 for approximately 49%, 50%, and 48% of our sales, respectively, in the aggregate. No individual customer exceeded 10% of our sales in 2024, 2023, or 2022.Our businesses routinely incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, promote sales of products, and maintain competitive pricing. Customer program costs and incentives, including rebates and promotion and volume allowances, are accounted for as a reduction in net sales at the time the program is initiated and/or the revenue is recognized. The costs include, but are not limited to, volume allowances and rebates, promotional allowances, and cooperative advertising programs. These costs are recorded at the later of the time of sale or the implementation of the program based on management’s best estimates. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer. Volume allowances are accrued based on our estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new product purchases, store sell-through, merchandising support, and customer training. Management adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we accrued $48 million and $37 million, respectively, for customer rebates recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We ship some of our products to customers' distribution centers on a consignment basis. We retain title to our products stored at the distribution centers. As our products are removed from the distribution centers by retailers and shipped to retailers’ stores, title passes from us to the retailers. At that time, we invoice the retailers and recognize revenue for these consignment transactions. We do not offer a right of return for products shipped to the retailers’ stores from the distribution centers. The amount of consignment inventory as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $23 million and $28 million, respectively.

4.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method.
