Earnings Per Share from Discontinued Operations White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. Diluted earnings per share amounts are also impacted by the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share for discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2022:
|  | Year Ended December 31, 2022
Basic and diluted earnings per share numerators (in millions): |  |
Net income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders |  | $ | 792.8 |
Less: net income (loss) from continuing operations |  | (190.8) |
Less: net (income) loss from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interest |  | 81.1 |
Total income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders (1) |  | 902.5 |
Allocation of (earnings) losses to participating restricted common shares (2) |  | (11.4) |
