Earnings Per Share

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2015

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s dilutive outstanding stock options or nonvested shares were exercised or vested, the contingently issuable shares were issued and the Company’s convertible debt was converted. The Company currently has only one class of shares of capital stock outstanding.

No adjustment was made to reported net loss attributable to common stockholders when calculating diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There was no effect of outstanding nonvested shares on diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 because the Company reported a consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders and inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive common shares include those associated with outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares and convertible debentures.

The following table shows the shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

In calculating earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, reported consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders was adjusted for interest expense, net of capitalized interest (including amortization expense of deferred debt fees), a related income tax effect and the loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in computing basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders.

Reconciliations showing the computation of basic and diluted shares and the related impact on income for the three - and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, are provided in the following table:
