Note 4 – Earnings per Share

 

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities at any given point in time may consist of outstanding stock options, issued and contingently issuable unvested restricted share units, and other performance-based share awards. Options for common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is antidilutive.  See Note 15 to these consolidated condensed financial statements for more information regarding share-based payment arrangements. 

 

For the periods covered below, the basic and diluted shares are as follows:
