Net earnings attributable to Starbucks	$	512.6	$	417.8	$	1,480.3	$	1,240.3
Weighted average common shares outstanding (for basic calculation)	751.8		749.7		753.9		748.3
Dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and RSUs	9.2		12.2		10.0		13.2
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding (for diluted calculation)	761.0		761.9		763.9		761.5
EPS — basic	$	0.68	$	0.56	$	1.96	$	1.66
EPS — diluted	$	0.67	$	0.55	$	1.94	$	1.63

Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) and unvested RSUs, calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Out-of-the-money stock options totaled approximately 2.9 million and 0.1 million as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
