The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock awards, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock award during the period.  These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Furthermore, in periods when a net loss is reported, such as 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted net loss per common share are calculated using the same method.  Anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation of earnings per dilutive share were 1,463,000 and 391,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
