Our calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, performance share units, and exercises of outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method. The diluted earnings per share amounts exclude the effects of approximately 29,000 of stock awards for the quarter and six months June 30, 2016, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive equity awards for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015.
