Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (losses) per share (EPS) is based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding any dilutive effects of unvested restricted stock awards, or other dilutive securities. Diluted EPS is based on (i) the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares (unvested restricted stock awards outstanding during the year), pursuant to the Treasury Stock method, and (ii) the potential conversion of the Convertible Notes, pursuant to the If-converted method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented:

(1)Includes amounts that related to the previously disclosed discontinued operations associated with the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment in 2021 and the sale of our former Epsilon segment in 2019. For additional information, refer to Note 1, “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2)As the effect would have been anti-dilutive, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 approximately 0.5 million and 0.7 million, respectively, in restricted stock awards were excluded from each calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the anti-dilutive effect from restricted stock awards on the weighted average dilutive common shares was insignificant.
(3)Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes under certain conditions until March 15, 2028, and on or after such date without condition. Upon any such conversion, we will repay the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash, and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both (at our election), in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. At our option, we may redeem for cash, all or a portion of the Convertible Notes on or after June 21, 2026, and before the 51st scheduled trading day before the maturity date, but only if the closing price of our common stock reaches specified targets as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. We may also, from time to time, retire or purchase all or a portion of the outstanding Convertible Notes through cash purchases or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The conversion feature of the Convertible Notes has a dilutive impact on EPS when the average market price of our common stock for the period exceeds the conversion price of $38.43 per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 the average market price exceeded the conversion price and the dilutive effect is therefore included in the table above.
(4)In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Calls) with certain financial institution counterparties. Diluted weighted average common stock does not include the impact of the Capped Calls, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
