Note 10 Earnings Per Share

A reconciliation of the common share components for the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations is as follows:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to H.B. Fuller by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding shares, which computes total employee proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Share-based compensation awards of 2,635,442 and 1,935,970 shares for the three months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations because they were antidilutive. Share-based compensation awards of 2,891,579 and 2,132,875 shares for the nine months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations because they were antidilutive.
