EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

NOTE FEARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The reported net earnings attributable to the Company were used when computing basic and diluted earnings per share.  The following table sets forth the shares used as the denominator for those computations:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 26, 2015	April 27, 2014	April 26, 2015	April 27, 2014
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	264,028	263,926	263,852	263,839
Dilutive potential common shares	6,416	6,484	6,401	6,478
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	270,444	270,410	270,253	270,317

For the second quarter and six months ended April 26, 2015, 1.2 million and 0.9 million weighted-average 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, compared to 1.0 million and 0.8 million for the second quarter and six months ended April 27, 2014.
