EARNINGS PER SHARE

Dec. 31, 2021

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares included in this calculation consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, the assumed issuance of awards under the stock purchase plan and contingently issuable performance-based awards, as computed using the treasury stock method.

A summary of the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

The Company includes the shares underlying performance-based awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the performance conditions have been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and excludes such shares when the necessary conditions have not been met. The Company has included in the 2021, 2020 and 2019 calculations those shares that were contingently issuable upon the satisfaction of the performance conditions as of the end of the respective periods.

In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no outstanding stock awards were determined to be anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

In July 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, payable on August 18, 2020, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2020. The Company’s stockholders received one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock held on August 14, 2020. The share and per share information for all periods presented in this Form 10-K has been adjusted for the effect of the stock split.
