7. Per Share Data and Stockholders’ Equity
The calculation of diluted earnings per share considers the potential dilutive effect of options and shares under Sonic’s stock compensation plans. Certain of Sonic’s non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and, as a result, are considered participating securities and are included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The following table illustrates the dilutive effect of such items on earnings per share for the third quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

In addition to the stock options included in the table above, options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares and 0.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were not dilutive.
