On July 11, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split of the Company’s common and Class B stock to be effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. As a result, shareholders received one additional share of common or Class B stock for every two shares they held of the respective class of stock as of the record date. These shares were distributed on August 1, 2016, to shareholders of record as of the end of business on July 22, 2016. All share and per share data (except par value) have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented. The number of shares of common and Class B stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options were proportionately increased in accordance with terms of the respective plans. The number of authorized shares, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was not affected by the stock split and, accordingly, has not been adjusted.

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the sum of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. The weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2017 were 469,000 and 475,000, respectively, which equates to 207,000 and 210,000 dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively. Weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2016 were 476,000 and 481,000, respectively, which equates to 169,000 and 146,000 dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the quarters and six month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
