EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Earnings per Share- Basic earnings per share is based on net income and a simple weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common shares adjusted for outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented:



	Three months ended		Six months ended
	July 30, 2016	August 1, 2015	July 30, 2016	August 1, 2015

	(in thousands)
Weighted average shares outstanding	82,053	88,713	82,003	88,619
Assumed exercise of dilutive stock options	392	756	442	807
Assumed exercise of dilutive RSUs and PSUs	210	224	246	234
Number of shares for computation of diluted earnings per share	82,655	89,693	82,691	89,660

Options, RSUs and PSUs- The number of potential common shares that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive was approximately 3.6 million and 2.0 million for the three months ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively, and 3.3 million and 1.5 million for the six months ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively.
