† Non-GAAP financial metric. Calculations of this metric and reconciliations to GAAP are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

(1) Outstanding options and the closing price of the company's stock as of September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2020 had an anti-dilutive effect on each respective quarter end's weighted-average common shares outstanding; therefore, the effect of their conversion has been excluded from the calculation of the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for those periods. The diluted EPS for those quarters has been calculated using the basic weighted-average shares outstanding in order to comply with GAAP. There was not an anti-dilutive effect for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(2) See Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures table.

References in the Original Earnings Release narrative to earnings per share for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 should have read $0.82 and $0.50 per basic share, respectively, instead of $0.90 and $0.55 per basic share, respectively. Additionally, in the Exhibit 99.2 narrative of the Original Earnings Release, cash dividends for 4Q20 should have read $0.18 per common share instead of $0.20 per common share.

The two tables below reflect non-GAAP reconciliations, and include the information previously reported in the Original Earnings Release under the heading 'Original Earnings Release', and appropriate adjustments to per common share data for prior quarters to reflect the 10% stock dividend issued in the first quarter of 2021 under the heading 'Adjusted Earnings Release'. The second table was also included in the Earnings Call Presentation included with the Original Form 8-K:
