Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings or Loss per Share | Earnings or Loss per Share Basic earnings or loss per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares (e.g., options, SAR s, RSU s and PSU s) as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented. The details of our net loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders are set forth below:
| Three months ended
| March 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018
| in millions, except share amounts
Loss from continuing operations | $ | (306.9 | ) |  | $ | (1,367.2 | )
Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests | (8.7 | ) |  | (6.1 | )
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders | $ | (315.6 | ) |  | $ | (1,373.3 | )
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding - basic and diluted | 742,090,960 |  |  | 807,879,932 |
We reported losses from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Therefore, the potentially dilutive effect at March 31, 2019 and 2018 of the following items were not included in the computation of diluted loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSU s, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria: (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SAR s, PSAR s and RSU s of 74.8 million and 51.9 million, respectively, and (ii) the aggregate number of PSU s of 8.2 million and 7.3 million, respectively.
