14. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method. Due to the Company’s loss position, the share-based payment awards are anti-dilutive.

The Company had a net loss during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and therefore all potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive and accordingly were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Stock options of 1.8 million shares and 1.5 million shares were outstanding at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Restricted stock units and performance stock units totaling 0.8 million were outstanding at each of September 30, 2023 and 2022. These securities were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the awards’ impact on EPS would have been anti-dilutive.
