Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive (i.e., their assumed conversion into common stock would increase rather than decrease earnings per share). The options excluded totaled 5 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  The options excluded totaled 3 million and 5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
