LOSS PER SHARE

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes all dilutive securities because their impact would be anti-dilutive, as described below.

Basic and diluted loss per share are calculated as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2021		2020		2021		2020

Net loss attributable to Altisource	$	(18,269)	$	(13,237)	$	(58,746)	$	(59,948)

Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	15,831		15,637		15,816		15,578


Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted	15,831		15,637		15,816		15,578

Diluted	$	(1.15)	$	(0.85)	$	(3.71)	$	(3.85)
