Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 excluded the effect of 0.9 million shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options, because such effect would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Antidilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were 0.9 and 0.1 million, respectively.
