A reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is presented below (in thousands):

	2023	2022	2021
Weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic	1,044,887	1,053,558	1,057,526
Dilutive securities	13,094	12,884	13,752

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, options and awards outstanding totaling 3.3 million shares, 6.0 million shares and 1.6 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculations as their effect would have been antidilutive.
