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,  
    2026     2025     2026     2025  
Basic weighted-average number of shares     13,002       13,720       12,992       13,835  
Effect of dilutive securities:                                
Stock options     240       220       -       -  
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock     3       -       -       -  
Deferred stock units     27       -       -       -  
Diluted weighted-average number of shares     13,272       13,940       12,992       13,835  

 

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,  
    2026     2025     2026     2025  
Stock options     118       170       766       892  
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock     -       77       39       78  
Deferred stock units     -       90       55       54  
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share     118       337       860       1,024  

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, 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.
