Earnings (Loss) per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net income attributable to Penn National. As such, we used diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding when calculating diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Stock options, RSAs, convertible preferred shares and convertible debt that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future are included in the computation of diluted income per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a net loss attributable to Penn National. As such, because the dilution from potential common shares was antidilutive, we used basic weighted-average common shares outstanding, rather than diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding when calculating diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Stock options, RSAs, and convertible preferred shares that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share were as follows:


(in millions)			For the three months ended March 31, 2020
Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options			2.2
Assumed conversion of dilutive RSAs			0.3
Assumed conversion of convertible preferred shares			0.4

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 under the two-class method. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we did not utilize the two-class method due to incurring a net loss for the period.


	For the three months ended March 31,
(in millions)	2021		2020
Net income (loss) attributable to Penn National	$	91.0	$	(608.6)
Net income applicable to preferred stock	0.5		—
Net income (loss) applicable to common stock	$	90.5	$	(608.6)

The following table reconciles the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic EPS to the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:


	For the three months ended March 31,
(in millions)	2021	2020
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Basic	155.7	115.7
Assumed conversion of:
Dilutive stock options	2.6	—
Dilutive RSAs	0.4	—
Convertible debt	14.1	—
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted	172.8	115.7

In addition, 0.8 million shares from the assumed conversion of convertible preferred shares were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 because including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Options to purchase 0.2 million and 1.2 million shares were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:
