Earnings Per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and the number of common shares used in the computations of “basic” earnings per share (“EPS”), which utilizes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and “diluted” EPS, which includes all such shares (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Performance Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) issued to certain executives in March 2020, March 2019, March 2018 and March 2017 were not considered in the computation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as no share units would have been issued under the plan.  PRSUs issued in March 2019 and March 2018 were dilutive and the PRSUs issued in March 2017 were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as the calculation was anti-dilutive.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment of $2.2 million as income and $0.9 million as expense, respectively, primarily in connection with the PRSUs issued in March 2018.  

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program.  In the first three months of 2020, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares at a cost of $7.5 million.  These shares are recorded as Treasury Shares on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
