Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock is calculated using the treasury-stock method and the dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the if-converted method.

The following table (in millions, except per share data) reconciles basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic	232.5			228.3			232.4			228.2
Dilutive unvested stock	—			—			—			—
Diluted	232.5			228.3			232.4			228.2

Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted net loss per share computations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017	2016	2017	2016
Stock options and unvested stock (1)	1.3	1.9	1.3	1.9

Total potentially dilutive common shares	17.9	17.9	17.9	17.9


(1)	Does not include 5.1 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 5.4 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 of unvested stock because the performance conditions had not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.
