NOTE 13 — NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. Net earnings for all periods presented is attributable only to Class A common stockholders, due to no activity related to convertible preferred stock during those periods.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the losses or income of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following table presents potentially dilutive securities, as of the end of the period, excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per share of Class A common stock for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively:

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.
