| Anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation | 936 | | | 768 | | | 606 | |
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using its weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method and the outstanding convertible senior notes as determined under the net share settlement method. From the time of the issuance of the convertible senior notes, the average market price of the Company’s common shares has been less than the applicable initial conversion price, and consequently no shares have been included in diluted earnings per share for the conversion values of both the convertible senior notes.
