Net Income Per Share [Abstract] |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per ShareBasic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s nonvested restricted stock units do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are not considered participating securities that should be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):
