The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share amounts. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The following table reconciles basic weighted average outstanding shares to diluted weighted average outstanding for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

The calculation for weighted average outstanding diluted loss per share excludes stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of shares during the period. In addition to unexercised stock options, there was an immaterial number of additional shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive.
