Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Per Share Data and Stockholders' Equity
Per Share Data and Stockholders’ Equity
The calculation of diluted earnings per share considers the potential dilutive effect of stock options and shares under Sonic’s stock compensation plans and Class A Common Stock purchase warrants. Certain of Sonic’s non-vested restricted stock awards contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and, thus, are considered participating securities and are included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The following tables illustrate the dilutive effect of such items on earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

In addition to the stock options included in the tables above, options to purchase approximately 0.1 million shares of Sonic’s Class A common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2017, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the options were not dilutive.
