​

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.

Additional stock-based awards of 3.8 million and 5.2 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 6.1 million and 3.6 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
