LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS HOLDINGS, INC. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method related to its Preferred Stock. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings available to stockholders for the period are allocated on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders and to the holders of convertible preferred stock based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive incremental common shares associated with restricted stock awards, shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method, and the potential common shares that could be issued from conversion of the Preferred Stock, using the if-converted method. When a net loss occurs, potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and such shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss from operations, therefore potential common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 0.9 million restricted shares, 1.5 million options and 9.0 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 0.8 million restricted shares, 2.4 million options and 8.4 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 0.8 million restricted shares, 0.2 million options and 8.0 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company calculated earnings per share as follows:

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.
