Earnings Per Share

Note 6.  Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock; however, potential common equivalent shares are excluded if the effect of including these shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company’s two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B Non-Voting, have equal rights to dividends and income, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each class of common stock. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any Class B Non-Voting common stock outstanding.

Diluted net earnings per share takes into account the potential conversion of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants using the treasury stock method and convertible notes using the if-converted method. For the three months

ended June 30, 2020, the Company excluded 120,000 potentially dilutive securities, whose effect would have been anti-dilutive from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not exclude any potentially dilutive securities, whose effect would have been anti-dilutive, from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company excluded 1,032,305 and 976,613 shares related to restricted stock units for which the performance metric had yet to be achieved as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted net earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
