Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the Company’s Net earnings by the basic Weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods presented. The Company calculates diluted EPS using the treasury stock method, which reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented date are exercised and restricted stock unit awards have vested.
The computation of diluted EPS excluded options of less than 0.1 million to purchase Broadridge common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2016, and options of less than 0.1 million options to purchase Broadridge common stock for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted EPS did not include 0.1 million options to purchase Broadridge common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2015, and 0.5 million options to purchase Broadridge common stock for the six months ended December 31, 2015, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
