NOTE 19 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company uses the two class method to compute its basic earnings (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). The following table summarizes the computations of basic EPS and diluted EPS. The allocation of earnings between Class A and Class B shares is based on their respective economic rights to the undistributed earnings of the Company. Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock-based compensation plans including restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. The restricted stock units were excluded from the treasury stock method computation of diluted shares as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There were no such exclusions made in the 2022 calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has used the number of shares transferred in the reorganization transaction for the denominator in the EPS calculation. The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.
