18. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per common share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common stockholders for the period by weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as performance share units ("PSUs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), deferred stock units ("DSUs") and the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, certain of the RSUs and DSUs awarded under the 2017 Plan were determined to be dilutive and were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share under the treasury stock method. Under this method, common equivalent shares are calculated assuming that outstanding RSUs and DSUs vest according to the respective RSU and DSU agreements and unrecognized compensation cost is used to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the average market price during the reported period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the RSUs and DSUs awarded under the 2017 Plan were determined to be anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the PSUs awarded under the 2017 Plan were determined to be anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the PSUs and RSUs awarded under the 2017 Plan were determined to be anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the periods indicated (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):
