Earnings per common share is calculated under the two-class method in which all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Webster may grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, or stock appreciation rights to certain employees and directors under its stock-based compensation programs, which entitle recipients to receive
non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.
Potential common shares from stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were 97,294 and 330,688 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and zero and 47,161 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
