EARNINGS PER SHARE

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Nonvested shares of restricted stock are included in the computation of basic EPS because the holder has voting rights and shares in non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company’s common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no stock options excluded in computing diluted EPS.

In November 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (the “November 2022 repurchase program”). Under the November 2022 repurchase program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $2.5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, over a period beginning on November 28, 2022 and continuing until the earlier of the completion of the authorized level of repurchases or May 28, 2023, depending upon market conditions. The Company completed the November 2022 repurchase program on May 5, 2023, repurchasing a total of 394,334 shares at an average cost of $6.34 per share for a total cost of $2.5 million. All shares repurchased under the November 2022 program were retired as of May 28, 2023.

On September 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (the “September 2024 repurchase program”). Under the September 2024 repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $2.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program will continue until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or 12 months after the effective date of October 29, 2024, depending on market conditions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had repurchased 200,073 shares at a total cost of $1.1 million under the September 2024 repurchase program at an average price of $5.43 per share.
