6 Months Ended

Mar. 28, 2020

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for income from continuing operations (in thousands except share and per share amounts).


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	March 28, 2020								March 28, 2020
	Income		Shares	Per Share		Income		Shares	Per Share
Basic EPS:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	42,704	54,281	$	0.79	$	38,287	54,517	$	0.70
Effect of dilutive securities (1):
Options to purchase common stock	—		343	(0.01)		—		368	(0.01)

Diluted EPS:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	42,704	54,952	$	0.78	$	38,287	55,220	$	0.69

(1) The potential effects of stock awards were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended December 28, 2019, because their inclusion in a net loss period would be anti-dilutive to the earnings per share calculation.


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	March 30, 2019								March 30, 2019
	Income		Shares	Per Share		Income		Shares	Per Share
Basic EPS:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	42,391	57,050	$	0.74	$	44,194	56,976	$	0.78
Effect of dilutive securities:

Options to purchase 3.4 million shares of common stock at prices ranging from $10.63 to $38.10 per share were outstanding at March 28, 2020, and options to purchase 2.8 million shares of common stock at prices ranging from $8.56 to $38.10 per share were outstanding at March 30, 2019.

For the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, 1.5 million and 1.8 million options outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect of including these options would be antidilutive.

For the six months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, 1.2 million and 1.8 million options outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect of including these options would be antidilutive.
