16.Loss per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of subordinate voting shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of subordinate voting shares during the period, plus common stock equivalents, outstanding during the period. If the Corporation reports a net loss, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive subordinate voting share equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to subordinate voting shareholders:

In periods with a reported net loss, the effects of stock options, warrants, unvested restricted share units, are excluded and diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share. The following is a summary of the subordinate voting share equivalents for the securities outstanding during the respective periods that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share:

 

Year Ended December 31,  2025   2024 
Liability-classified warrants outstanding   1,475,143    3,636,363 
Equity-classified warrants outstanding   
-
    5,696,427 
Stock options outstanding   2,943,793    482,954 
Unvested restricted share units   2,283,943    2,828,336 
    6,702,879    12,644,080 

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.
