Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (further discussed in Note 9 - Employee Benefit Plans) using the treasury stock method. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

	Year ended January 31,
	2014		2013		2012
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation	$	179,932	$	176,255	$	190,750
Weighted-average common shares - basic	38,020		38,871		43,749
Effect of dilutive securities:
Equity-based awards	208		309		578
Weighted-average common shares - diluted	38,228		39,180		44,327
Net income per share attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation
Basic	$	4.73	$	4.53	$	4.36
Diluted	$	4.71	$	4.50	$	4.30

At January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were 6,236, 9,456 and 16,382 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
