Big Digital Energy, Inc. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
NOTE 4: BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE:
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to Mawson by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to Mawson by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and outstanding warrants and options. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.
Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, are as follows:
| Year ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Warrants to purchase Common Stock | 4,480,839 | 4,904,016 | ||||||

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.
