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:
 
2017
 
2016
 
2015
 
(in thousands)
Weighted-average shares - basic
78,592

 
78,669

 
83,980

Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock
278

 
380

 
611

Weighted-average shares - diluted
78,870

 
79,049

 
84,591


Equity awards representing 3.8 million, 3.7 million, and 2.4 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive.
Additionally, for 2017, 0.6 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 February 3, 2018.
