and first nine months of $63,265 and $202,048, respectively, compared
with $60,630 and $193,864 for the prior year.
(2) The average number of common shares outstanding for diluted earnings
per share is higher than for basic earnings per share due to the
assumed conversion of the Company's outstanding convertible senior
debentures, outstanding stock options, deferred contingent common
stock awards, restricted stock awards and convertible preferred stock
into common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. For
purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, interest expense,
net of capitalized interest and taxes related to the Company's
outstanding convertible senior debentures is added back to reported
net income, and the additional common shares (assuming conversion) are
included in total shares outstanding. Interest expense, net of
capitalized interest and taxes was $7,838 and $23,617 for the 2007
third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared with
$8,100 and $21,841 for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months,
respectively.
