Note 16. Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) are generally calculated as income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is generally calculated as income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents.

The calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended October 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
