Earnings Per Share

12 Months Ended

Feb. 03, 2018

Our common stock consists of two classes: Class A and Class B. The Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights, except with respect to voting and conversion.

Net income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, and unamortized compensation, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by us to purchase the common shares at the average market price during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock represent outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock, in aggregate, for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
