Note 12—Earnings per Share

We compute EPS only for the period after February 1, 2017, the date on which our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the period during which common stock was outstanding by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during such period, adjusted for non-vested shares of RSUs and RSAs. Diluted EPS is similar to computing basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of non-vested RSUs and RSAs, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive.

All outstanding non-vested RSUs and RSAs that have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings in periods when we have net income. Certain of our non-vested RSUs and RSAs, as identified in Note 10, are considered participating securities, as are our redeemable INVH LP units.

Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

Incremental shares attributed to non-vested RSUs and RSAs are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the periods in which we had a net loss as their inclusion would reduce our net loss per share and would be anti-dilutive. The number of incremental shares excluded is (i) 1,129,465 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, (ii) 1,242,853 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and (iii) 445,595 for the period from February 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. No incremental shares attributed to non-vested RSUs and RSAs are excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as we had net income for the period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the redeemable INVH LP units have been excluded from the computation of EPS because all loss attributable to the INVH LP units has been recorded as non-controlling interest and thus excluded from net loss available to common shareholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the potential shares of common stock contingently issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes are also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as we have the intent and ability to settle the obligations in cash.
