| Earnings Per Share |
14. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding without the consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding performance stock units, restricted stock units, public and private placement warrants, the employee stock purchase plan and stock options. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the potential dilutive shares of common stock for the period determined using the treasury stock method. During periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the antidilutive effect of potential common shares is disregarded. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share:

In accordance with the treasury stock method the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock-based awards, except when such effect would be antidilutive. Stock-based awards of 10.6 million, 15.6 million and 6.9 million weighted-average shares were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share because the net loss position of the Company made them antidilutive.
