Earnings Per Share

9 Months Ended

Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended		Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 30, 2023	October 1, 2022	September 30, 2023	October 1, 2022
Weighted Average Shares - Basic	32,707	32,085	33,000	32,241
Net Effect of Dilutive Stock Options	—	—	—	—
Weighted Average Shares - Diluted	32,707	32,085	33,000	32,241

Stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the underlying common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are out-of-the-money and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The number of common shares covered by out-of-the-money stock options was approximately 594,000 shares as of September 30, 2023 and 1,106,000 shares as of October 1, 2022. Further, due to our net loss in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of stock compensation had an anti-dilutive effect and therefore was excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.

Currently, the Company expects to fund its discretionary 401K contribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, with treasury stock in lieu of cash. The earnings per share calculation for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, is inclusive of the approximately 0.1 million in shares outstanding for the equivalent shares needed to fulfill the obligation using the closing share price as of September 30, 2023. Actual shares issued may differ based on the sale price on the settlement date.
