Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Note 2—Earnings Per Share (EPS):

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards.

A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS was:

Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding		46.0		46.5		45.9		47.4
Dilutive common share equivalents - stock options and other stock-based awards		1.4		1.7		1.6		1.4
Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding		47.4		48.2		47.5		48.8

The following stock-based awards were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS:
