Reconciliation of Shares Used in Calculating Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (shares in thousands):

 

     Three months ended September 30,      Nine months ended September 30,  
     2014      2013      2014      2013  

Basic weighted-average shares outstanding

      86,576         105,394         88,236         109,221   

Effect of common stock equivalents - stock options and non-vested stock under employee compensation plans (1)

      —           573         2,999         1,026   
  

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

  

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (1)

      86,576         105,967         91,235         110,247   
  

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

  

Weighted-average anti-dilutive common stock equivalents (1)

      7,602         4,487         4,461         5,023   
  

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

  

 

(1)  For periods in which losses are presented, dilutive earnings per share calculations do not differ from basic earnings per share because the effects of any potential common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, those potential shares totaled 2,741 which are included in the weighted average anti-dilutive common stock equivalents above in addition to 4,861 of out of the money anti-dilutive common stock equivalents for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
