EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Net income per share of class A common stock and class B common stock is computed using the two-class method. Earnings per share under the two-class method treats unvested share-based payment awards with non-forfeitable rights to dividends as a separate class of securities. The Company’s unvested restricted stock grants are considered participating securities because the shares have the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security by allocating earnings according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings.
 
Basic net income per share is computed by allocating undistributed earnings to common shares and using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, the potential common shares outstanding during the period, utilizing the two-class method for unvested restricted stock. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
 
The liquidation rights and the rights upon the consummation of an extraordinary transaction are the same for the holders of class A common stock and class B common stock. Other than share distributions and liquidation rights, the amount of any dividend or other distribution payable on each share of class A common stock will be equal to one-sixth (1/6
th
) of the amount of any such dividend or other distribution payable on each share of class B common stock. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the class A and class B common stock as if the earnings for the year had been distributed.
 
The Company excluded 477,427 and 228,036 shares of class A common stock options for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 44,202 and 2,062 shares of class B common stock options for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from the diluted net income per share computation because the exercise or grant price exceeded the fair market value of the common stock on such date.
