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 outstanding, which relates to stock options.  A reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders	$	179.8	$	158.5
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	310,046,534		315,056,964
Effect of dilutive stock options	7,939,111		7,297,348
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	317,985,645		322,354,312
Earnings per share attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders:
Basic	$	0.58	$	0.50
Diluted	$	0.57	$	0.49

Excluded from the computations above were anti-dilutive stock options of 3,146,450 and 5,529,266 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
