Earnings Per Share
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to NCR by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding includes the dilution from potential shares added from unvested restricted stock awards and stock options. The holders of unvested restricted stock awards do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and therefore, such unvested awards do not qualify as participating securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to the net loss attributable to NCR common stockholders, potential common shares that would cause dilution, such as restricted stock awards and stock options, have been excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the fully diluted shares would have been 172.0 million shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no anti-dilutive options.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
