NOTE 18. NET LOSS PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Numerator:
Loss from continuing operations	$	(12,612	)	$	(497,738	)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	(5,961		)	(7,751		)
Net loss	$	(18,573	)	$	(505,489	)
Denominator:
For basic per share data—weighted average shares	224,594			223,521
Dilutive effect of ordinary share equivalents	—			—
For diluted per share data—weighted average shares	224,594			223,521

Basic net loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and, if there is net income from continuing operations during the period, the dilutive impact of ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period.

The dilutive effect of ordinary share equivalents is measured using the treasury stock method. Stock options and awards that have been issued but for which a grant date has not yet been established, such as the performance share units discussed in Note 15. Shareholders' Deficit, are not considered in the calculation of basic or diluted weighted average shares.

All potentially dilutive items were excluded from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, as the Company was in a loss position.
