| Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
19. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company has issued redeemable common stock (refer to Note 14) which is redeemable at an amount other than fair value. Redemption of a class of common stock at other than fair value increases or decreases the carrying amount of the redeemable common stock and is reflected in basic earnings per share using the two-class method. There were no redemptions of common stock, or adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable common stock during the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024. Accordingly, the two-class method presented below does not include the impact of any redemption. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes shares of restricted stock that meet the definition of a participating security because these shares are eligible to receive non -forfeitable dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock. Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated using the two-class method and basic earnings (loss) per share for the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, reflects only undistributed earnings. The computation below of basic earnings (loss) per share excludes the net loss attributable to shares of unvested restricted stock (participating non-vested restricted stock) from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of these unvested shares of restricted stock from the denominator. Diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated to give effect to the number of shares of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive instruments had been issued in each period. Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share utilizing the treasury stock method and are not considered to be participating securities, as the stock options do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of a portion of the restricted stock granted to employees during the current and previous fiscal periods as these shares of restricted stock are considered contingently returnable shares for the purposes of the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation and the vesting conditions in respect of a portion of the restricted stock had been satisfied. The vesting conditions are discussed in Note 17. The Company has excluded employee stock options to purchase 188,632 46,777 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted loss per share during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because the effect would be antidilutive. 19.
