Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
(Losses) Earnings Per Share
(LOSSES) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated with reference to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares are not included in the calculation. The computation of diluted EPS for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, assumes the conversion of potentially dilutive instruments.

The components of the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted EPS are as follows:
