Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculation consists of (i) unvested restricted stock and performance stock units, outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, and (ii) the Company’s Class C common stock using the “if-converted” method, which is net of tax.

Shares of the Company’s unvested restricted stock and performance stock units are eligible to receive dividends; however, dividend rights will be forfeited if the award does not vest. Accordingly, these shares are not considered participating securities. Shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock and warrants do not share in earnings or losses and are therefore not participating securities as well. In addition, the Company’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on May 25, 2017 as a result of shareholder vote. As such, the Company no longer has any participating securities and therefore does not utilize the two-class method.

The following table reflects the allocation of net income to common shareholders and EPS computations for the periods indicated based on a weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period:
