Earnings Per Common Share
Note 21.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net earnings to common by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and RSUs for which the delivery of the underlying common stock is not subject to satisfaction of future service or performance conditions (collectively, basic shares). Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect of the common stock deliverable for RSUs for which the delivery of the underlying common stock is subject to satisfaction of future service or performance conditions.
The table below presents information about basic and diluted EPS.

In the table above:
 
 
Net earnings to common represents net earnings applicable to common shareholders, which is calculated as net earnings less preferred stock dividends.
 
 
Unvested share-based awards that have
non-forfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are treated as a separate class of securities under the
two-class
method. Distributed earnings allocated to these securities reduce net earnings to common to calculate EPS under this method. The impact of applying this methodology was a reduction in basic EPS of $0.01 for the three months ended September 2020, $0.02 for the three months ended September 2019, $0.06 for the nine months ended September 2020 and $0.04 for the nine months ended September 2019.

less than
0.1 million for
