Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

The number of shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating the weighted average thereof reflects the actual number of HRG common stock outstanding, excluding unvested restricted stock.

The following were excluded from the calculation of “Diluted net loss per common share attributable to controlling interest” because the as-converted effect of the unvested restricted stock and stock units, stock options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive (share amounts in thousands):

	Fiscal
	2016	2015	2014
Preferred stock	—	—	37,990
Unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units	—	2,667	2,580
Stock options	—	1,334	1,330
Anti-dilutive warrants	1,200	1,800	3,000
