Earnings Per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

There are no adjustments to “Net income applicable to Piedmont” for the diluted earnings per share computations.

Net income per share-basic is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per share-diluted is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including unvested deferred stock awards. Diluted weighted average number of common shares reflects the potential dilution under the treasury stock method that would occur if the remaining unvested and potential stock awards vested and resulted in additional common shares outstanding. Unvested and potential stock awards which are determined to be anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Piedmont calculated and excluded weighted average outstanding anti-dilutive shares of approximately 156,251 and 20,099, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Piedmont calculated and excluded weighted average outstanding anti-dilutive shares of 294,348 and 169,813, respectively.

The following table reconciles the denominator for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations shown on the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands):
