Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Reconciliation of Shares Used in Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share | The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:
|  | Year Ended August 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Weighted average basic common shares outstanding |  |  | 31,102 |  |  |  | 31,983 |  |  |  | 32,569 |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2024 1 |  |  | 345 |  |  |  | 824 |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2028 2 |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units 3 |  |  | 916 |  |  |  | 992 |  |  |  | 1,062 |
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding |  |  | 32,363 |  |  |  | 33,799 |  |  |  | 33,631 |
1 The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 was excluded for the year ended August 31, 2022 as they were considered anti-dilutive under the “if converted” method as further discussed below. These notes were retired on February 1, 2024. 2 The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2028 was excluded for the years ended August 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. As these notes require cash settlement for the principal, only a premium is potentially dilutive. 3 Restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position.
