Net Loss Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Recursion calculated net loss per share of Class A, Class B and Exchangeable common stock using the two-class method. Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and other contingently issuable shares. For periods presented in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and as such are excluded from the calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a net loss and therefore basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock as if the earnings for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting amount per share for Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock was the same during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A, Class B and Exchangeable common stock:

Numerator:
Net loss	$	(91,373)	$	(65,327)

Net loss per share, basic and diluted	$	(0.39)	$	(0.34)

The Company excluded the following potential common shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
