(20) Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2015		2014		2013
Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	91,570	$	50,892	$	31,085


Shares of common stock and common stock equivalents:
Weighted average shares—basic		33,907		35,349		36,788
Effect of dilutive securities		908		1,016		1,326

Weighted average shares—diluted		34,815		36,365		38,114


Earnings per share:
Basic	$	2.70	$	1.44	$	0.84


Diluted	$	2.63	$	1.40	$	0.82

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately 0.1 million and 0.4 million share equivalents (based on the treasury stock method), respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
