A common stock ranks equal to each share of Class B common stock with respect to receipt of any dividends or distributions declared on shares of common stock and the right to receive proceeds on liquidation or dissolution of the Company after payment of its indebtedness and liquidation preference payments to holders of any preferred shares. However, holders of Class A common stock have 1/20th of one vote per share on all matters requiring a shareholder vote, while holders of Class B common stock have one full vote per share. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for income from continuing operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic earnings per common share |  | $ | 3.85 |  |  | $ | 4.28 |  |  | $ | 4.71 |
Diluted earnings per common share and common share equivalents |  | $ | 3.72 |  |  | $ | 4.15 |  |  | $ | 4.57 |
Options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Anti-dilutive options – weighted average |  |  | 532 |  |  |  | 1,282 |  |  |  | 1,271 |
