Earning Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Earnings (Loss) Per ShareBasic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. Under the two-class method of computing earnings (loss) per share, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities. The Company’s participating securities include restricted stock units (RSUs), director deferred shares and shares that were vested but deferred by employees. The Company calculated basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share under both the treasury stock method and the two-class method. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no differences in the earnings (loss) per share amounts calculated using the two methods. Accordingly, the treasury stock method is disclosed below; however, because the Company is in a net loss position, dilutive shares of 1.3 and 3.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are excluded from the shares used in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

The following table represents amounts used in computing earnings (loss) per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares:
