Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
In the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company included participating securities, which are certain equity awards that have non-forfeitable dividend participation rights. Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities under the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations require specific shares to be included that may differ in certain circumstances, and the Company determined that this difference was not material. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were 157,299 outstanding restricted stock awards included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were 110,146 outstanding restricted stock awards included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures

The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.

Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
