OMEROS CORP Earnings Per Share Disclosure
Note 4—Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive securities include common shares related to our stock options using the treasury stock method and convertible senior notes calculated using the if-converted method. In periods where we have a net loss from continuing operations but overall net income, we do not compute Diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive. When there is a net loss, potentially dilutive securities, like stock options or convertible debt, are typically excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from Diluted EPS are calculated based on a weighted average of days in the quarter from when the respective transactions occurred and are shown as follows:

| (1) | On May 14, 2025, we exchanged $70.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes for 2029 Notes on a one-for-one basis in the Convertible Note Exchange and recorded a reduction of an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes to be equitized pursuant to the Equitization Transaction. The 2029 Notes are subject to a conversion arrangement that potentially increases the dilutive effect of conversion as described in “Note 7 — Debt.” |
| (2) | The 2026 Notes were subject to a capped call arrangement that potentially reduced the dilutive effect of conversion as described in “Note 7 — Debt.” Any potential impact of the capped call arrangement is excluded from this table. The remaining outstanding 2026 Notes were fully repaid at maturity on February 15, 2026. |
| (3) | On June 3, 2024, we repurchased $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes, reducing any effect of the dilution related to these notes. (For further details refer to “Note 7 — Debt”). |
| (4) | The 2023 Notes were fully repaid at maturity on November 15, 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.
