Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

Below is a reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013	2012
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per share	66,355	65,567
Dilutive common stock options and restricted stock awards	771	—
Weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share	67,126	65,567

Options to purchase approximately 16,000 and 96,000 shares of common stock and 0 and 2,840,000 shares of restricted stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. All outstanding stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as a result of the net loss for that period.
