Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Note 10 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share The shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are reconciled as follows:
| Three Months Ended November 30, |
(In thousands) | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Weighted average basic common shares outstanding |  | 31,025 |  |  |  | 32,719 |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% convertible notes due 2024 (1) |  | 826 |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% convertible notes due 2028 (2) (3) |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units (2) (4) |  | 931 |  |  |  | — |
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding |  | 32,782 |  |  |  | 32,719 |
(1) The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 was excluded for the three months ended November 30, 2022 as they were considered anti-dilutive under the “if converted” method as further discussed below. (2) The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents was excluded from the share calculation for the three months ended November 30, 2022 due to a net loss. (3) The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2028 was excluded for the three months ended November 30, 2023 as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. As these notes require cash settlement for the principal, only a premium is potentially dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. (4) Restricted stock units and restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. Basic earnings (loss) per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing Net earnings (loss) attributable to Greenbrier by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. For the three months ended November 30, 2023, diluted EPS was calculated using the more dilutive of two methods. The first method includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second method supplements the first by also including the “if converted” effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 and shares underlying the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2028, when there is a conversion premium. Under the “if converted” method, debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes due 2024 are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents was excluded from the share calculation for the three months ended November 30, 2022 due to a net loss.
