Earnings Per Common Share

10. Earnings Per Common Share

The Company calculates earnings per common share using the two-class method. The two-class method allocates net income to each class of common stock and participating security according to common dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities consist of nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents.

A summary of the information used in the computation of earnings per common share follows.

Potential common shares consist of stock options, nonvested performance-based awards, nonvested restricted stock units, and restricted share awards deferred under the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. These potential common shares do not enter into the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the impact would be antidilutive, i.e., increase earnings per share or reduce a loss per share. Potential common shares with weighted averages totaling 10,390 and 13,940 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 97,558 and 109,801 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, did not enter the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
