11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents net income for the period common shares were outstanding, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the effect of dilutive securities such as outstanding stock options, SARs, stock units and warrants.

The following are the common share amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per share for each period:

 

     For the Three Months
Ended June 30,		      For the Six Months
Ended June 30,		  
     2013      2012      2013      2012  
     (in thousands)  

Weighted average shares used in basic computations

      102,993         116,557         103,551         116,376   

Dilutive effect of exercise of equity grants outstanding

Weighted average shares used in diluted computations

There were an aggregate of 4.1 million of equity grants that were outstanding during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and an aggregate of 2.6 million of equity grants that were outstanding during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, consisting of stock options, SARs, and stock units, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
