NOTE 13 - NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock (“EPS”) is computed by dividing (i) net loss (the “Numerator”), by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period (the “Denominator”).

 

The calculation of diluted EPS is also required to include the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, convertible debt and Preferred Stock, and other Common Stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method, in order to compute the weighted average number of shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all Common Stock equivalents were antidilutive.

 

Presented below are the calculations of the Numerators and the Denominators for basic and diluted EPS (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

   2024   2023 
Calculation of Numerator:          
Net loss  $(11,136)   (13,583)
           
Loss applicable to common stockholders  $(11,136)  $(13,583)
           
Calculation of Denominator:          
Weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding   5,019,886    1,219,381 
           
Net loss per share of Common Stock (basic and diluted)  $(2.22)  $(11.14)

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following potential Common Stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Common Stock since the impact of inclusion was antidilutive (in thousands):

 

   2024   2023 
 
Common stock warrants   9,658    2,821 
Common stock options   1,238    127 
Total   10,896    2,948

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.
