Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Note 17. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have

been outstanding had potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and performance shares are reflected in diluted net income per share by applying the treasury stock method. There were no Frontdoor equity awards outstanding prior to the Spin-off.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

___________________________________

(1)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, earnings per share was calculated based on the 84,515,619 shares of Frontdoor stock that were outstanding at the date of the Spin-off.

(2)Options to purchase 0.3 million shares and 0.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
