Earnings Per Share
NOTE 8 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share ("EPS") is presented on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

A reconciliation of the common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,
Nine Months Ended September 30,

Stock options, service-based restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units representing 2,174,505 and 652,317 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1,738,354 and 810,092 shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method or because the shares were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.
