DIVIDENDS, SHARE REPURCHASES, EARNINGS PER SHARE AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Dividends

On July 31, 2014, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.32 per share of Common Stock, payable on September 15, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 29, 2014. See discussion of our dividends in Note 11 to our fiscal year 2014 Financial Statements. The declaration of future dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors and restrictions under applicable law and our debt instruments.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we spent $20.2 million to repurchase 270,598 shares of our Common Stock. Subsequently, from July 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014, we spent $3.8 million to repurchase 52,428 additional shares of our Common Stock. As of July 31, 2014, we had $31.7 million of repurchase authority remaining from $133.4 million that was authorized for share repurchases between November 5, 2013 and November 5, 2014. For additional information on our repurchases of Common Stock, see “Share Repurchases” in Note 11 to the fiscal year 2014 Financial Statements. The timing and method of any repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, is subject to our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, and other factors and restrictions under applicable law and our debt instruments, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share excludes options to purchase shares and restricted stock awards, which were outstanding during the period but were anti-dilutive, as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013
Options:
Outstanding	302,447		396,801
Weighted average exercise price	$	62.17	$	47.40
Restricted stock awards:
Outstanding	43,391		43,077
Weighted average price	$	74.46	$	62.65

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

⁽¹⁾

Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 excludes a number of potentially dilutive shares determined pursuant to a specified formula initially issuable upon the conversion of our 3% Convertible Senior Notes. The 3% Convertible Senior Notes will be convertible, under certain circumstances, using a net share settlement process, into a combination of cash and our Common Stock. As of June 30, 2014, the base conversion price of the notes was approximately $74.05, based on the base conversion rate of 13.5048 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including the payment of dividends). In general, upon conversion of a note, the holder will receive cash equal to the principal amount of the note and Common Stock to the extent of the note’s conversion value in excess of such principal amount. In addition, if at the time of conversion the applicable price of our Common Stock exceeds the base conversion price, holders will receive up to an additional 8.7781 shares of our Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, as determined pursuant to a specified formula. Such shares did not impact our calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 as our average stock price during these periods did not meet or exceed the conversion requirements.
