In addition, 26 thousand, 25 thousand and 0.2 million shares related to out-of-the money stock options, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended October 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for each period.
