Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

3.            Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of restricted stock, if any, calculated using the treasury stock method. For unvested restricted stock, assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method would include unamortized compensation cost.

We are required to present earnings per share (“EPS”), utilizing the two-class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities. Net losses are not allocated to these participating securities as there are no contractual obligations that require participation in the Company’s losses.

Basic and diluted EPS share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows:

Anti-dilutive securities include restricted stock, which are excluded from the diluted income per share computation. Non-vested restricted stock awards of 82 thousand shares and 193 thousand shares were excluded from net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive as there was a net loss for the period.
