Earnings Per Share Data

Earnings Per Share Data

The reported Net Earnings Attributable to the Company were used when computing Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share for all years presented. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation is as follows: 

(in thousands)	2019	2018	2017
Basic Weighted-average Shares Outstanding	534,578	530,742	528,363
Dilutive Potential Common Shares	10,654	13,127	10,753
Diluted Weighted-average Shares Outstanding	545,232	543,869	539,116

For fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, a total of 2.8 million, 7.3 million, and 3.7 million weighted-average outstanding stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of dilutive potential common shares since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on Earnings Per Share.
