3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities, such as nonvested restricted stock. During loss periods, diluted loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

​

The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation arrangements is accounted for using the treasury stock method. The Company includes the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized as assumed proceeds. For the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, there were 287,366 shares and no shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, there were no shares of nonvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution.

The following table provides the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:
