(3) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share available to Virtusa common stockholders (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income, less any dividends and accretion of issuance cost on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In computing diluted EPS, the Company adjusts the numerator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to add back the dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared) applicable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such add-back would also include any adjustments to equity in the period to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its redemption price. The Company adjusts the denominator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to include the dilution from potential shares resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock and stock options along with the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods set forth below:

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units issuable for, and options to purchase, 83,451, 13,336 and 918,305 shares of common stock in the aggregate for such fiscal years, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.
