COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE [Abstract]

Computation of Earnings Per Share

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each year. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, respectively, are 336,893 and 351,103 shares of equity awards granted to employees that are anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during those periods. Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, are 165,482 and 233,965 shares of equity awards granted to employees that are anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during those periods.

In November 2010, the Company issued Convertible Notes due on November 15, 2017, in the aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million. Shares issuable under the Convertible Notes were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2012 because the conversion price was greater than the average market price of our stock during those periods. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes that were dilutive during the period were included in the calculation of earnings per share as the exercise price for the Convertible Notes was less than the average share price. Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 are 3,397,902 and 3,395,861 shares, respectively, issuable under the warrants sold in connection with the Company’s convertible note offering as they would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are 3,386,739 shares issuable under the warrants sold in connection with the Company’s convertible note offering as they would be anti-dilutive.
