Stock options excluded from the first quarter 2018 and 2017 calculations of diluted earnings per share were 407,573 and 1,008,667, respectively, because the market value of option exercises for these awards were less than the cash proceeds that would be received from these exercises. First quarter 2018 and 2017 reflect the impact of share repurchases of 994,235 and 943,699, respectively.

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.56 and $0.51 per share in first quarter 2018 and 2017, respectively.
