Earnings Per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which excludes non-participating unvested restricted share awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, as calculated primarily under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as issued but unvested restricted shares. If the Company reports a loss, rather than income, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported a net loss, which resulted in the exclusion of approximately 1,173,000 weighted average common stock equivalents from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the related period.

The following table provides details underlying the Company’s earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated (in thousands):
