Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings (loss) per share equals net income attributable to the Company divided by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of our stock–based and other equity compensation awards.

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.
