Treasury stock and the printing press are the same financially. Shares held in treasury aren't counted on the denominator when calculating EPS. You're right about the exercise price, I forgot about that. But of course that's cash-positive for the company, too. So on balance the conclusion remains the same: an option exercise adds cash to the company's coffers, lowers its taxes somewhat thus raising earnings, and lowers EPS for all quarters going forward.
