Earnings Per Share
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") is presented on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
A reconciliation of common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted EPS is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock options and service-based restricted stock units representing 2,641,676 and 2,793,715 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to a net loss in the period. Stock options and service-based restricted stock units representing 862,559 and 471,964 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of applying the treasury stock method. In addition, performance-based restricted stock units representing 50,403 and 76,742 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 46,485 and 69,472 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because these shares were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.
