[1] EPS are computed independently for each quarter and therefore the sum of each quarterly EPS may not equal the year-to-date EPS. As a result of the large stock issuances during 2015 as part of the Company's acquisitions, the computed independent quarterly average common shares outstanding and the computed year-to-date average common shares differ significantly. For purposes of calculating a roll-forward amount for year-to-date EPS, diluted EPS for the second quarter would require a computed amount of $0.74, producing a difference of $.02 from actual third quarter diluted EPS of $0.72. This difference is based on the direct result of the varying denominator for each period presented.
