Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share for each period presented have been computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Gentiva shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each respective period. The computations of the basic and diluted per share amounts were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, approximately 3.1 million and 4.0 million, respectively, of stock options, performance share units and restricted stock awards were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
