3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2022

The following table reconciles the shares used in the calculation of basic net income per share to those used for diluted net income per share:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2022		2021
Net income	$	173.8	$	151.2
Weighted average common shares outstanding	74.4		73.9
Dilutive effect of equity awards, based on the treasury stock method	1.6		1.9
Weighted average shares assuming dilution	76.0		75.8

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 0.0 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively, from stock-based compensation plans not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their impact was antidilutive.

In December 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for calendar-year 2022 authorizing the repurchase of up to 650,000 shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market as permitted under Exchange Act Rule 10b-18 or in privately-negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. This share repurchase program is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased 390,000 shares of our common stock under the program at a cost of $147.1 million, or an average price of $377.23 per share.
