Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows for the three months ended March 31:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 0.3 million options in each period were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS are 0.8 million options, restricted share units and restricted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 0.6 million options for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which begin to vest upon the achievement of certain market criteria related to our common stock price, performance criteria and an annualized rate of return to shareholders that have not yet been met. Furthermore, as a result of the net loss attributable to Altisource for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 0.3 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of total options, restricted share units and restricted shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, as their impact was anti-dilutive.
