Earnings Per Share
The following table provides a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted-average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:
 
2016
 
2015
 
2014
 
(in thousands)
Weighted-average shares - basic
78,669

 
83,980

 
84,144

Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock
380

 
611

 
410

Weighted-average shares - diluted
79,049

 
84,591

 
84,554


Equity awards representing 3.7 million, 2.4 million, and 4.2 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive.
Additionally, for 2016, 0.7 million shares were 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 28, 2017.
