Basic net income (loss) per common share$0.07 $(0.20)$(8.41)$(0.37)

Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects share purchase options, including share appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted share units ("RSUs") and restricted stock using the treasury stock method when dilutive, and any contingently issuable shares when dilutive. Diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

As a result of the net loss in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the dilutive effect of the share purchase options, RSUs and restricted stock, and contingently issuable shares were considered anti-dilutive and, therefore, excluded from diluted net loss per share. The weighted average anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation due to the net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 totaled 2.5 million (three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 - 4.5 million and 5.3 million, respectively).
Additionally, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the outstanding common shares issuable presented below were excluded from diluted net income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect regardless of net income or loss in the period.
