(in thousands)
Weighted-average shares - basic
84,144

 
84,466

 
86,852

Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock
410

 
602

 
354

Weighted-average shares - diluted
84,554

 
85,068

 
87,206








Equity awards representing 4.2 million, 2.0 million, and 3.1 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, as the effects of the awards would have been anti-dilutive.

Additionally, for 2014, there were 0.5 million shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares because the number of shares that will ultimately be issued is contingent on the Company's performance compared to pre-established performance goals which have not been achieved as of January 31, 2015.
