DIVIDENDS, SHARE REPURCHASES, EARNINGS PER SHARE AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Dividends

On November 5, 2015, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.34 per share of Common Stock, payable on December 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on December 1, 2015. See discussion of our dividends in Note 10 to our fiscal year 2015 Financial Statements. The declaration of future dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors and restrictions under applicable law and our debt instruments.

Share Repurchases

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, we spent $23.3 million and $43.4 million to repurchase 324,720 and 595,318 shares of our Common Stock. We did not repurchase any shares during the three and six months ended September 30, 2015. On November 5, 2015, our board of directors extended the date to repurchase shares of our Common Stock through November 4, 2016 with a remaining authorized repurchase amount of $150.0 million. For additional information on our repurchases of Common Stock, see “Share Repurchases” in Note 10 to the fiscal year 2015 Financial Statements. The timing and method of any repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, is subject to our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, and other factors and restrictions under applicable law and our debt instruments, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share excludes options to purchase shares and restricted stock awards, which were outstanding during the period but were anti-dilutive, as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Options:
Outstanding	1,292,639		298,333		592,067		300,686
Weighted average exercise price	$	61.87	$	62.17	$	68.99	$	62.17

⁽¹⁾

Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 excluded a number of potentially dilutive shares determined pursuant to a specified formula initially issuable upon the conversion of our 3% Convertible Senior Notes. The 3% Convertible Senior Notes were convertible, under certain circumstances, using a net share settlement process, into a combination of cash and our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2015, we had repurchased the $115.0 million principal amount of our 3% Convertible Senior Notes. Prior to the purchase, upon conversion of a note, the holder would have received cash equal to the principal amount of the note and Common Stock to the extent of the note’s conversion value in excess of such principal amount. In addition, if at the time of conversion the applicable price of our Common Stock exceeded the base conversion price, holders would have received additional shares of our Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, as determined pursuant to a specified formula. Such shares did not impact our calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as our average stock price during these periods did not meet or exceed the conversion requirements.
