12. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic, except the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include additional outstanding shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs and PSUs, if dilutive. The dilutive effect, if any, of convertible shares is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table is a reconciliation of weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in thousands except per share amounts):

Earnings (loss) per Class A and Class B share - diluted
$0.02 $(1.26)$(1.52)

For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 1,046,000 outstanding common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. As we reported net losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, all outstanding shares would be considered antidilutive if they were to be assumed as vested or exercised.

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.
