Note 12 – Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock. For diluted net income per share, the dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected by application of the treasury stock method and convertible securities by application of the if-converted method, as applicable.
We take into account the effect on consolidated net income per share of dilutive securities of entities in which we hold equity interests that are accounted for using the equity method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders (in millions, except share amounts which are reflected in thousands, and per share amounts):

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period (in thousands):

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.
