EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

5.EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS, but reflects the potential dilution that would occur if "in the money" stock options were exercised and converted into common stock. In determining the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS, treasury shares are excluded. Vested RSA shares are included in the calculation of the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS. Unvested RSA and PSA shares not yet awarded are recognized as a special class of participating securities under ASC 260, and are included in the calculation of the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended

Weighted average common shares outstanding		39,251,248		34,260,938
Basic EPS	$	0.82	$	(0.66)
Income (loss) attributable to common stock	$	32,336	$	(22,690)
Weighted average common shares outstanding		39,251,248		34,260,938
Weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding		—		1,067
Weighted average common and equivalent shares outstanding		39,251,248		34,262,005
Diluted EPS	$	0.82	$	(0.66)

Common and equivalent shares resulting from the dilutive effect of "in-the-money" outstanding stock options are calculated based upon the excess of the average market value of the common stock over the exercise price of outstanding in-the-money stock options during the period.

There were 121,253 and 180,020 weighted-average stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were not considered in the calculation of diluted EPS since their exercise prices exceeded the average market price during the period.
