Earnings Per Share Reconciliation [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 period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Company's stock incentive plan and shares issuable on redemption of its Convertible Notes.

10. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

For the three months ended March 28, 2014, and March 29, 2013, respectively, 442,219 and 445,471 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period.

In November 2010, the Company issued Convertible Notes due on November 15, 2017, in the aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million. The Convertible Notes will mature on November 15, 2017, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased by the Company or converted. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes require net share settlement, where the aggregate principal amount of the notes will be paid in cash and remaining amounts due, if any, will be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

For the three-month periods ended March 28, 2014, and March 29, 2013, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes that were dilutive during the period were included in the calculation of earnings per share as the conversion price for the Convertible Notes was less than the average share price of the Company's stock.

For the three months ended March 28, 2014, and March 29, 2013, respectively, 3,409,074 and 3,401,757, shares issuable under the warrants sold in connection with the Company’s convertible note offering were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.
