Shares underlying stock options excluded from third quarter and first nine months 2019 calculations of diluted EPS were 2,620,529 and 2,219,514, respectively, because the grant price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and the effect of including them in the calculation of diluted EPS would have been antidilutive. Third quarter and first nine months 2019 reflect the impact of repurchases of 1,032,623 and 4,282,409 shares, respectively.

Shares underlying stock options excluded from both third quarter and first nine months 2018 calculations of diluted EPS were 619,706 because the grant price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and the effect of including them in the calculation of diluted EPS would have been antidilutive. Third quarter and first nine months 2018 reflect the impact of repurchases of 1,263,868 and 3,673,642 shares, respectively.

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.62 and $0.56 per share in third quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.86 and $1.68 per share in first nine months 2019 and 2018, respectively.
