As a result of the net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all potentially issuable common shares have been excluded from the diluted shares used in the computation of earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. Financial data for the fourth quarter of 2019 were negatively affected by the December 2019 Cyberattack, and restructuring costs for the European and North American reorganization, and are described in Item 7 and Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively. These negative effects were offset by a $646.0 million increase in fair market value of equity securities. The net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were primarily due to a $390.6 million and $814.1 million decrease in fair market value of equity securities, respectively. These changes in fair market value of equity securities mostly consisted of holding gains or losses on our investment in Sartorius AG. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2018 also included impairment losses on goodwill and long-lived assets in the amount of $292.5 million (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).
