Net Income (Loss) per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

ASC 260, "Earnings per share" requires the use of the two-class method of computing earnings per share for all periods presented for each class of common stock and participating security as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Under the two-class method, during periods of net income, the net income is first reduced for dividends declared on all classes of securities to arrive at undistributed earnings. During periods of net losses, the net loss is reduced for dividends declared on participating securities only if the security has the right to participate in the earnings of the entity and an objectively determinable contractual obligation to share in net losses of the entity.

The remaining earnings are allocated to common stockholders and participating securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Each total is then divided by the applicable number of shares to arrive at basic earnings per share. For the diluted earnings, the denominator includes all outstanding shares of common stock and all potential shares of common stock assumed issued if they are dilutive. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of these potential shares of common stock.

The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 ($ in thousands except per share data):


	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Basic Earnings
Net income (loss)	$	67,691	$	60,201	$	126,026	$	(67,641)
Less: Preferred dividends	(3,385)		(3,385)		(6,770)		(6,770)
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	64,306	$	56,816	$	119,256	$	(74,411)
Less: Dividends on participating securities	(849)		(719)		(1,697)		(1,521)
Basic Earnings	$	63,457	$	56,097	$	117,559	$	(75,932)

Diluted Earnings
Basic Earnings	$	63,457	$	56,097	$	117,559	$	(75,932)
Add: Dividends on participating securities	849		719		1,697		—
Add: Interest expense on Convertible Notes	8,261		8,678		16,506		—
Diluted Earnings	$	72,567	$	65,494	$	135,762	$	(75,932)

Number of Shares:
Basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	139,884,060		151,523,513		139,845,178		152,735,852
Diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	170,832,186		182,083,702		170,812,544		152,735,852

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic	$	0.45	$	0.37	$	0.84	$	(0.50)
Diluted	$	0.42	$	0.36	$	0.79	$	(0.50)

The dilutive effect to earnings per share is determined using the "if-converted" method whereby interest expense on the outstanding Convertible Notes is added back to the diluted earnings per share numerator and all of the potentially dilutive shares are included in the diluted earnings per share denominator. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,

28,533,271 weighted-average potentially issuable shares with respect to the Convertible Notes were included in the dilutive earnings per share denominator. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, all of the potentially issuable shares with respect to the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect was anti-dilutive while for the three months ended June 30, 2020 the same number of potentially issuable shares were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect was dilutive. Refer to "Note 10 - Convertible Senior Notes, Net" for further discussion.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 2,414,855 and 2,434,095 weighted-average unvested RSUs, respectively, were included in the dilutive earnings per share denominator. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 2,017,080 weighted-average unvested RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect was anti-dilutive, while for the three months ended June 30, 2020, 2,026,918 weighted-average unvested RSUs were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect was dilutive.
