In first quarter 2017 and 2016, options to purchase 1,008,667 and 1,081,423 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the shares treated as outstanding for computation of diluted earnings per share because the total market value of option exercises for these awards was less than the total cash proceeds that would be received for these exercises. First quarter 2017 and 2016 reflect the impact of share repurchases of 943,699 and 287,281, respectively.

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.51 and $0.46 per share in first quarter 2017 and 2016, respectively.
