NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur under the more dilutive of either the treasury stock method or the two-class method for calculating the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Under the treasury stock method, potential shares of common stock include dilutive shares attributable to the assumed exercise of share options and vesting of RSUs and PSUs. Under the treasury stock method potential common shares outstanding are not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share (in millions, except for share and per-share data):

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures

The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.

Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
