Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, expect per share data):

	Fiscal Year Ended
	November 30, 2012		November 30, 2011		November 30, 2010
Income from continuing operations	$	32,604	$	66,342	$	62,568
Weighted average shares outstanding	62,881		65,705		63,957
Dilutive impact from common stock equivalents	860		1,835		2,255
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	63,741		67,540		66,212
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.52	$	1.01	$	0.98
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.51	$	0.98	$	0.94

We excluded stock awards representing approximately 4,115,000 shares, 2,208,000 shares, and 3,870,000 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the fiscal years ended November 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because these awards were anti-dilutive.
