6.   Earnings per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit/(loss) for the period net of tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the period net of tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the potentially dilutive instruments into ordinary shares.

The following reflects the earnings and number of shares used in basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The Company does not consider the effect of its public warrants and its private placement warrants in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since they do not have a dilutive effect as at the reporting date as they are out of the money. Deferred exchange shares are also not considered by the Company in the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share due to the expiration of the right to their receipt in respect of the entire number of 2,000,000 deferred exchange shares as of the reporting date.
