Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
We present basic and diluted earnings or losses per share (“EPS”) for our Class A and Class B common stock. Basic EPS for our Class A and Class B common stock excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to EchoStar Corporation common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if shares of common stock were issued pursuant to our stock-based compensation awards. The potential dilution from common stock awards is computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of our Class A common stock during the period. The calculation of our diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding excluded options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock, the effect of which would be anti-dilutive, of 4.8 million and 4.9 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:
