Earnings Per Share

9 Months Ended

Sep. 26, 2015

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee and director stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Our potential common stock is excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation and is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when doing so would not be anti-dilutive. In the first quarter of 2015, we granted performance-based stock options and restricted stock units. These performance-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015 there were approximately 1,199,397 and 797,844, respectively, additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based awards, which were excluded from the dilutive calculations. The effect of 412,895 and 414,395 additional shares were not included in the dilutive calculations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively.

A reconciliation of the number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) is presented below:
