LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
On February 6, 2025, the Company completed a rights offering (“Rights Offering”) pursuant to which it distributed to the holders of record of the Company’s Common stock non-transferable subscription rights to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 9.2 million shares of Common stock. As the exercise price of the subscription right was less than the fair value of the Common stock, the subscription right contained a bonus element. In connection with this transaction, and in accordance with FASB ASC 260—Earnings Per Share, the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding and basic and diluted loss per share were retroactively adjusted for all periods presented by a factor of 1.002. Refer to “Note 18. Subsequent Events” for more information.

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.
