Computation of Net Earnings per Share

Note 7.  Computation of Net Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased by the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive shares of common stock issuable on exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs had been issued, calculated using the treasury stock method.

The components of net earnings per share are as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2024		2023
Net income available to common stockholders	$	51,595	$	47,697
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding used in computing basic income per share		32,638		32,744
Incremental options and RSUs		288		549
Weighted average shares of common stock used in computing diluted net income per share		32,926		33,293
Net income per share
Basic	$	1.58	$	1.46
Diluted	$	1.57	$	1.43

Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding does not include 19,548 and 1,120 common equivalent shares issuable with respect to outstanding equity awards for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
