Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share Earnings per Share
In the second quarter and first six months of 2025, Class B ordinary shares contingently issuable for the EPAs were evaluated and included in the diluted earnings per share computation as certain conditions were met. In the second quarter and first six months of 2024, Class B ordinary shares contingently issuable for the Equity Performance Awards were evaluated and were determined not to have any dilutive impact.

In the second quarter of 2025, we issued 24.5 million RP Holdings Class E Interests and an equal number of Royalty Pharma plc Class B ordinary which, upon vesting, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Royalty Pharma plc Class A ordinary shares. We use the “if-converted” method to determine the potentially dilutive effect related to the RP Holdings Class E Interests.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per Class A ordinary share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
