In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 29, 2025, the assumed exercise of 0.1 million options and 0.1 million awards subject to performance conditions, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations, which resulted in the presentation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share to be equal to basic earnings (loss) per common share, as any increase to the basic shares would be antidilutive. A total of 5.0 million shares outstanding were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for three months ended March 30, 2024, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive; these shares included 4.1 million share-based awards and 0.9 million shares related to the 1.75% senior convertible notes issued to Silver Lake Partners ("Silver Lake Convertible Debt").

Accounts Payable
The Company utilizes a supplier finance program which provides our suppliers the ability to accelerate payment on the Company's invoices beyond the stated payment terms. Under the terms of this program, the Company agrees to pay an intermediary the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the stated maturity dates of the invoices, and the supplier is able to negotiate earlier payment terms with the intermediary. The Company or the intermediary may terminate their agreement at any time upon 60 days' notice. The Company does not provide any forms of guarantees under this arrangement. Supplier participation in the program is solely at the supplier's discretion, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the intermediary. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The stated invoice payment terms range from 75 to 120 days from the invoice date and are considered commercially reasonable.
The Company's outstanding amounts related to the suppliers participating in this program was $27 million and $38 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
