Denominator — share:

The computation of diluted EPS excludes options to purchase approximately 11,000, 111,000, and 1,420,000 shares of common stock for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock in these fiscal years and their inclusion would be antidilutive.
