19. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities.

Additional stock-based awards of approximately 1.0 million and 3.8 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately 1.5 million and 6.1 million weighted average shares of stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
