Earnings Per Share
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares, including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Potentially dilutive securities, whose effect would have been antidilutive, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. The following table details the number of shares of common stock underlying those securities that were excluded from the computation of weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – diluted (shares in thousands):

The potentially dilutive securities shown in the table above exclude an option to purchase up to approximately $5.0 million of the company’s common stock pursuant to the SPOA entered in connection with the RIPA, as the exercise price cannot be determined until the date of exercise. See Note 13 “Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement” for more information.

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.
