Earnings Per Share and Dividends [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share and Dividends | 2. Earnings Per Share and Dividends a. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. To the extent these securities are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three months and six months ended February 28, 2017, 3,130 and 499,243 stock appreciation rights, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months and six months ended February 29, 2016, 2,157,753 and 1,823,162 stock appreciation rights, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been ant i-dilutive. b.
