Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the average number of stock options that were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted earnings per share calculations were 18,039,961, 11,056,725 and 3,187,485, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the average number of restricted stock units that were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted earnings per share calculations were 9,529, 91 and 2,693, respectively.
