Earnings Per Share
Note 15. Earnings per Share
Weighted-average number of shares used for earnings per share is as follows:
 
 
Fiscal Year
(shares in millions)
 
2014
 
2013
 
2012
Weighted-average number of shares—basic
 
435

 
461

 
482

Common stock equivalents
 
5

 
6

 
6

Weighted-average number of shares—diluted
 
440

 
467

 
488


The above computations of weighted-average number of shares—diluted exclude 2 million shares related to stock options and other stock awards for both fiscal 2014 and 2013 as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. There were no material shares with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share for fiscal 2012.
