13. Earnings per Share
The following table presents the basic earnings per share (“EPS”) for a share of Class A common stock:
Year Ended March 31,
202620252024
Net income attributable to HLI$249,180 $217,417 $140,858 
Weighted Average Shares41,605,636 39,922,212 37,858,177 
Basic EPS of Class A common stock$5.99 $5.45 $3.72 
Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to HLI, and, therefore, are not participating shares. As a result, a separate presentation of basic and diluted EPS of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive to the Class A common stock because the Class B units to which the Class B common stock corresponds are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock
on a one-for-one basis, at which time the share of Class B common stock is surrendered in exchange for a payment of its par value.

The adjustments to net income for dilutive shares are based upon the additional income that would be allocated to HLI for the change in its ownership percentage due to the dilutive shares and adjusted for the incremental income tax expense related to the additional allocated income. Net income (loss) recorded by HLI on a standalone basis will determine if the Class B and Class C units are dilutive or antidilutive in each respective period.

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.
