Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares for the period. Potential common shares include the weighted-average dilutive effects of stock-based awards and shares underlying our Convertible Senior Notes (the "Convertible Notes").

For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our Convertible Notes, described in Note 15, "Long-Term Debt", had a dilution impact on the dilutive potential common shares, which was calculated using the if-converted method. The dilution impact was due to the price of our common stock exceeding the conversion price. For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Convertible Notes had no impact on the calculation of dilutive potential common shares, as the price of our common stock did not exceed the conversion price. The related capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") for both periods were excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares as their effect is anti-dilutive. For the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, no options were excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares.

The following table presents the number of weighted-average shares used to compute basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):
