Net sales by groups of similar products and services Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Equipment $ 196.6 $ 189.5 $ 597.1 $ 579.1 Parts and consumables 68.0 68.3 207.5 212.7 Service and other 51.2 46.9 153.2 140.4 Total $ 315.8 $ 304.7 $ 957.8 $ 932.2 Net sales by sales channel Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Sales direct to consumer $ 222.6 $ 214.6 $ 673.7 $ 638.4 Sales to distributors 93.2 90.1 284.1 293.8 Total $ 315.8 $ 304.7 $ 957.8 $ 932.2 Contract Liabilities Sales Returns The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns using the expected value method by assessing historical sales levels and the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales and projecting this experience into the future. Sales Incentives Our sales contracts may contain various customer incentives, such as volume-based rebates or other promotions. We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using the most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. We forecast the most likely amount of the incentive to be paid at the time of sale, update this forecast quarterly, and adjust the transaction price accordingly to reflect the new amount of incentives expected to be earned by the customer. A majority of our customer incentives are settled within one year. We record our accruals for volume-based rebates and other promotions in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The change in our sales incentive accrual balance was as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 21.2 $ 20.0 Additions to sales incentive accrual 20.5 21.9 Contract payments ( 20.9 ) ( 20.4 ) Foreign currency fluctuations 0.1 ( 0.1 ) Ending balance $ 20.9 $ 21.4 11 Table of Contents Deferred Revenue We sell separately priced prepaid contracts to our customers where we receive payment at the inception of the contract and defer recognition of the consideration received because we have to satisfy future performance obligations. Our deferred revenue balance includes autonomous subscription sales and prepaid maintenance contracts on our machines ranging from 12 months to 60 months. In circumstances where prepaid contracts are bundled with machines, we use an observable price to determine stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The change in the deferred revenue balance was as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 10.3 $ 9.3 Increase in deferred revenue representing our obligation to satisfy future performance obligations 21.8 13.5 Decrease in deferred revenue for amounts recognized in net sales for satisfied performance obligations ( 15.3 ) ( 14.0 ) Foreign currency fluctuations ( 0.5 ) — Ending balance $ 16.3 $ 8.8 At September 30, 2024, $ 8.3 million and $ 8.0 million of deferred revenue was reported in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Of these amounts, we expect to recognize the following approximate amounts in net sales in the following periods: Remaining 2024 $ 4.4 2025 4.3 2026 3.6 2027 2.1 2028 1.3 Thereafter 0.6 Total $ 16.3 At December 31, 2023, $ 7.9 million and $ 2.4 million of deferred revenue was reported in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. 12 Table of Contents 4. Management Actions Restructuring Actions During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring expenses as part of our ongoing global reorganization efforts. The following pre-tax restructuring charges were included in selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The expense in 2023 impacted the EMEA and Asia Pacific (APAC) operating segments. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances for severance-related costs is as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 2.4 $ 1.7 New charges 1.2 1.1 Cash payments ( 1.3 ) ( 1.6 ) Foreign currency fluctuations ( 0.1 ) — Adjustments to accrual ( 0.6 ) 0.1 Ending balance $ 1.6 $ 1.3 5. Acquisitions On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100 % of M&F Management and Financing GmbH ("M&F"), the parent company of TCS EMEA GmbH ("TCS"), as we seek to accelerate growth in the EMEA region. Based in Austria, TCS was Tennant Company's largest Central and Eastern Europe distributor. The acquisition gives Tennant a knowledgeable and experienced sales force and an established direct channel into countries including Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, along with an expanded network in Austria, Switzerland, Poland, and other nations in the region, as well as the Middle East and Africa. Our consolidated financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 include $ 7.5 million of revenue and $ 1.1 million of net income related to TCS. Our consolidated financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 include $ 16.6 million of revenue and $ 2.3 million of net income related to TCS. The proforma impact of this acquisition is immaterial to our operations. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. These changes will 13 Table of Contents primarily relate to the impacts associated with income taxes. Such finalization may result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition: March 31, 2024 Adjustments June 30, 2024 Components of purchase price: Cash paid $ 30.8 $ 0.2 $ 31.0 Settlement of preexisting transactions 3.9 — 3.9 Total purchase price 34.7 0.2 34.9 ASSETS Cash 5.3 0.1 5.4 Other current assets 8.0 ( 0.7 ) 7.3 Intangible assets subject to amortization Customer lists 13.6 ( 0.4 ) 13.2 Backlog 0.6 — 0.6 Other assets 5.3 0.3 5.6 Total identifiable assets acquired 32.8 ( 0.7 ) 32.1 LIABILITIES Current liabilities ( 1.5 ) — ( 1.5 ) Long-term liabilities ( 5.0 ) ( 0.2 ) ( 5.2 ) Total identifiable liabilities assumed ( 6.5 ) ( 0.2 ) ( 6.7 ) Net assets acquired 26.3 ( 0.9 ) 25.4 Goodwill $ 8.4 $ 1.1 $ 9.5 Included in the total purchase price is cash paid of $ 31.0 million and the settlement of $ 3.9 million of preexisting transactions. In connection with the acquisition, we paid cash totaling $ 30.8 million on the acquisition date of February 29, 2024 and $ 0.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. There were no adjustments to purchase price allocation in the third quarter of 2024. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The expected lives of the acquired intangible assets is 3 months and 10 years for backlog and customer lists, respectively, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis. 14 Table of Contents 6.

