Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic EPS are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflect the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and equity awards. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

Net (loss) income attributable to DXC common shareholders:

Certain share based equity awards were excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS because inclusion of these awards would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The following table reflects awards excluded:

	Fiscal Years Ended

Stock Options	1,075,901	—	—

PSUs	289,972	25,086	96,029

        

⁽¹⁾ Due to the Company's net loss during fiscal 2020, stock options, RSUs and PSUs were excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
