Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
12. Net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and pre-funded warrants outstanding during the period. In addition to the conversion feature on the 2029 Convertible Notes described above, which the Company reviewed and concluded that if-converted would be anti-dilutive due to the facts surrounding the feature, the following potentially dilutive securities have also been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of December 31, as they would be anti-dilutive:
| 2025 | | 2024 | |
Stock options and RSUs |
| 11,546,697 |
| 10,657,091 |
Amounts in the table above reflect the common share equivalents of the noted instruments.

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.
