Elauwit Connection, Inc. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
Note 12. Net Loss per Share
Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods of loss, no loss is allocated to the participating securities since the holders have no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.
The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Because the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities would have been antidilutive.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion would have been antidilutive:

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in November 2025, the Company issued warrants to the Representative to purchase an aggregate of 121,520 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.35 per share (see Note 8). These warrants are initially exercisable beginning six months after the effective date of the registration statement and expire on November 2, 2030. The warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 because their effect would have been antidilutive. At December 31, 2024, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
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.
