the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k 65 liquidity and capital management liquidity risk has two fundamental components . the first is potential loss assuming we were unable to meet our funding requirements at a reasonable cost . the second is the potential inability to operate our businesses because adequate contingent liquidity is not available . we manage liquidity risk at the consolidated company level ( bank , parent company and nonbank subsidiaries combined ) to help ensure that we can obtain cost-effective funding to meet current and future obligations under both normal 201cbusiness as usual 201d and stressful circumstances , and to help ensure that we maintain an appropriate level of contingent liquidity . management monitors liquidity through a series of early warning indicators that may indicate a potential market , or pnc-specific , liquidity stress event . in addition , management performs a set of liquidity stress tests over multiple time horizons with varying levels of severity and maintains a contingency funding plan to address a potential liquidity stress event . in the most severe liquidity stress simulation , we assume that our liquidity position is under pressure , while the market in general is under systemic pressure . the simulation considers , among other things , the impact of restricted access to both secured and unsecured external sources of funding , accelerated run-off of customer deposits , valuation pressure on assets and heavy demand to fund committed obligations . parent company liquidity guidelines are designed to help ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet our parent company obligations over the succeeding 24-month period . liquidity-related risk limits are established within our enterprise liquidity management policy and supporting policies . management committees , including the asset and liability committee , and the board of directors and its risk committee regularly review compliance with key established limits . in addition to these liquidity monitoring measures and tools described above , we also monitor our liquidity by reference to the liquidity coverage ratio ( lcr

pnc bank exceeded the fully phased-in requirement of 100% ( 100 % ) . we provide additional information regarding regulatory liquidity requirements and their potential impact on us in the supervision and regulation section of item 1 business and item 1a risk factors of this report . sources of liquidity our largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is the customer deposit base generated by our banking businesses . these deposits provide relatively stable and low-cost funding . total deposits increased to $ 267.8 billion at december 31 , 2018 from $ 265.1 billion at december 31 , 2017 driven by growth in interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits . see the funding sources section of the consolidated balance sheet review in this report for additional information related to our deposits . additionally , certain assets determined by us to be liquid as well as unused borrowing capacity from a number of sources are also available to

deposits with banks ) totaling $ 22.1 billion and securities available for sale totaling $ 63.4 billion . the level of liquid assets fluctuates over time based on many factors , including market conditions , loan and deposit growth and balance sheet management activities . our liquid assets included $ 2.7 billion of securities available for sale and trading securities pledged as collateral to secure public and trust deposits , repurchase agreements and for other purposes . in addition , $ 4.9 billion of securities held to maturity were also pledged as collateral for these purposes . we

have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from the current examination . we believe such estimates to be reasonable ; however , there can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position . in august 2011 , a canadian income tax examination covering our fiscal years 2005 through

Read the following texts and table with financial data from an S&P 500 earnings report carefully.Based on the question-answer history (if provided), answer the last question. The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.
note 18 2013 earnings per share ( eps ) basic eps is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period . diluted eps is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic eps calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares , which in the company 2019s case , includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans . the following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions</td><td>2017</td><td>2016</td><td>2015</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>weighted-average number of basic shares</td><td>95.1</td><td>95.8</td><td>95.9</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>shares issuable under incentive stock plans</td><td>0.9</td><td>1.1</td><td>1.0</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>weighted-average number of diluted shares</td><td>96.0</td><td>96.9</td><td>96.9</td></tr></table> at december 31 , 2017 , 0.1 million stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive . note 19 2013 commitments and contingencies the company is involved in various litigations , claims and administrative proceedings , including those related to environmental and product warranty matters . amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates , which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available . subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities , except as expressly set forth in this note , management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition , results of operations , liquidity or cash flows of the company . environmental matters the company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns . as to the latter , the company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities . the company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to , or in replacement of , those currently utilized by the company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes . changes to the company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves . the company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the u.s . environmental protection agency and similar state authorities . it has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ( "prp" ) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal superfund and state remediation sites . for all such sites , there are other prps and , in most instances , the company 2019s involvement is minimal . in estimating its liability , the company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other prps who may be jointly and severally liable . the ability of other prps to participate has been taken into account , based on our understanding of the parties 2019 financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis . additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future . the company incurred $ 3.2 million , $ 23.3 million , and $ 4.4 million of expenses during the years ended december 31 , 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company . in the fourth-quarter of 2016 , with the collaboration and approval of state regulators , the company launched a proactive , alternative approach to remediate two sites in the united states . this approach will allow the company to more aggressively address environmental conditions at these sites and reduce the impact of potential changes in regulatory requirements . as a result , the company recorded a $ 15 million charge for environmental remediation in the fourth quarter of 2016 . environmental remediation costs are recorded in costs of goods sold within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income . as of december 31 , 2017 and 2016 , the company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 28.9 million and $ 30.6 million . the total reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 included $ 8.9 million and $ 9.6 million related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the company . environmental reserves are classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term . the company's total current environmental reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 12.6 million and $ 6.1 million and the remainder is classified as noncurrent . given the evolving nature of environmental laws , regulations and technology , the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. .

note 18 2013 earnings per share ( eps ) basic eps is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period . diluted eps is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic eps calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares , which in the company 2019s case , includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans . the following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

expressly set forth in this note , management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition , results of operations , liquidity or cash flows of the company . environmental matters the company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns . as to the latter , the company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities . the company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to , or in replacement of , those currently utilized by the company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes . changes to the company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves . the company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the u.s . environmental protection agency and similar state authorities . it has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ( "prp" ) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal superfund and state remediation sites . for all such sites , there are other prps and , in most instances , the company 2019s involvement is minimal . in estimating its liability , the company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other prps who may be jointly and severally liable . the ability of other prps to participate has been taken into account , based on our understanding of the parties 2019 financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis . additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future . the company incurred $ 3.2 million , $ 23.3 million , and $ 4.4 million of expenses during the years ended december 31 , 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company . in the fourth-quarter of 2016 , with the collaboration and approval of state regulators , the company launched a proactive , alternative approach to remediate two sites in the united states . this approach will allow the company to more aggressively address environmental conditions at these sites and reduce the impact of potential changes in regulatory requirements . as a result , the company recorded a $ 15 million charge for environmental remediation in the fourth quarter of 2016 . environmental remediation costs are recorded in costs of goods sold within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income . as of december 31 , 2017 and 2016 , the company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 28.9 million and $ 30.6 million . the total reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 included $ 8.9 million and $ 9.6 million related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the company . environmental reserves are classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term . the company's total current environmental reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 12.6 million and $ 6.1 million and the remainder is classified as noncurrent . given the evolving nature of environmental laws , regulations and technology , the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. .
