NOTE 13: BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period computation includes shares of common stock to be contractually issued as of the year end date and warrants exercisable for little or no consideration in relation to the share price. Shares of common stock that were issued and are subject to vesting conditions are not considered outstanding during the requisite service period. The determination of whether shares of common stock that were issued in return for a note receivable are considered outstanding depends on whether the entity has the ability and intent to cancel the shares if the note receivable is not repaid.  

 

Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period when the effect is dilutive. As at December 31, 2024, potential dilutive shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible promissory note. No adjustments have been made to the weighted average outstanding shares of common stock figures for the year ended December 31, 2024, or 2023, as the assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive.

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures

The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.

Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
