Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Net Income per Common Share

The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of share-based awards using the treasury stock method.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:
