In both third quarter and first nine months 2018, options to purchase 619,706 shares of common stock were excluded from the shares treated as outstanding for computation of diluted EPS because the market value of option exercises for these awards were less than the cash proceeds that would be received from these exercises. Third quarter and first nine months 2018 reflect the impact of share repurchases of 1,263,868 and 3,673,642, respectively.

In third quarter and first nine months 2017, options to purchase 727,111 and 781,011 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the shares treated as outstanding for computation of diluted EPS because the market value of option exercises for these awards were less than the cash proceeds that would be received from these exercises. Third quarter and first nine months 2017 reflect the impact of share repurchases of 1,184,107 and 3,360,783, respectively.
