159
160 Net income attributable to stockholders decreased 11% to $151.9 million compared to $170.1 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily related to lower operating income and lower other income. The company also recognized a $1.2 million loss due to the change in the fair value of derivatives which are being used to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its purchase consideration for the acquisition of Euro Auctions. These decreases were partially offset by the decrease in the income tax expense driven by the lower effective tax rate.
161
162
163 Diluted EPS attributable to stockholders decreased 12% to $1.36 per share compared to $1.54 in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net income attributable to stockholder, combined with an increase in the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding over 2020.
