Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | 2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to Axiall is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to Axiall is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, adjusted for the dilutive effect of employee share-based compensation and other share-based compensation awards. Due to the net loss from continuing operations in the year ended December 31, 2015, common stock equivalents of 0.4 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. Certain of our restricted stock units participate in dividend distributions; however, the distributions for these restricted stock units do not have a material impact on our earnings (loss) per share calculation. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to determine basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to Axiall and discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:
