NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates all earnings (distributed and undistributed) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company grants share-based awards to various employees and nonemployee directors that entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 under the two-class method. Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the two-class method, as this computation was more dilutive than the treasury-stock method.

​

The assumed proceeds used for calculating the dilutive impact of restricted stock awards under the treasury-stock method include the unrecognized compensation costs associated with the awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 968 thousand average restricted shares and 843 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury-stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 508 thousand average restricted shares and 377 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation. These average restricted shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury method because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (the exercise price of the options, or the grant date market price of the restricted shares, was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares of common stock during the periods presented).

In February 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 26, 2026 (the “2026 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 283 thousand shares under the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted-average price of $47.13 per share and immediately retired the shares, reducing stockholders’ equity by $13.3 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program during the three months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $61.7 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining under the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program.

During each of the three months ended March 31 and June 30, 2026, the Company paid a dividend of $0.68 per share. On August 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.68 per share for the third quarter of 2026. The dividend will be paid on September 3, 2026 to all holders of record of the Company’s restricted and unrestricted common stock as of August 20, 2026.

The Company awarded $5.5 million and $6.1 million of stock to settle compensation liabilities, a non-cash transaction, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Term Loan contains direct restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and the warehouse debt facilities and agreements with the Agencies contain minimum equity, liquidity, and other capital requirements that indirectly restrict the amount of dividends the Company may pay. The Company does not believe that these restrictions currently limit the amount of dividends the Company can pay for the foreseeable future.
