Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share Earnings per Share
In the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, we adopted ASU 2020-06. Prior to adoption, we utilized the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive impact of our Convertible Notes. Upon adoption, we prospectively utilized the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive impact of our Convertible Notes. Under the if-converted method, the Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting shares are included in the denominator of the calculation. In addition, interest charges, net of any income tax effects are added back to the numerator of the calculation.


Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

(1)    Earnings per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and therefore may not recalculate using the rounded numbers provided.

For all periods presented, the dilutive effect of stock compensation awards was determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, shares associated with certain anti-dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding or anti-dilution.
