EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Three Months Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)20212020
Net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona$117 $(140)
Weighted average common shares outstanding218.8 220.9 
Earnings (loss) per common share - basic$0.53 $(0.63)
Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common ShareThree Months Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)20212020
Net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona$117 $(140)
Weighted average common shares outstanding218.8 220.9 
Incremental weighted average shares from assumed exercise of dilutive options from stock-based compensation awards1.1 — 
Total weighted average diluted shares outstanding219.9 220.9 
Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted$0.53 $(0.63)

The calculation of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding excluded 1.4 million of potentially diluted common shares because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock options and RSUs of 0.8 million and 2.6 million equivalent shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding because their effect would be antidilutive.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares pursuant to its open market shares repurchase plan for a net cost of $90 million at an average price of $60.62.
