Options, restricted stock units and warrants included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 0.6 million and 1.5 million, respectively, and 0.7 million and 1.6 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of outstanding options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.
