NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE AND EQUITY PER COMMON SHARE

NOTE 14 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE AND EQUITY PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, the potentially dilutive effect of employee stock options and restricted stock awards.

The following table summarizes the shares used in computing basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,
		2025	2024		2025	2024
	(in thousands)			(in thousands)
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period for basic computation		10,308	10,293		10,305	10,290
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and awards		2	2		3	3
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period for diluted computation		10,310	10,295		10,308	10,293

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no shares of restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculations of diluted net income per share.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no stock options were excluded from the calculations of diluted net income per share.

The Company has 15,000,000 authorized shares of Class A Stock and 1,040,000 authorized shares of Class B Stock. As of June 30, 2025, 9,429,077 shares of Class A Stock and 881,452 shares of Class B Stock were issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, 9,414,094 shares of Class A Stock and 881,452 shares of Class B Stock were issued and outstanding. The par value for both classes is $1.00 per share.  

Equity per common share was $23.77 and $23.24 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts were computed by dividing common stockholders' equity by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
