Note 6—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 issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.  A reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders	$	182,207	$	160,798	$	515,622	$	467,793
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	313,284,242		317,331,040		314,183,699		318,731,280
Effect of dilutive stock options	7,352,163		6,254,532		7,334,337		6,222,788
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	320,636,405		323,585,572		321,518,036		324,954,068
Earnings per share attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders:
Basic	$	0.58	$	0.51	$	1.64	$	1.47
Diluted	$	0.57	$	0.50	$	1.60	$	1.44

Excluded from the computations above were anti-dilutive stock options of 6,169,900 and 5,525,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 4,695,200 and 3,218,984 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
