Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of potential common shares, determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted EPS calculation, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are considered to be potential common shares. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to potential common shares as they are anti-dilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of diluted EPS until they are contingently issuable.
