Earnings Per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, less preferred stock dividends and accretion of preferred stock issuance costs, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. The net effect of common stock equivalents is based on the incremental common stock that would be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted earnings per share when their inclusion is antidilutive. Additionally, redeemable preferred stock is not convertible and does not affect dilutive shares.

There were no anti-dilutive shares during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2 thousand anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The computation of diluted weighted average earnings per share does not include 0.3 million and 0.1 million restricted shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive to earnings per share.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):
