Earnings Per Share Reconciliation [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information | Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings. Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities and the preferred redeemable noncontrolling interests redemption value adjustment associated with the PA Consulting transaction. The following table reconciles the denominator used to compute basic EPS to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS for the years ended October 1, 2021, October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019 (in thousands):

Share Repurchases On January 17, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s common stock, to expire on January 16, 2022 (the "2019 Repurchase Authorization"). On January 16, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock, to expire on January 15, 2023 (the "2020 Repurchase Authorization"). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 the Company launched an accelerated share repurchase program by advancing $250 million to a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2019 and 2020 Repurchase Authorizations during fiscal 2021:
Amount Authorized (2019 and 2020 Repurchase Authorizations) |  | Average Price Per Share (1) |  | Shares Repurchased |  | Total Shares Retired
$2,000,000,000 |  | $131.22 |  | 1,726,472 |  | 1,726,472
(1)Includes commissions paid and calculated at the average price per share As a precautionary measure in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended purchases under the share repurchase plan in March 2020, with such suspension remaining in effect through the fiscal third quarter of 2020. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company resumed share repurchases. As of October 1, 2021, the Company has no remaining amounts available under the 2019 Repurchase Authorization and $782.9 million remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization. Our share repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors. Common and Preferred Stock Jacobs is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock designated “common stock” and “preferred stock” (each has a par value of $1.00 per share). The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series. The number of shares to be included in a series as well as each series’ designation, relative powers, dividend and other preferences, rights and qualifications, redemption provisions and restrictions are to be fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time each series is issued. Except as may be provided by the Company’s Board of Directors in a preferred stock designation, or otherwise provided for by statute, the holders of shares of common stock have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring stockholder action. The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors from whatever assets are legally available for that purpose. Dividends On September 23, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share of the Company’s common stock which was paid on October 29, 2021, to shareholders of record on the close of business on October 15, 2021. Future dividend declarations are subject to review and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends paid through October 1, 2021 and the preceding fiscal year are as follows:
