The following table sets forth the components of the denominator for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding — basic		135,542,130		133,787,535		135,155,480		133,479,323
Effect of dilutive securities:
Restricted stock awards		—		695,653		—		455,358
Employee stock options		—		1,302		—		1,732
Other equity-based awards		—		703,102		—		577,683
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding — diluted		135,542,130		135,187,592		135,155,480		134,514,096

The Company generated a loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, so the effect of dilutive securities is not considered because their effect would be antidilutive. If the Company generated income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the effect of restricted stock awards, employee stock options, and other equity-based awards on the diluted shares calculation would have been an increase of 1,590,455 shares and 1,139,106 shares, respectively.

The following table sets forth the dilutive securities outstanding not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect is antidilutive:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
