Note 9. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share for theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands except shares and per share information):

Diluted earnings (loss) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period included any additional shares of common stock that would be issued if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised. In accordance with ASU 2020-06, the Company is required to disclose diluted EPS using (i) the treasury stock method for Option Awards that assumes shares were exercised at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later) and is intended to show the dilution effect to common stockholders and (ii) the if-converted method for the Convertible Notes that assumes the conversion of convertible securities at the beginning of the reporting period and is intended to show the maximum dilution effect to common stockholders regardless of how the conversion can occur. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the market-based conditions for the Option Awards were not met and the Convertible Notes were converted in full and are no longer outstanding. As such, both were not considered in the calculation of diluted EPS. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the adjustments for diluted EPS included additional effects for the Convertible Notes.
