Share Repurchase Program [Abstract]
Share Repurchase Program	3.Share Repurchase Program In August 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the Company’s share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to purchase up to $40 million of its outstanding shares of common stock and, in January 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an incremental $40 million authorization that allows for up to $80 million of common stock to be repurchased through August 31, 2014. Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or otherwise, including through an accelerated share repurchase program, under terms of a Rule 10b5-1 plan, in privately negotiated transactions or in round lot or block transactions. The share repurchase program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. In February 2014, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to purchase $40 million of the Company’s common stock. In exchange for a $40 million up-front payment, the financial institution delivered approximately 2.1 million shares. During March 2014, the ASR purchase period concluded with no additional shares delivered, resulting in an average price per share of $19.13. The Company reflected the ASR transaction as a repurchase of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as a forward contract indexed to its own common stock. The forward contract met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification. Including repurchases under the ASR transaction described above, during the first nine months of fiscal year 2014, approximately 3.6 million shares were repurchased for a total cost of $69.4 million, resulting in an average price per share of $19.32. The total remaining amount authorized under the share repurchase program, as of May 31, 2014, was $10.6 million.
