Earnings (Loss) per Share |
Earnings (Loss) per Share | (2) Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Broadband shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented. The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following weighted average number of shares of outstanding common stock. ​

Potentially dilutive shares (1) |  | 1,382 |  | 1,148 |  | 1,340 |  | 1,273 | ​
Diluted WASO |  | 182,832 |  | 182,471 |  | 182,749 |  | 182,592 | ​
(1) Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which losses are reported since the result would be antidilutive.
