NOTE 10—LOSS PER SHARE

The Company computes loss per share using the two-class method, as unvested restricted common stock and unvested restricted stock units contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and meet the criteria of participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated between common stock and participating securities. The presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share is required only for each class of common stock and not for participating securities. As such, the Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its one class of common stock.

The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period. The Company’s reported net earnings (loss) are reduced by the amount allocated to participating securities to arrive at the earnings allocated to common stockholders for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Real Industry, Inc., less dividends and accretion on the fair value adjustment to Redeemable Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of unvested restricted common stock, common stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and the Warrants (as defined below in Note 11—Derivative and Other Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements), determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

Unvested restricted common stock, common stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and the Warrants are antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the assumed proceeds upon exercise or vesting are greater than the cost to reacquire the same number of shares at the average market price during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the impact of all outstanding unvested shares of restricted common stock, common stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and the Warrants are excluded from diluted loss per share as their impact would be antidilutive.
