Earnings Per Share
 
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC
260,
Earnings Per Share
. For purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”), a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock) is required to utilize the
two
-class method for calculating EPS unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The
two
-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the
two
-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period is calculated by taking the net income (loss) for the period, less both the dividends declared in the period on participating securities (whether or
not
paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or
not
earned) for the period. Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is further adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding and Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the beginning of the period. 
 
Successor
 
At
January 31, 2020
(Successor), the Company had outstanding (
1
)
13,017,777
million warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$11.50,
(
2
)
5.5
million outstanding unvested restricted stock awards, (
3
)
1.2
million outstanding vested incentive stock options, (
4
)
0.8
million outstanding unvested non-qualified stock options, and (
5
)
2.5
million shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all of which could potentially be dilutive. For the Successor period presented, the weighted-average dilutive impact, if any, of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, dilutive earnings (loss) per share is equal to basic earnings (loss) per share.

Predecessor
 
Under the terms and conditions of the Company’s Participating Preferred Stock Agreement, the holders of the preferred stock had the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents should the Company declare dividends on its common stock on a
one
-for-
one
per-share basis. Under the
two
-class method, undistributed earnings was calculated by the earnings for the period less the cumulative preferred stock dividends earned for the period. The undistributed earnings were then allocated on a pro-rata basis to the common and preferred stockholders on a
one
-for-
one
per-share basis. The weighted-average number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the period was then used to calculate basic EPS for each class of shares. As a result, the undistributed earnings available to common shareholders was calculated by earnings (loss) for the period less the cumulative preferred stock dividends earned for the period less undistributed earnings allocated to the holders of the preferred stock.
 
In periods in which the Company had a net loss or undistributed net loss, basic loss per share was calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
two
-class method was
not
used, because the holders of the preferred stock did
not
participate in losses.
