Earnings per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Basic earnings per share for all periods presented equals net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of our shares outstanding during the period including participating securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of our shares outstanding during the period including participating securities and potentially dilutive shares. The following table presents our basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter and the first six months of 2019 and 2018:



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(Shares in millions)	2019	2018	2019	2018
Basic and Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	1,004	997	1,003	995

Our basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the periods presented are equivalent due to the net loss attributable to shareholders. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter and the first six months of 2019 and 2018 exclude potential shares for stock options, restricted shares, performance units, exchangeable notes, warrant outstanding and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as we have net losses for those periods and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The following table discloses the number of anti-dilutive shares excluded for the second quarter and the first six months of 2019 and 2018:



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

Anti-dilutive potential shares due to net loss	211	250	231	250
