Reconciliation of Weighted Average Shares Outstanding and Share Repurchases | Note 7 — Reconciliation of Weighted Average Shares Outstanding and Share Repurchases A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of earnings per share follows:
| Three Months Ended January 31, |  | Nine Months Ended January 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Weighted average shares outstanding |  | 57,200 |  |  | 57,170 |  |  | 57,383 |  |  | 57,123

Shares used for basic earnings per share |  | 57,158 |  |  | 57,035 |  |  | 57,330 |  |  | 56,979
Dilutive effect of stock options and other stock awards |  | 468 |  |  | 836 |  |  | 552 |  |  | 757
Shares used for diluted earnings per share |  | 57,626 |  |  | 57,871 |  |  | 57,882 |  |  | 57,736
Since their inclusion in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been anti-dilutive, options to purchase 154,385 shares of Class A Common Stock have been excluded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019, respectively and 255,187 shares of Class A Common Stock have been excluded for the nine months ended January 31, 2018. There were no options excluded for the three months ended January 31, 2018. Warrants to purchase 470,000 and 158,148 shares of Class A Common Stock have not been included for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019, respectively. There were no warrants issued during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2018. There were no restricted shares excluded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019. There were no restricted shares excluded for the three months ended January 31, 2018 and there were 26,740 restricted shares excluded for the nine months ended January 31, 2018, respectively. Share Repurchases and Dividends During the three months ended January 31, 2019, we repurchased 208,711 shares of Class A Common stock at an average price of $47.91. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock.

The following table summarizes the cash dividends paid during the nine months ended January 31, 2019:
