Note 9 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Our diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable for presently unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units and upon exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating earnings per basic and diluted share follows:

		Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
		July 1,	June 25,	July 1,	June 25,
		2017	2016	2017	2016
Basic		78,874	81,458	78,839	81,516
Effect of dilutive securities:
	Stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units	664	936	791	1,049
	Diluted	79,538	82,394	79,630	82,565
