Earnings Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Earnings Per Share Per the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards qualify as participating securities.

Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method, based on their rights to receive dividends, participate in earnings, or absorb losses. Basic earnings per common shares is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested restricted shares.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Net income	$	2,122	$	3,260

Earnings allocated to common shareholders	$	2,116	$	3,248

Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	9,104,371		8,987,482
Dilutive stock options	51,350		100,246
Dilutive restricted stock grants	17,555		29,704
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	9,173,276		9,117,432

Basic earnings per share	$	0.23	$	0.36
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.23	$	0.36

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. For both the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, there were no options to purchase shares of common stock that were omitted from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
