Earnings Per Share
Note 11. Earnings Per Share
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Sub-Topic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. It is computed by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding preferred shares, options and unvested stock units, and warrants outstanding pursuant to the treasury stock method.
As the Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the inclusion of certain options, unvested stock units, warrants, and contingent Sponsor Earnout Shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation.
The following table summarizes potential common shares that were excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive:

Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Sub-Topic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
