The number of anti-dilutive shares were 332,339 and 355,419 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 362,203 and 369,183 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods and therefore, were not included in diluted earnings per share.
