We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. We excluded the following antidilutive stock options and stock appreciation rights from our calculation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices for the applicable periods:
(a)for the 2015 first quarter, 0.2 million stock options and stock appreciation rights; and
(b)for the 2014 first quarter, 0.2 million stock options and stock appreciation rights.
