Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Note 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

We calculate basic income (loss) per common share on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effect of potential dilutive common shares during the period using the treasury stock and if-converted methods.

Potential dilutive shares of common stock include outstanding unvested restricted stock awards, deferred restricted stock units, performance based units, warrants and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as dilutive units) for periods in which we have reported net income. For periods in which we report net losses, potential dilutive units are excluded, as their conversion and exercise would be anti-dilutive.

The following table represents net income (loss) per common share – basic and diluted (in thousands, except income (loss) per share):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, all outstanding dilutive units were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as our reported net loss would cause their conversion and exercise to have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted loss per share.