Debt On April 5, 2021, we and certain of our foreign subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a senior secured credit facility until April 3, 2026, consisting of a term loan facility in an amount up to $ 100.0 million and a revolving facility in an amount up to $ 450.0 million with an option to expand the credit facility by up to $ 275.0 million, with the consent of the lenders willing to provide additional borrowings in the form of increases to their revolving facility commitment or funding of incremental term loans. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies. On November 10, 2022, we amended the 2021 Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR (as defined in the Amendment) as the reference rate for purposes of calculating interest under the 2021 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amendment) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % per annum, but in any case, not less than 0 %, plus an additional spread of 1.10 % to 1.70 %, depending on our leverage ratio, or (b) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amendment), which is the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 % and 16 Table of Contents (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month period, but in any case, not less than 1.0 %, plus, in any such case, 1.0 %, plus an additional spread of 0.10 % to 0.70 %, depending on our leverage ratio. All other material terms included in the 2021 Credit Agreement remain unchanged as a result of the Amendment. On August 7, 2024, we and certain of our foreign subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2024 Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which amends and restates the 2021 Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment. The 2024 Credit Agreement provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a senior secured credit facility until August 7, 2029, consisting of a revolving facility in an amount up to $ 650.0 million, with an option to expand the revolving facility or obtain incremental term loans by up to $ 325.0 million, with the consent of the lenders willing to provide additional borrowings in the form of increases to their revolving facility commitment or funding of incremental term loans. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies. The fee for undrawn committed funds under the revolving facility of the 2024 Credit Agreement ranges from an annual rate of 0.15 % to 0.30 %, depending on our leverage ratio. Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the 2024 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus 0.50 % and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) for a one month period plus 1 %; but in any case not less than 1 %, plus an additional spread of 0.25 % to 1 %, depending on our leverage ratio, (b) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an additional spread of 1.25 % to 2 %, depending on our leverage ratio, or (c) the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus an additional spread of 1.25 % to 2 %, depending on our leverage ratio. In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement, we reaffirmed our security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all its personal property and pledged the stock of certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2024 Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and those subsidiaries also provided a security interest in their similar personal property. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and liens and merge or consolidate with another entity. Further, the 2024 Credit Agreement contains the following covenants: • a covenant requiring us to maintain an indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00, with certain alternative requirements for permitted acquisitions of at least $ 50.0 million; • a covenant requiring us to maintain an EBITDA to interest expense ratio for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of each quarter of no less than 3.00 to 1; and • a covenant restricting us from paying dividends or repurchasing stock if, after giving effect to such payments and assuming no default exists or would result from such payment, our leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1, in such case limiting such payments to the greater of 10% of consolidated total assets and $ 100.0 million during any fiscal year. We are in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2024. 