Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Encore by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock, and the dilutive effect of the convertible senior notes. In computing the diluted net loss per share, dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect. On April 24, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program. In May 2014, the Company repurchased 400,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $16.8 million. In May 2015, the Company repurchased 839,295 shares of common stock for approximately $33.2 million, which represented the remaining amount allowed under the share repurchase program. On August 12, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new $50.0 million share repurchase program. Repurchases under this program are expected to be made with cash on hand and may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, in the open market, through private transactions, block transactions, or other methods as determined by the Company’s management and Board of Directors, and in accordance with market conditions, other corporate considerations, and applicable regulatory requirements. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. A reconciliation of shares used in calculating earnings per basic and diluted shares follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic | 25,450 |  |  | 25,879 |  |  | 25,800 |  |  | 25,811 |
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | — |  |  | 410 |  |  | 265 |  |  | 684 |
Dilutive effect of convertible senior notes | — |  |  | 1,043 |  |  | 847 |  |  | 1,118 |
Dilutive effect of warrants | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 9 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted | 25,450 |  |  | 27,332 |  |  | 26,912 |  |  | 27,622 |
Due to a one-time charge resulting from a settlement with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), discussed in detail in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” the Company incurred a net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2015, therefore the dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation during this period because of their anti-dilutive effect. There were no anti-dilutive employee stock options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company has the following convertible senior notes outstanding: $115.0 million convertible senior notes due 2017 at a conversion price equivalent to approximately $31.56 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “2017 Convertible Notes”), $172.5 million convertible senior notes due 2020 at a conversion price equivalent to approximately $45.72 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “2020 Convertible Notes”), and $161.0 million convertible senior notes due 2021 at a conversion price equivalent to approximately $59.39 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “2021 Convertible Notes”). In the event of conversion, the 2017 Convertible Notes are convertible into cash up to the aggregate principal amount and permit the excess conversion premium to be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. For the 2020 Convertible Notes and 2021 Convertible Notes, the Company has the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the 2020 and 2021 Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, upon conversion of all the convertible senior notes, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amounts are considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share during the periods presented above included the effect of the common shares issuable upon conversion of certain of the convertible senior notes, because the average stock price exceeded the conversion price of these notes. However, as described in Note 10, “Debt—Encore Convertible Notes,” and further described below, the Company entered into certain hedge transactions that have the effect of increasing the effective conversion price of the 2017 Convertible Notes to $60.00, the 2020 Convertible Notes to $61.55, and the 2021 Convertible Notes to $83.14. On January 2, 2014, the 2017 Convertible Notes became convertible as certain conditions for conversion were met in the immediately preceding calendar quarter as defined in the applicable indenture. However, none of the 2017 Convertible Notes have been converted.
