EARNINGS PER SHARE | NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the Company’s Net earnings by the basic Weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented date are exercisable and shares of restricted stock have vested. As of June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the computation of diluted EPS did not include 2.6 million, 2.4 million and 4.4 million options to purchase Broadridge common stock, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations:
