NOTE 22: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share calculations include any dilutive effect of potential common shares. In periods with a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted earnings per share are calculated using weighted-average basic shares for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 follows:

As a result of the net loss available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighed-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak had reported earnings available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed vesting of 1.6 million unvested restricted stock units and the assumed exercise of 1.4 million stock options.

 

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (2) the assumed exercise of 1.7 million outstanding employee stock options and (3) the assumed vesting of 0.2 million unvested restricted stock units because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.

 

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.2 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (2) the assumed exercise of 2.6 million outstanding employee stock options and (3) the assumed vesting of 0.2 million unvested restricted stock units because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.1 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (2) the assumed exercise of 3.9 million outstanding employee stock options because they would have been 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.
