EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) have been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. The average number of common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are set forth in the tables below. There were no anti-dilutive shares in 2023 or 2022. Participating securities in the tables reflect dividends on nonvested restricted shares.

On January 10, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a 5 percent common stock dividend payable on February 4, 2022, to shareholders of record as of January 21, 2022. Holders of the Company’s common shares as of the record date received one additional common share for every 20 common shares held on the record date. No fractional shares were issued, and shareholders received cash for such fractional interests based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the record date of $19.89.

 

Had the 5 percent common stock dividend been included in the Company’s 2022 financial statements, common shares outstanding would have increased by approximately 345,000 and diluted earnings per share, assuming the shares were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022, would have decreased by $0.03per share.

 

In connection with the 5 percent common stock dividend, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Ohio Secretary of State on January 25, 2022 to amend Article FIRST of its Amended Articles of Incorporation to proportionately increase the authorized number of common shares, without par value, of the Company from 10,000,000 to 10,500,000. The addition of these authorized shares did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
