EARNINGS PER SHARE

Dec. 31, 2023

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including performance share awards, using the treasury stock method. Performance share awards are included based on the number of shares that would be issued as if the end of the reporting period was the end of the performance period and the result was dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s potentially dilutive securities consisted of options to purchase common stock. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's potentially dilutive securities consisted of redeemable convertible preferred stock and options to purchase common stock. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net income per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Time-based options outstanding		140,135		140,135
Total		140,135		140,135

Our performance-based stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2022 because all necessary performance conditions were not satisfied by December 31, 2022. Our performance-based stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Performance-based options outstanding		—		534,063
