Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Cintas uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of outstanding participating securities in the form of restricted stock awards. See Note 12 entitled Stock-Based Compensation for additional information on restricted stock awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations using the two-class method for amounts attributable to Cintas' common shares for the fiscal years ended May 31:

Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations were calculated using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations rounded to $0.00, $0.02 and $0.54 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations rounded to $0.00, $0.02 and $0.53 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, options granted to purchase 0.2 million, 0.5 million and 0.8 million shares of Cintas common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares (anti-dilutive). On August 2, 2016, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $500.0 million share buyback program. This program was completed in November 2018. On October 30, 2018, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share buyback program, which does not have an expiration date. On October 29, 2019, we announced the Board of Directors authorized a new $1.0 billion share buyback program, which does not have an expiration date. The following table summarizes the buyback activity by program and fiscal year ended May 31:
