| Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information |
Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings. Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities and the redeemable noncontrolling interests redemption value adjustment associated with the PA Consulting investment. In connection with the PA Consulting Transaction, the Company issued 2,043,537 shares of Company Common Stock. See Note 15- PA Consulting Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for more discussion on the transaction.
