Share Information

SHARE INFORMATION

Earnings per share have been calculated using the following share information:

	Quarters Ended March 31,
	2015	2014
Weighted average number of common shares used for basic EPS	37,309,829	37,964,320
Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted and deferred stock unit awards	231,720	378,476
Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common stock used in dilutive EPS	37,541,549	38,342,796

The Company excluded 270,061 and 362,477 stock options for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the Company’s common stock because they were anti-dilutive as their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares for each period.
