Note 18 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class B Common Stock using the two-class method. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options, warrants, RSUs and other contingently issuable shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, RSUs and other contingently issuable shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the more dilutive of (a) the two-class method or (b) the if-converted method and treasury stock method, as applicable. The computation of the diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock assumes the conversion of Class B Common Stock, while the diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock does not assume the conversion of those shares. In periods where the Company has a net loss, the

weighted-average number of shares used in the computation of diluted net loss per share is the same as for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the computation as their impact is anti-dilutive.

For the purposes of applying the if converted method or treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share, the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, the Make-Whole Shares, and stock options result in anti-dilution. Therefore, these securities are not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share. The Earnout Shares were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding because the number of dilutive shares is based on a conversion contingency associated with the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock which had not been met, and the contingency was not resolved, during the periods presented herein. The potential shares of Class A Common Stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to stockholders for the periods presented because including them would have an antidilutive effect were as follows:

Note 8 — Net Loss Per Share

For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. The following table shows the calculation of the Company’s net loss per common share — basic and diluted:
