As a result of the two-for-one stock split effective May 15, 2013, see Note 9, Common Stock Split, all historical per share data and number of shares were retroactively adjusted. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed independently for each quarter and the year-to-date period presented. As a result of the stock split, changes in shares outstanding during the year and rounding, the sum of the quarters' earnings per share may not necessarily equal the earnings per share for the year-to-date period.
