Earnings Per Share

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture, issuances to be made on the vesting of unvested DSUs and the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.

 

The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. As such, the Company is not required to break out earnings per share by class.

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2025   2024   2025   2024 
Basic weighted-average number of shares   13,720    14,191    13,835    14,077 
Effect of dilutive securities:                    
Stock options   220    349    
-
    
-
 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   
-
    1    
-
    
-
 
Deferred stock units   
-
    1    
-
    
-
 
Diluted weighted-average number of shares   13,940    14,542    13,835    14,077 

 

The following shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2025   2024   2025   2024 
Stock options   170    126    892    861 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   77    181    78    216 
Deferred stock units   90    201    54    203 
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share   337    508    1,024    1,280 

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during those periods and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.
