Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share
EARNINGS PER SHARE

FCX’s basic net loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock was computed using the most dilutive of (a) the two-class method or (b) the treasury stock method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. FCX’s participating securities consist of vested restricted stock units (RSUs) for which the underlying common shares are not yet issued and entitle holders to non-forfeitable dividends.

A reconciliation of net loss and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net (loss) income per share follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX’s common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. Stock options for 46 million shares of common stock were excluded for second-quarter 2016, 47 million for the first six months of 2016 and 40 million for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015.
