(1) For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, weighted average shares used for calculating earnings per share excludes the impact of forward contracts related to the share repurchase agreement entered into on December 28, 2020 and December 19, 2019, respectively, as the inclusion of these instruments would be antidilutive to the earnings per share calculation. For more information on the share repurchase agreement, see the Shareholders' Equity Note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using unrounded, actual amounts. Therefore, the components of earnings per share may not sum to its corresponding total.
