For the three months ended January 3, 2015, and December 28, 2013, stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SARs") for approximately 0.6 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' and stock-settled SARs' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company's stock repurchase programs impacted the number of shares outstanding for the three months ended January 3, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 28, 2013. Refer to Note 12, "Shareholders' Equity", for further information on the Company's stock repurchase programs.
