Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income per Share The consolidated statements of income present basic and diluted net income per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based upon net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive effects of AMC Networks stock options (including those held by directors and employees of related parties of the Company) and AMC Networks restricted shares/units (including those held by employees of related parties of the Company). The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 71,650,000 |  |  | 70,506,000 |  |  | 71,504,000 |  |  | 70,286,000 |
Effect of dilution: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Stock options | 263,000 |  |  | 821,000 |  |  | 297,000 |  |  | 847,000 |
Restricted shares/units | 842,000 |  |  | 938,000 |  |  | 859,000 |  |  | 1,061,000 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 72,755,000 |  |  | 72,265,000 |  |  | 72,660,000 |  |  | 72,194,000 |
Approximately 80,000 restricted shares/units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and approximately 231,000 restricted shares/units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding since the performance criteria on these awards had not yet been satisfied in each of the respective periods.
