NOTE 15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including potential dilution from the exercise of in-the-money stock options, stock awards, the employee stock purchase plan, and warrants issued under various federal payroll support programs using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 1.9 million, 1.7 million, and 1.4 million during the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
