The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were 14.5 million, 9.7 million and 3.5 million anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation, respectively.
