Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was calculated for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 using the weighted average number of common and Class B common shares outstanding during the period excluding restricted stock and stock held in escrow.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we computed diluted earnings per share using (i) the number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock used in the basic earnings per share calculation as indicated above, (ii) if dilutive, the incremental common stock that we would issue upon the assumed exercise or vesting of stock-based awards and common stock warrants using the treasury stock method, (iii) if dilutive, our Convertible Notes using the if-converted method prior to the date of our irrevocable election to settle in cash as discussed in NOTE 7 — Debt, and (iv) other stock-based commitments.
The following table presents our basic and diluted earnings per share:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, a minimal number of shares of outstanding stock-based awards were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 1 million and approximately 4 million were excluded.
The earnings per share amounts are the same for common stock and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.

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.
