EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company has restricted stock awards which will provide dividends at the same rate as paid on the common stock with respect to the shares underlying the restricted stock awards. These outstanding restricted stock awards represent participating securities under authoritative guidance. The Company would recognize payments of the cash dividends on these awards as reductions in additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Income attributable to participating securities represents the undistributed earnings allocated to the participating securities using the two-class method permitted by GAAP for computing diluted EPS. The participating securities holders do not participate in the Company’s net losses.
On June 12, 2023, the Company announced that its Board had suspended the quarterly cash dividend, effective immediately; the final cash dividend was paid for the period ending March 31, 2023.
Additionally, on June 12, 2023, the Board also declared a stock dividend on the Company common stock of 5%, which was paid on June 30, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2023. Information concerning the Company’s common stock has been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 5% stock dividend distributed to Company stockholders on June 30, 2023. All per-share amounts and references to share amounts were updated to reflect the retrospective effect of the stock dividend.
In its calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not adjust its net loss for the effect of these participating securities because the adjustment was anti-dilutive.

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.
