NOTE 9—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:

Stock options, service-based restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock representing 693,403 and 937,523 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method or because the shares were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.
