EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

9 Months Ended

Sep. 24, 2023

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute earnings per common share were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 24, 2023	September 25, 2022	September 24, 2023	September 25, 2022
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic computations	249.3	264.1	252.2	266.0
Weighted average dilutive effect of equity awards	0.9	1.0	0.9	0.9
Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted computations	250.2	265.1	253.1	266.9

We compute basic and diluted earnings per common share by dividing net earnings by the respective weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share also includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) based on the treasury stock method. There were no significant anti-dilutive equity awards during the quarters and nine months ended September 24, 2023 and September 25, 2022. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 due to share repurchases. See “Note 9 - Stockholders’ Equity” for more information.
