Note 8—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding, which relates to stock options. A reconciliation of the basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding as of December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2013		2012		2011
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders	$	635,672	$	555,317	$	524,191
Basic average common shares outstanding	159,092,787		161,522,080		169,640,115
Effect of dilutive stock options	3,181,712		2,425,031		2,185,473
Dilutive average common shares outstanding	162,274,499		163,947,111		171,825,588
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	4.00	$	3.44	$	3.09
Diluted	$	3.92	$	3.39	$	3.05

Excluded from the computations above were anti-dilutive common shares of 1,875,509, 4,551,578 and 4,286,519 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
