Jun. 30, 2019

Shareholders’ Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Polaris paid $6,537,000 to repurchase approximately 76,000 shares of its common stock. As of June 30, 2019, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 3,175,000 shares of Polaris stock. The repurchase of any or all such shares authorized for repurchase will be governed by applicable SEC rules and dependent on management’s assessment of market conditions. Polaris paid a regular cash dividend of $0.61 per share on June 17, 2019 to holders of record at the close of business on June 3, 2019.

Cash dividends declared and paid per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Cash dividends declared and paid per common share	$	0.61	$	0.60	$	1.22	$	1.20

Net income per share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”) and the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted income per share is computed under the treasury stock method and is calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain shares issued under the Omnibus Plan. A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2019	2018	2019	2018
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	61,089	62,913	61,025	62,982
Director Plan and deferred stock units	209	177	201	171
ESOP	121	82	126	85
Common shares outstanding—basic	61,419	63,172	61,352	63,238
Dilutive effect of Omnibus Plan	745	1,714	744	1,814
Common and potential common shares outstanding—diluted	62,164	64,886	62,096	65,052

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the number of options that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the option exercise price was greater than the market price, and therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive, was 4,045,000 and 4,069,000, respectively, compared to 1,812,000 and 1,677,000 for the same periods in 2018.

The table below provides data about the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the statements of income for cash flow derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):
