Equity | Equity Earnings per share The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net income $ 107.5 $ 137.8 $ 215.3 $ 238.2 Weighted average common shares outstanding 36.6 40.9 36.9 41.4 Incremental shares from restricted stock units and stock options 0.4 0.3 0.4 0.4 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 37.0 41.2 37.3 41.8 Basic earnings per share $ 2.94 $ 3.37 $ 5.84 $ 5.75 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.91 $ 3.34 $ 5.78 $ 5.70 We had approximately 36.4 million and 39.7 million common shares outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. No shares from options to purchase common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . Share based compensation We have share based compensation plans covering our employees and non-employee directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we granted approximately 0.3 million restricted stock units (“RSU’s”), of which approximately 0.2 million are performance stock units. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we had 0.1 million RSU’s vest as the result of the completion of the service requirements or achievement of the service and performance features of the awards, as applicable. At June 30, 2015 , we had 0.9 million unvested RSU’s and 0.5 million stock options outstanding. We recognized share based compensation expense of $7.5 million and $14.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, as compared to $6.0 million and $10.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. At June 30, 2015 , we had $51.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our share based compensation arrangements, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate that compensation expense recognition attributable to currently outstanding stock option and restricted stock unit grants will be approximately $15.6 million for the remainder of 2015, $16.8 million for 2016, $6.3 million for 2017 and $1.1 million for 2018. Future expense recognition is not projected on approximately $12.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense as the related awards are not currently expected to achieve their required performance features and therefore not expected to vest. Other comprehensive income (loss) Accumulated other comprehensive income balances consist of the following (in millions), net of tax: Unrealized Gain on Available-for-Sale Securities Unrealized Loss on Cash Flow Hedges Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Balance, December 31, 2014 $ 207.2 $ (0.3 ) $ (20.0 ) $ 186.9 Net current period other comprehensive income (loss) (103.5 ) 0.2 (4.4 ) (107.7 ) Balance, June 30, 2015 $ 103.7 $ (0.1 ) $ (24.4 ) $ 79.2 Additions to and reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to the Company: Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Pretax Net of Tax Pretax Net of Tax Available-for-sale securities Unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities $ 11.8 $ 8.4 $ (12.0 ) $ (7.3 ) Reclassification of gains into net earnings on available-for-sale securities (1) (86.9 ) (54.5 ) (1.9 ) (1.2 ) Net change in available-for-sale securities (75.1 ) (46.1 ) (13.9 ) (8.5 ) Cash flow hedges Unrealized gains on cash flow hedges (0.1 ) — 0.3 0.2 Reclassification of losses into net earnings on foreign currency cash flow hedges (2) 0.1 0.1 — — Net change in cash flow hedges — 0.1 0.3 0.2 Cumulative translation adjustments 5.9 5.9 1.7 1.7 Total other comprehensive loss $ (69.2 ) $ (40.1 ) $ (11.9 ) $ (6.6 ) Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Pretax Net of Tax Pretax Net of Tax Available-for-sale securities Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities $ (6.4 ) $ (3.8 ) $ (33.0 ) $ (20.7 ) Reclassification of gains into net earnings on available-for-sale securities (1) (160.9 ) (99.7 ) (47.9 ) (29.2 ) Net change in available-for-sale securities (167.3 ) (103.5 ) (80.9 ) (49.9 ) Cash flow hedges Unrealized gains on cash flow hedges — — 0.3 0.2 Reclassification of losses into net earnings on foreign currency cash flow hedges (2) 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 Net change in cash flow hedges 0.2 0.2 0.5 0.4 Cumulative translation adjustments (4.4 ) (4.4 ) 2.1 2.1 Total other comprehensive loss $ (171.5 ) $ (107.7 ) $ (78.3 ) $ (47.4 ) _______________________________________________________________ (1) Realized (gains)/losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in Other income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. (2) Reclassification to net earnings of derivatives qualifying as effective foreign currency cash flow hedges are recognized in Costs and expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. One of our unconsolidated affiliates had an interest rate swap liability with a fair market value of $45.4 million and $50.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The unconsolidated affiliate used inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable relating to the measurement of the interest rate swap. Our 50% proportionate share of this interest rate swap liability was $22.7 million and $25.1 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. We record our proportionate share of this liability in an amount not to exceed the carrying value of our investment in this unconsolidated affiliate. Because the carrying value of this unconsolidated affiliate investment balance was zero at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , no change in the interest rate swap liability was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock repurchases During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of DST common stock for $150.0 million under our share repurchase plans. Additionally, during July 2015, we spent $75.0 million to repurchase 0.6 million shares. On July 29, 2015 our Board of Directors authorized an additional $250.0 million of share repurchases which is incremental to the existing plan. As of July 31, 2015, there was approximately $325.0 million remaining under the amended share repurchase plan. Shares received in exchange for satisfaction of the option exercise price and for tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s stock or from the vesting of restricted stock shares are included in common stock repurchased in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The amount of such share receipts and withholdings for option exercises and restricted stock vesting was $4.7 million and $5.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Dividends Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share during the first and second quarter of 2015. Total dividends paid for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $22.1 million , of which $11.0 million were paid in June 2015 and $11.1 million were paid in March 2015. On July 29, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable September 11, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 28, 2015. |
