Note 22 — Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share excludes common stock equivalents and is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. We calculate diluted earnings or loss per share by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding including the potential dilutive shares of common stock related to outstanding restricted stock awards, stock options and warrants as determined using the treasury stock method. For 2023, we have excluded the effect of all stock options, common stock awards, and warrants from the computation of diluted loss per share because of the anti-dilutive effect of our reported net loss.

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.
