Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.
Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based and other restricted stock units. Approximately 2 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per common share for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as they were anti-dilutive.
