Net Income Per Share

12 Months Ended

Dec. 30, 2023

CRA calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method. CRA calculates diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or treasury stock method. The two-class method was more dilutive for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2021.

Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all the net earnings for the period had been distributed. CRA's participating securities consist of unvested share-based payment awards that contain a nonforfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders Net earnings allocable to these participating securities were not material for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2021.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):
