(a)In November 2018, we entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 50.01% interest in Lamb Weston BSW, LLC (“Lamb Weston BSW”). Our Consolidated Statements of Earnings includes 100% of Lamb Weston BSW’s earnings beginning November 2, 2018. During the thirty-nine weeks ended February 24, 2019, net income available to common stockholders and earnings per share included accretion expense, net of estimated tax benefits, of $10.0 million, or $0.07 per share, to increase the redeemable noncontrolling interest to the amount we agreed to pay to acquire the remaining interest in Lamb Weston BSW. While the accretion, net of estimated tax benefits, reduced net income available to Lamb Weston common stockholders and earnings per share, it did not impact net income in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The thirteen weeks ended February 24, 2019, included a $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, decrease in tax benefits related to the agreement to acquire Lamb Weston BSW.

(b)Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and performance awards. As of February 23, 2020, an insignificant number of stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be antidilutive. As of February 24, 2019, we did not have any stock-based awards that were antidilutive.
