Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company's unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The diluted earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury stock method, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The computation of the earnings per share under the two-class method excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.
The following reflects the Company's income (loss) from continuing operations and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations using the two-class method:
