The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events. As future events and their effects cannot be fully determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

If there is a net loss, no amount of the undistributed loss is attributed to unvested participating securities. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 , the diluted per-share computations reflect the number of common shares outstanding to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (In Millions) Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to $ 353.2 $ 225.8 $ 377.7 $ 291.1 Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings — 0.2 — 0.2 Basic and diluted net earnings from continuing operations $ 353.2 $ 225.6 $ 377.7 $ 290.9 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 62.4 62.4 62.4 62.4 Effect of dilutive employee and director awards 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.1 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 62.5 62.5 62.6 62.5 Restricted Cash At December 31, 2021 , the Company had restricted cash of $ 0.5 million, which was invested in an account designated for the purchase of like-kind exchange replacement assets under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS procedures (Section 1031).
