Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the effects of stock options, restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. The accounting standard pertaining to earnings per share precludes the calculation of diluted earnings per share when a net loss is presented. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
	(In Thousands, Except for Per Share Data)
Net income attributable to XO Group Inc.	$	5,794	$	8,714	$	6,040
Total weighted-average basic shares	24,620		24,649		29,060
Dilutive securities:
Restricted stock	874		444		491
Employee stock purchase plan	6		9		10
Options	96		116		131
Total weighted-average diluted shares	25,596		25,218		29,692
Net income per share attributable to XO Group Inc. common stockholders:
Basic	$	0.24	$	0.35	$	0.21
Diluted	$	0.23	$	0.35	$	0.20

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes a weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock of 101,843, 41,397 and 184,300 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because to include them in the calculation would be antidilutive.
