Dilutive securities for 2025 consists of forward sales agreements entered into in the first, second, and third quarter of 2025 and third and fourth quarter of 2024 with certain of these securities settling in 2025 (applying the treasury stock method). Additionally, dilutive securities for 2024 consists of certain of the forward sales agreements entered into in 2024 with certain of these securities settling in 2024 (applying the treasury stock method). Dilutive securities for 2023 consists primarily of stock potentially to be issued to satisfy the obligation under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR (applying the if converted method).

Certain of the forward sales agreements entered into in 2025 and 2024 were potentially dilutive securities but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. See Note 19 for additional information.

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.
