Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Calculation of Basic and Diluted Number of Weighted Average Outstanding Shares

The following table shows the calculation of both the basic and diluted number of weighted average outstanding shares for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023:

	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2022		December 31, 2023
	(in thousands, except share data)
Basic and diluted net income/(loss) available to common stockholders of Navigator Holdings Ltd	$	(30,964)	$	53,473	$	82,255
Basic weighted average number of shares	64,669,567		77,234,830		74,096,284
Effect of dilutive potential share options*:	—		323,664		511,165
Diluted weighted average number of shares	64,669,567		77,558,494		74,607,449

* Due to a loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, no incremental shares are included because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 33,176.
