EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings (losses) per common share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings (losses) per common share of the Company are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding, inclusive of the effect of potentially dilutive securities (such as options to purchase common shares and restricted stock units and awards which were outstanding during the period but were anti-dilutive) through the application of the treasury method and/or the if-converted method, when applicable.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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.
