| EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of stock awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company's stockholders (in thousands, except per share data): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended | | April 3, 2026 | | March 28, 2025 | | April 3, 2026 | | March 28, 2025 | | Earnings: | | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders | $ | 101,950 | | | $ | 61,854 | | | $ | 198,111 | | | $ | 167,473 | | | Shares: | | | | | | | | Basic weighted-average shares outstanding | 263,160 | | | 264,811 | | | 263,144 | | | 264,846 | | | Effect of dilutive securities | 3,230 | | | 2,609 | | | 3,238 | | | 3,230 | | Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding | 266,390 | | | 267,420 | | | 266,382 | | | 268,076 | | | | | | | | | | | Basic Earnings Per Share: | | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders | $ | 0.39 | | | $ | 0.23 | | | $ | 0.75 | | | $ | 0.63 | | | Diluted Earnings Per Share: | | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders | $ | 0.38 | | | $ | 0.23 | | | $ | 0.74 | | | $ | 0.62 | |
The following table represents shares that were outstanding but were not included in the diluted earnings per common share (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended | | April 3, 2026 | | March 28, 2025 | | April 3, 2026 | | March 28, 2025 | Share-based awards(1) | 6.3 | | | 8.0 | | | 7.0 | | | 7.3 | | Performance stock units(2) | 1.5 | | | 1.6 | | | 1.5 | | | 1.6 | |
| | | | | | | (1) | Share-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. | | (2) | Performance stock units that did not meet or have not yet met performance targets were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. |
