Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share for Alico's common stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of common shares issuable under equity-based compensation plans in accordance with the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

The computation of diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended March 31, 2018 includes the impact of certain equity awards because they are dilutive. Such awards are comprised of 750,000 stock options granted to Executive Officers (see Note 12. "Related Party Transactions") during the three months ended December 31, 2016. These options were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the six months ended March 31, 2017.
