Earnings Per Share
We compute earnings per share based upon the treasury stock method. Earnings per share is computed using both basic shares and diluted shares. The difference between basic and diluted shares is that diluted shares include the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise or vesting of outstanding securities. Our stock-settled long-term performance awards, restricted stock units and ESPP could impact the diluted shares. The difference between basic and diluted shares was approximately 1.8 million, 1.4 million and 0.9 million as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, dilution resulted primarily from the dilutive effect of our stock-based awards.
Securities that could potentially be dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss from continuing operations exists or when the exercise price exceeds the market value of our Class A Common Stock because their inclusion would result in an anti-dilutive effect on per share amounts.
There were no anti-dilutive stock-settled long-term performance awards, restricted stock units and ESPP excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended 2025, 2024 and 2023.

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.
