Note J – Earnings Per Share

Net (loss) income attributable to Murphy was used as the numerator in computing both basic and diluted income per Common share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.  The following table reports the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Dilutive stock options and restricted stock units ¹	—	—
Diluted method	153,952,552	153,312,647

1 Due to a net loss recognized by the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, no unvested stock awards were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table reflects certain options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented but were not included in the computation of diluted shares above because the incremental shares from the assumed conversion were antidilutive.
