Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share attributable to PSS World Medical, Inc. is computed by dividing Net income attributable to PSS World Medical, Inc. by the weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to PSS World Medical, Inc. is computed by dividing Net income attributable to PSS World Medical, Inc. by the weighted average number of the Company's common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and the potential dilutive effect of outstanding convertible senior notes. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following table sets forth computational data for the denominator in the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculation for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011:

  • There were no anti-dilutive options outstanding as of December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011.

The Company included shares underlying its 2008 Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2012. Under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution, shares that would be issuable upon conversion were included, based upon the amount by which the average stock price for the period exceeded the conversion price of $21.22.

If the average price of the Company's common stock exceeds $28.29 per share, additional potential shares that may be issued related to outstanding warrants, using the treasury stock method, will also be included. Prior to conversion, certain outstanding purchased options are not considered for purposes of the dilutive earnings per share calculation as their effect is considered to be anti-dilutive.
