Earnings (Loss) Per Share

9 Months Ended

Oct. 31, 2020

The Company computes and reports both basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS reflects the total potential dilution that could occur from outstanding equity plan awards and unvested shares of both performance and non-performance based awards of restricted stock. For periods of net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same as the effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units is anti-dilutive.

For the three month period ended October 31, 2020, approximately 80,600 weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented. For the nine month period ended October 31, 2020, basic and diluted EPS were the same due to the Company's net loss. For the three and nine month periods ended November 2, 2019, approximately 11,800 and 19,100, respectively, weighted-average shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:
