Earnings Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024


4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards and units. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was the same as basic loss per share as there was a net loss in the period and inclusion of potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
