Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Amounts in thousands (except per share data)

March 31, 2004

 

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the results of operations and cash flows for the applicable periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

2. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by average common shares outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable shares. Net income per diluted share includes the dilutive effect resulting from outstanding stock options and stock awards.

 

Per share amounts are computed as follows:

 

     Three Month Period
Ended March 31


     2004

   2003

Numerator:

             

Net income

   $ 37,525    $ 26,023
    

  

Denominator:

             

Weighted average common shares outstanding

     51,799      51,643

Dilutive effect of stock options and awards

     188      89
    

  

Denominator for net income per share, diluted

     51,987      51,732
    

  

Net income per share

   $ 0.72    $ 0.50
    

  

Net income per share, diluted

   $ 0.72    $ 0.50
    

  

 

Weighted average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options which were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because they were antidilutive were 1.9 million in 2004 and 4.0 million in 2003.

 

3. The company has elected the intrinsic value method to account for employee stock options. The following table shows the pro forma effect on net income per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.
