​ The Company had combined undistributed and distributed earnings to participating securities totaling $1 and $15 in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. ​ The Company had options outstanding for approximately 8 million and 11 million shares during the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, that 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 share.