17 Table of Contents Debt Outstanding Debt outstanding consisted of the following: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Credit facility borrowings: Revolving credit facility borrowings $ 207.5 $ 110.0 Term loan facility borrowings — 90.0 Finance lease liabilities 1.7 0.6 Total debt 209.2 200.6 Less: current portion of long-term debt (a) ( 0.6 ) ( 6.4 ) Long-term debt $ 208.6 $ 194.2 (a) As of September 30, 2024, the Company was required to repay $ 0.6 million of finance lease liabilities, and no amounts in outstanding credit facility borrowings, over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding borrowings of $ 207.5 million under our revolving credit facility. We had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding in the amount of $ 3.2 million, leaving approximately $ 439.3 million of unused borrowing capacity on our revolving facility. Commitment fees on unused lines of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $ 0.4 million. The overall weighted average cost of debt was approximately 6.6 % and net of related cross-currency swap instruments and fixed rate interest rate swap instruments was approximately 5.1 %. Further details regarding the cross-currency swap instrument and fixed rate interest rate swap instrument are discussed in Note 10. 9. Warranty We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. Warranty terms on machines generally range from one to four years . The majority of the liability for estimated warranty claims represents amounts to be paid out in the near term for qualified warranty issues. The changes in warranty reserves were as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 11.1 $ 10.9 Additions charged to expense 7.9 9.5 Foreign currency fluctuations — 0.1 Claims paid ( 8.3 ) ( 9.3 ) Ending balance $ 10.7 $ 11.2 10. Derivatives Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. We evaluate hedge effectiveness on our hedges that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedge prospectively, as well as retrospectively, and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments along with the time value of purchased contracts in the same line item of the income statement as the item being hedged on our consolidated statements of income. 18 Table of Contents Our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to minimize concentration of risk. Balance Sheet Hedges We hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value recorded to net foreign currency transaction gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of income. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amounts of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments were $ 77.0 million and $ 73.0 million, respectively. Cash Flow Hedges We manage our floating rate debt exposure using interest rate swaps. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce our risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. We entered into an aggregate $ 120 million notional amount of interest rate swaps effective December 1, 2022, that exchange a variable rate of interest for a fixed rate of interest of 4.076 %. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. These swaps are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2026. Fair Value Hedges On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps associated with an intercompany loan from a wholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross-currency swaps are designated as fair value hedges. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these cross-currency swaps included € 75.0 million of total notional value. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregated scheduled interest payments over the course of the loan and related swaps amounted to € 5.8 million. The scheduled maturity and principal payment of the loan of € 75.0 million is due in April 2027. Net Investment Hedges On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements between Tennant Company and a wholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to protect a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in its Euro functional currency subsidiary against the risk of changes in the Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cross-currency swaps included € 75.0 million of total notional value. These swaps are scheduled to mature in April 2027. 19 Table of Contents The fair value of derivative instruments on our consolidated balance sheets was as follows: Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps Other current assets $ 0.1 $ 0.8 Other current liabilities $ 0.3 $ — Interest rate swaps Other assets — — Other liabilities 1.5 1.9 Derivatives designated as fair value hedges: Cross-currency swaps Other current assets 1.3 1.3 Other current liabilities — — Cross-currency swaps Other assets — — Other liabilities 4.0 3.3 Derivatives designated as net investment hedges: Cross-currency swaps Other current assets 1.2 1.2 Other current liabilities — — Cross-currency swaps Other assets — — Other liabilities 4.0 3.4 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency forward contracts Other current assets $ 0.1 $ — Other current liabilities $ 0.3 $ 1.6 As of September 30, 2024, we anticipate reclassifying $ 2.3 million of gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income during the next 12 months.

