Note 3. Earnings per Share

We present both basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing "Net income attributable to EchoStar" by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised. The potential dilution from stock awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of our Class A common stock during the period. The calculation of our diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding excluded (i) underlying options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock as their effect is anti-dilutive of 2.7 million, 4.4 million and 4.0 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and (ii) shares of our Class A common stock that are contingently issuable based upon meeting a company-specific goal by March 31, 2015 pursuant to our performance based stock incentive plan, which was not probable of being achieved as of December 31, 2013 of 0.7 million, 0.7 million and 0.7 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following table presents basic and diluted EPS amounts for all periods and the corresponding weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculations.
