EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-
average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed
giving effect to potentially dilutive shares, including LLC equity awards and the non-controlling interests’ LLC Common
Units that are exchangeable into Class A common stock. As shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and
are not participating securities, they are not included in the Company’s calculation. A reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is as follows:

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.
