​ The Company had combined undistributed and distributed earnings to participating securities totaling $19, $34 and $17 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. ​ The Company had stock options outstanding for approximately 18.4 million, 10.1 million and 15.6 million shares, respectively, for the years ended February 1, 2020, February 2, 2019, and February 3, 2018, which were excluded from the computations of net earnings per diluted common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per diluted share.
