Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the Company’s stock options, RSUs (including PRSUs), common stock to be issued under the ESPP and warrants. Potentially dilutive shares issuable upon conversion of the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (2.125% Notes) are calculated using the if-converted method.

The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Potential shares from employee equity plans and the impact from the conversion of the 2.125% Notes up to the conversion date, totaling 16 million and 2 million shares for 2022 and 2021, respectively, were not included in the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
