18. Earnings Per Common Share

Note 18 - Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options as well as non-vested restricted stock awards. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share excludes those options with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the periods presented.

 

The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share excludes outstanding options in periods where the exercise of such options would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no options were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share as they would have been anti-dilutive for the relevant periods and, as a result, the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share has not been adjusted for the effect of such options.

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share follows:
