EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

Basic earnings per share is calculated utilizing net income available to common stockholders of the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, divided by the weighted average number of shares of TKO Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the same period. TKO Class B common shares are included in diluted earnings per share only for periods in which their effect is dilutive and are otherwise excluded as anti-dilutive.

 

On March 10, 2026, the Company entered into an ASR Agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to repurchase $800.0 million of its Class A common stock. On March 11, 2026, the Company paid $800.0 million and received an initial delivery of 3,136,179 shares. The Company received final delivery of an additional 1,031,119 shares on July 1, 2026 based on the volume-weighted average price of TKO Class A common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement. The shares were retired upon receipt. Refer to Note 9, Stockholders' Equity for further information related to the ASR Agreement.
