Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net (loss) income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share amounts:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2016			2015		2014
Numerator:
Net (loss) income	$	(330.5	)	$	81.8	$	228.8
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share—weighted average shares	226.0			227.1		224.0
Effect of dilutive securities (1)	—			5.3		5.6
Denominator for dilutive net (loss) income per share	226.0			232.4		229.6
Basic net (loss) income per share	$	(1.46	)	$	0.36	$	1.02
Diluted net (loss) income per share	$	(1.46	)	$	0.35	$	1.00

____________________ 

(1) Dilutive securities of 4.7 million shares for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share as those shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during this period.

The computation of diluted net (loss) income per share does not include shares that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method because their exercise prices are higher than the average market value of Autodesk’s stock during the fiscal year. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, 0.1 million, 0.1 million, and 5.4 million potentially anti-dilutive shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of net (loss) income per share.
