Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except for per share data):

	For the fiscal year ended
	December 31, 2013		December 25, 2012		December 27, 2011
Amounts used for basic and diluted per share calculations:
Net income	$	196,169	$	173,448	$	135,952
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — basic	28,629		29,217		29,601
Effect of dilutive stock-based employee compensation awards	165		238		302
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — diluted	28,794		29,455		29,903
Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	6.85	$	5.94	$	4.59
Diluted	$	6.81	$	5.89	$	4.55

For each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, December 25, 2012, and December 27, 2011, weighted-average outstanding stock options, restricted stock and stock-settled appreciation rights of less than 0.1 million shares were excluded in calculating diluted earnings per share as the exercise price exceeded fair market value and the inclusion of such shares would have been antidilutive.
