NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following presents a reconciliation of the net earnings and shares used in calculating basic and diluted net earnings per common share:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
Net Earnings - Basic and Diluted	$	79,671	$	78,573	$	90,071
Share (000s)
Weighted Average Common Shares - Basic	32,136		32,093		31,839
Effect of Dilutive Securities – Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Performance Shares	369		352		391

Net Earnings Per Share - Basic	$	2.48	$	2.45	$	2.83
Net Earnings Per Share - Diluted	$	2.45	$	2.42	$	2.79

The Company had 12,250, 188,470, and 199,010 stock options outstanding at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods that were not included in diluted earnings per share because their effect on the period presented was anti-dilutive.

The Company has some share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable dividend rights. These awards are restricted shares and they participate on a one-for-one basis with holders of Common Stock. These awards have an immaterial impact as participating securities with regard to the calculation using the two-class method for determining earnings per share.