Fair Value Measurements Estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for 21 Table of Contents measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at September 30, 2024 was as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity securities $ 20.0 $ — $ — $ 20.0 Debt securities 12.1 — — 12.1 Foreign currency forward contracts 0.1 — 0.1 — Cross-currency swaps 2.5 — 2.5 — Interest rate swaps 0.1 — 0.1 — Total assets 34.8 — 2.7 32.1 Liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts 0.3 — 0.3 — Cross-currency swaps 8.0 — 8.0 — Interest rate swaps 1.8 — 1.8 — Total liabilities $ 10.1 $ — $ 10.1 $ — Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at December 31, 2023 was as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cross-currency swaps $ 2.5 $ — $ 2.5 $ — Interest rate swaps 0.8 — 0.8 — Total assets 3.3 — 3.3 — Liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts 1.6 — 1.6 — Cross-currency swaps 6.7 — 6.7 — Interest rate swaps 1.9 — 1.9 — Total liabilities $ 10.2 $ — $ 10.2 $ — Our foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps are valued using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. Further details regarding our derivative instruments are discussed in Note 10. 22 Table of Contents On February 21, 2024, the Company acquired certain investment securities in Brain Corp, a privately held autonomous technology company located in San Diego, California. The investment will drive the development and adoption of Brain Corp's next generation of robotic and AI technologies. The investment securities include $ 12.1 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock, accounted for as available-for-sale debt instruments. The investment securities also include $ 12.2 million of non-redeemable convertible preferred stock and $ 7.8 million of warrants, accounted for as equity instruments under the elected measurement alternative. The equity and debt securities were recorded at closing at their allocated fair values. For equity instruments, the carrying amount will be adjusted to fair value through net income each period based upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer and monitored for impairment. For debt instruments, the carrying amount will be adjusted to fair value each period through other comprehensive income. The securities will be measured to fair value based on Level 3 inputs. As of September 30, 2024, the total carrying value of our equity and debt instruments was $ 20.0 million and $ 12.1 million, respectively, which is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The debt instruments will mature on February 21, 2029. There have been no remeasurements of the equity securities as of September 30, 2024. Fair value adjustments for debt securities were not material as of September 30, 2024. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $ 209.2 million as of September 30, 2024. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $ 198.2 million and $ 200.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and remaining maturities. 12. Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, we may become liable with respect to pending and threatened litigation, tax, environmental and other matters. While the ultimate results of current claims, investigations and lawsuits involving us are unknown at this time, we do not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Legal costs associated with such matters are expensed as incurred. 23 Table of Contents 13. Shareholders' Equity Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The changes in components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, are as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments Pension and Post- Retirement Medical Benefits Derivative Financial Instruments Total Beginning balance $ ( 45.6 ) $ 3.7 $ ( 0.4 ) $ ( 42.3 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications ( 1.7 ) ( 0.2 ) 1.3 ( 0.6 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss ( 0.7 ) — ( 1.7 ) ( 2.4 ) Net current period other comprehensive loss ( 2.4 ) ( 0.2 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 3.0 ) Ending balance $ ( 48.0 ) $ 3.5 $ ( 0.8 ) $ ( 45.3 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments Pension and Post- Retirement Medical Benefits Derivative Financial Instruments Total Beginning balance $ ( 53.9 ) $ 2.7 $ 1.0 $ ( 50.2 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications ( 4.5 ) — 2.1 ( 2.4 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss ( 0.7 ) — ( 1.4 ) ( 2.1 ) Net current period other comprehensive (loss) income ( 5.2 ) — 0.7 ( 4.5 ) Ending balance $ ( 59.1 ) $ 2.7 $ 1.7 $ ( 54.7 ) 24 Table of Contents 14. Income Taxes We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for taxable years before 2018. The number of years which remain open for audit for U.S. state or foreign tax purposes varies by jurisdiction but generally ranges from three to five years . We are currently undergoing income tax examinations in various foreign jurisdictions. Although the outcome of these examinations cannot be currently determined, we believe that we have adequate reserves with respect to these examinations. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the liability of $ 4.7 million for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 0.6 million for accrued interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of September 30, 2024 was $ 4.1 million. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be revised and reflected as an adjustment of the income tax expense. 15. Share-Based Compensation Our share-based compensation plans are described in Note 18 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized total share-based compensation expense of $ 4.1 million and $ 4.7 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized total share-based compensation expense of $ 9.4 million and $ 8.6 million, respectively. The total excess tax recognized for share-based compensation arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was a tax benefit of $ 3.0 million and tax expense of $ 0.1 million, respectively. 16. Earnings Per Share The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net income $ 20.8 $ 22.9 $ 77.1 $ 78.5 Denominator: Basic - weighted average shares outstanding 18,810,267 18,570,293 18,790,824 18,485,806 Effect of dilutive securities 283,606 308,018 329,631 261,322 Diluted - weighted average shares outstanding 19,093,873 18,878,311 19,120,455 18,747,128 Basic earnings per share $ 1.11 $ 1.23 $ 4.10 $ 4.25 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.09 $ 1.21 $ 4.03 $ 4.19 Excluded from the dilutive securities shown above were options to purchase and shares to be paid out under share-based compensation plans of 4,124 and 169,458 shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluded from the dilutive securities shown above were options to purchase and shares to be paid out under share-based compensation plans of 88,992 and 325,862 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These exclusions were made if the exercise prices of the options are greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period, if the number of shares we can repurchase under the treasury stock method exceeds the weighted average shares outstanding in the options or if we have a net loss, as these effects would be anti-dilutive. 25 Table of Contents
