Basic earnings per common share

   $ 0.28     $ 0.33  

Diluted earnings per common share

Options totaling 122,000 and 452,000 equivalent shares for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because including the options in the denominator would be antidilutive, or decrease the number of weighted-average shares, due to their exercise prices exceeding the average market price of the common shares, or because inclusion of average unrecognized compensation expense in the calculation would cause the options to be antidilutive.

 

Unvested performance unit awards totaling 49,560 equivalent shares for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 were considered outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of average unrecognized compensation expense in the calculation would cause the performance units to be antidilutive. There were no such equivalent shares for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
