Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding consist of basic weighted average common shares outstanding plus weighted average awards outstanding under our equity compensation plans, which are dilutive securities.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024		September 24, 2023		September 29, 2024		September 24, 2023
Net income available to common stockholders	$	41,808	$	15,861	$	68,687	$	56,005
Basic weighted average number of shares	32,745		32,564		32,701		33,053
Dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards (a)	185		236		149		234
Diluted weighted average number of shares	32,930		32,800		32,850		33,287
Basic earnings per common share	$	1.28	$	0.49	$	2.10	$	1.69
Diluted earnings per common share	$	1.27	$	0.48	$	2.09	$	1.68
