Earnings Per Share ("EPS") [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 if-converted and treasury stock methods, as applicable. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

	Year ended January 31, 2012						Year ended January 31, 2011						Year ended January 31, 2010
	Net income		Weighted average shares		Per share amount		Net income		Weighted average shares		Per share amount		Net income		Weighted average shares		Per share amount
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net income per common share-attributable to shareholders of Tech Data - basic	$	206,396		43,749	$	4.72	$	214,243		48,587	$	4.41	$	180,155		50,517	$	3.57
Effect of dilutive securities:
Equity-based awards		0		578				0		498				0		421
Net income per common share attributable to shareholders of Tech Data - diluted	$	206,396		44,327	$	4.66	$	214,243		49,085	$	4.36	$	180,155		50,938	$	3.54

At January 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were 16,382, 564,776 and 2,421,279 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The Company's $350.0 million convertible senior debentures issued in December 2006 were repaid during December 2011. The $350.0 million convertible senior debentures did not impact earnings per share at January 31, 2011 or 2010, as the conditions for the contingent conversion feature had not been met (see further discussion in Note 7—Debt).
