(Loss) Earnings per Share

The following data shows the amounts used in computing (loss) earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares.

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed as net (loss) income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes 541,473 and 450,618 of restricted shares at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as these shares were issued but were not vested and, therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic (loss) earnings per share at the balance sheet dates.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) and unvested restricted shares that are potentially dilutive securities. When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted (loss) earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net loss per share.
