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 (“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 three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 (in thousands):

Share Repurchases
On January 16, 2020, 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 15, 2023 (the "2020 Repurchase Authorization"). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company initiated an accelerated share repurchase program by advancing $250 million to a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction, with final non-cash settlement on the program during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of 342,054 shares as depicted in the table below.
The following table summarizes the activity under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization through the first fiscal quarter of 2022:
Amount Authorized (2020 Repurchase Authorization) |  | Average Price Per Share (1) |  | Shares Repurchased |  | Total Shares Retired

(1)Includes commissions paid and calculated at the average price per share As of December 31, 2021, the Company has $782.9 million remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization.
Our share repurchase program does 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 Rule 10b5-1 plans 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.
