6.Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share included the effect of all potential common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share computation for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, included all unexercised stock options, as no stock options were determined to be anti-dilutive during such periods. The diluted earnings per share computation for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, excluded 207,751 of unexercised stock options because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive during such periods. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share to be paid November 26, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2025. The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a 5% stock dividend issuable December 15, 2025 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 1, 2025. The shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated are shown below:
