LOSS PER SHARE

The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net loss. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands' End common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with the ASC. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculations consist of nonvested equity shares of common stock and in-the-money outstanding stock options, if any, to purchase the Company’s common stock.

The following table summarizes the components of basic and diluted EPS:
