| Earnings Per Common Share |
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s share-based compensation plans and shares subject to written put options, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of an award, if any, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, if any, and the estimated tax benefits that would be recorded in paid-in capital when an award is settled, if any, are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The incremental dilutive common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 were 37,927,000 and 40,132,000, respectively. The incremental dilutive common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three and nine months ended June 24, 2012 were 42,531,000 and 41,228,000, respectively.
Employee stock options to purchase approximately 328,000 and 433,000 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and employee stock options to purchase approximately 597,000 and 1,858,000 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended June 24, 2012, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. At June 24, 2012, one put option remained outstanding, which gave the holder the right to sell 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company. No put options were outstanding during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, other common stock equivalents of 392,000 and 156,000 shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 5,892,000 and 2,433,000 shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended June 24, 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
