Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Research and Development

The Company incurred research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 of $24.1 and $21.7, respectively.  These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Issued

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates.  This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may apply the amendments prospectively to contract modifications made or relationships entered into or evaluated through December 31, 2022.  The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the current period.  The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of this guidance on future contract modifications through December 31, 2022.  

There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to holders of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period.  Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis:
