NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2017

Equity Instruments Outstanding

We have stock options and restricted stock units granted under various stock incentive plans that, upon exercise and vesting, respectively, would increase shares outstanding. We have 4.50% convertible subordinated notes which are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity into shares of Quantum common stock at a conversion price of $13.20 per share. We also had 3.50% convertible subordinated notes outstanding as of March 31, 2015, which were convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity into shares of Quantum common stock at a conversion price of $34.64 per share. Both the 4.50% and 3.50% notes, if converted, would increase shares outstanding.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, (in thousands, except per-share data):



	For the year ended March 31,
	2017		2016			2015
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	3,645	$	(76,394	)	$	17,083

Denominator:
Weighted average shares:
Basic	33,742		32,841			31,833
Dilutive shares from stock plans	371		—			670
Diluted	34,113		32,841			32,503

Basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.11	$	(2.33	)	$	0.54
Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.11	$	(2.33	)	$	0.53

Dilutive and potentially dilutive common shares from stock incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units. The dilutive impact related to our convertible subordinated notes is determined by applying the if-converted method, which includes adding the related weighted average shares to the denominator and the related interest expense to net income.

The computations of diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods presented exclude the following because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (in millions):
