Computation Of Net Income Per Share

Note 17 Computation of Net Income per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.  Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to 3D Systems’ common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted income per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:
