Earnings Per Share

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. In computing diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company assumes that all dilutive outstanding options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the period (or the time of issuance, if later). The dilutive effect of the restricted stock and the outstanding options is reflected by application of the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the restricted stock and the exercised options are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the respective periods. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 65,335,457 and 64,059,675 shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 64,540,034 and 64,038,526 shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing fully diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 65,501,697 and 64,304,985 shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing fully diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 64,736,155 and 64,302,615 shares, respectively.
