7.	Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares represent the incremental ordinary shares issuable for restricted share units and share option exercises. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted share units and share options on earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2017	September 30, 2016	September 29, 2017	September 30, 2016
Basic	96.7	107.6	99.5	109.1
Dilutive impact of restricted share units and share options	0.3	1.0	0.3	0.9
Diluted	97.0	108.6	99.8	110.0

The computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017 excludes approximately 4.3 million and 3.6 million shares of equity awards, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 excludes approximately 1.6 million and 1.7 million shares of equity awards, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
