Note 5. Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company complies with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted income (loss) per ordinary share attributable to Stratasys Ltd. for all periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Stratasys Ltd. by the weighted average number of shares, outstanding for the reporting periods. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and the potential dilutive ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) using the treasury stock method, as well as shares held back from issuance in connection with the MakerBot transaction.

The following table presents the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

The computation of diluted net income (loss) per share excluded stock options, RSUs and shares held back in connection with the MakerBot transaction in amounts of 2.95 million and 0.16 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the diluted net income (loss) per share.
