Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to Red Rock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive shares, including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, based on the application of the treasury stock method, and outstanding Class B common stock that is exchangeable, along with an equal number of LLC Units, for Class A common stock, based on the application of the if-converted method.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below (amounts in thousands):

The calculation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock excluded the following shares that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future because their inclusion would have been antidilutive (amounts in thousands):
As of December 31,

Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options
2,546 1,845 2,257 
Shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock

Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to share in the earnings of the Company and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

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.
